 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here. I haven't had a chance to make a video on the topic So this is gonna be my first video regarding The 2018 news has been coming out about the child's play remake. They just started production on the film earlier this week They have they have their full cast Everybody's been casted. They have their new Andy. They have the new Karen. They have the new detective Norris They have all those main of components that were a factor in the original film that came out in 1988 from MGM because MGM is the one that's doing this remake all these years later now as well My official thought is that I do not personally I don't personally mine the remake anymore I was hesitant but looking at it from a non From an unbiased perspective. I will say I can't I can't deny this. This is probably gonna be the most successful that the Chucky franchise is going to be in a long time in terms of making box office revenue because The last two films went straight to DVD curse of Chucky from 2013 and culture Chucky from last year in 2017 They both went straight to DVD and They made a total of six to seven million dollars combined probably even less They weren't I want to say Curse of Chucky was actually received pretty well And then diamond scene he started showing those those of seed of Chucky habits again in cults of Chucky And then that was not as great as what that was not as good or even near as good as what we had gotten in cursor Chucky So cursor Chucky gave us some hope of a potential Successful path through the straight to DVD platform For the Chucky series to be continued and then diamond scene it came out with close to Chucky last year And that was not on par with what we got in curse of Chucky So with this new remake, I hope that I hope I'm not gonna say I hope it does well I just hope that this at least makes Chucky relevant again If the movie ends up being bad, of course, I'm gonna get my official review on it I am gonna review it fairly and criticize it for what it is I'm gonna point out what I liked and what I did not like because I do plan to go see the remake when it hits theaters I think MGM is not out of line for doing this at all I was hesitant at first, but I think what MGM wants to do is they want to try to revitalize and make In a make up for the mess that Don Mancini has done because Don Mancini has Since he's taken over the child's play series did go down I can't I can't really deny that the child's play series did go down He tried to bring it back up with curse of Chucky and he was doing he was doing fine And then he started to get back into the old habits from seed of Chucky and culture Chucky That's not that's not something I was a big fan of Chucky has been with us for several years Chucky has been around since the late night the late 80s He's he was a big factor in the 90s the early 90s in the late 90s Then the early 2000s, then he was gone after seed of Chucky Then he was present again for the two films that came out in the early 2010s and then last year's called the Chucky Tiffany we were introduced to Tiffany his bride We were introduced to Andy Barclay who was the start of all this stuff Andy Barclay received the doll as a birthday present when he was only six years old That's where the terror began and that's where most of the people who are a fan of the series That's where our love for Chucky and the series began We met several characters or beloved characters we have Kyle Kyle from child's play to everyone loves Kyle Kyle actually returned in the last film Who else do we have there was another character that we got to know I don't want to say this is a love character But Glenn the son or the offspring of Chucky. I don't know if this is a boy or a girl I think Chuck I think it's Glen or Glinda. I think they have a split personality That's another character. We were introduced to that was one of the other ridiculous aspects of seed of Chucky Just a lot of stuff We've been through a lot of stuff with Chucky in this series this series has not always this series is not Something I would consider Oscar worthy at all if I were to be given honest opinion on the series I do love this series, but I'm not gonna At like it's not at like it's not without flaws. I will consider this series to be at least a subpar a subpar horror series from the most part started off strong and then you know Got a bit rocky and then it hasn't been able really to get back up it had like a pit stop if you a pit stop if you will with a curse of Chucky that seemed to show of a Chance to go back to its roots and then Dom and seen it went back to the things that were everyone had a problem with in Colts of Chucky I mean in seed of Chucky in in the new cult of Chucky There was a lot of I couldn't help but still think of seed of Chucky It had too many seed of Chucky elements to it. It felt too comical. It didn't feel like it was being taken seriously And that film actually leaked early Colts of Chucky if I'm not mistaken leaked early So that I think that also played into a fact of MGM stepping in the same. Hey, we're gonna do something about this right now I'm a big fan of the Chucky series the cast for the remake has been revealed everyone for the everyone for the child's play remake has been cast and I honestly think they're gonna do an amazing job. I don't think anyone here is going to Going to necessarily suck. I mean the film itself as a whole could ultimately suck, but I do not see I Do not see anything of I Do not see this remake as an overall negative thing. I just think it's not going to I don't think it's going to be nearly as good as the original But I will say I do have I do have like a slight suspicion that it'll probably end up being one of the better Chucky sequels that we've gotten in recent memory Don Mancini has expressed his his hatred for the remake of to each his own I don't know why Don Mancini is so I Mean I understand to an extent, but Don Mancini hasn't really been hasn't really been doing the franchise any favors. So That's my honest opinion The cast for the film or Let me first talk about who the film is being written by The film is written by Tyler Burton Smith MGM has gotten him to write the film and Apparently he's gonna have the same premise so Andy Barclay is going to be getting the getting the doll is going to be Because it's going to be possessed. I don't think I don't actually think this was gonna be possessed and another thing about this Remake Brad Dorff. He will not be he will not be returning for this film So Brad Dorff is not going to be voicing Chucky I don't think we even found out who was going to be voicing Chucky yet So that's another downside to the room I know everyone and when you tear think of Chucky, you instantly think of Brad Dorff. So that was one of my cons Headed into the remake Brad Dorff sadly will not be returning but for everyone who's a who's a fan of what the Series has begun with Don Mancini as I I am not a fan of what the series has become but I am still a fan of that narrative being told by Don Mancini and We're still going to get a continuation of that in television form Don Mancini plans to do a TV series for it, but the cast for the remake is as follows Aubrey Plaza is going to be playing Karen of Brian Brian's Hyrie Henry and Gabriel Gabriel Bateman they both were respectively be playing detective Norris and Bateman is going to be playing Andy Andy Barkley But yes, that is the news I have on the child's play remake if you are looking forward to this Or if you're not let me know why down in the comment section below if you enjoyed the video give it a thumbs up if you Haven't already hit that subscribe button also in the description.
