 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So some news came out yesterday about the upcoming child's play remake We have a new poster as well as a release date The new poster illustrates of the out the out the outer box of the of the good guy packaging that everyone's familiar with that Contained Chucky in the original film it appears of The name of the of the good guy doll if it's even going to be called that in this I think the name of the doll in this movie is going to be buddy We still have no word on who is voicing the new Chucky doll or in this case, buddy I'm assuming that's what the doll's name is going to be buddy our new friends of the ends name is buddy The director direct as far as who is directing it because no one no one from the original Continuity is involved in this as far as diamond senior and his whole team is concerned They're going to be continuing their continuity in the form of a TV series I think plans I Think plans for this remake were always lined up because I just found it very convenient How diamond Cindy wanted to just do a TV series and then now we're finding out that there is going to be a remake I think there was always something going on Involving this remake because everything's been fast-tracked So this has been going on and everything's been going on under under under everyone's nose It just wasn't brought to light until recently a few months ago as far as what was going on with this remake Chucky's been around with audience since 1988 when the original came out Everyone knows what goes on in the film. We have Charles Lee Ray played by Brad Dorff he transfers his soul into a doll in a local shop in Chicago after being gunned down by Detective Mike Norris The series just progresses and progresses and it follows Charles Lee Ray Nickname Chucky in this a good guy doll trying to terrorize and take over the first body to who he reveals his secret to the fact that he's really alive Chucky's been to Chucky's had a bride. He's had a had a son slash daughter He's had a few different things. Chucky's been a staple in the horror genre until until recently with this announcement He was the last the last one remaining without a remake now. I think the only one left is leprechaun Leprechaun is the only one that does not have a remake and I think that's going to change eventually at some point as well With if levercon returns coming out next month that gets a lot of attention I think we could be seeing some remakes in the future with that series as well The series as far as like what's going to happen in this new movie I I personally think that this is a good thing because Don Mancini the remake itself I think this could end up good because Don Mancini is part of the reason why Charles play started to decline He's the one behind seat of Chucky. He's the one that brought it back to some sort of Relevance and brought it back to form kind of a curse of Chucky and then he started doing his old tricks with cult a bit He brought up some of that seat of Chucky elements in the cult cult of Chucky And that's really not what we need as far as what Chucky is because Chucky needs to be feel like once he took over The series start to start to decline as far as quality goes It's still enjoyable movies don't get me wrong, but this is not the way Chucky was presented before MGM is going to be doing this film. They did the original the director of this movie is Lar Clevver it's going to be written by Tyler Burns Smith and Our cast as far as who's going to be playing our main main characters Andy will be played by Gabriel Bateman Aubrey Plaza plays Andy's mother Karen and Brian Tyree Henry is going to be Detective Norris This remake could either be a hit or miss of course That's with any remake. I think this is going to be a hit. That's me personally. I don't think it's going to be anything outlandish I'm not expecting something. I'm not expecting some complete masterpiece I'm gonna have the same expectations that I have for this Halloween movie The only difference in this new film I think is that Chucky is going to be of a like a robotic form type of like an AI technology It's not just going to be a regular puppet from the original classic. I Think that this movie could end up being one of the better remakes that have come out of recent memory If they execute it right because so far MGM seems like the whole mindset behind this is they want to remind Don Mancini of how Chucky is supposed to be done or how a Child's play series or film is supposed to be handled They want to bring back that mood that's lacking with Don Mancini's films because the original child's play still to this day Remains the best one The other ones while they are enjoyable. They just provide way too much exposition as far as like it just becomes too Something as simple as child's play like the original and the fact that there's so many sequels for it In fact, it's kind of redundant It's it doesn't really make any sense for there to be so many Chucky movies if I if you actually sit down just think about it There's no real reason for there to be so many Chucky movies at the end of the day They're all enjoyable and I love all of them But something is so simple like that. It's the same thing with Michael Myers There's no reason all these sequels should exist because it's gonna become repetitive and then it gets to a case Where you have to reveal motives and all that but luckily with Chucky We already know everything about him in the in the beginning of the series in the first film But that takes away again from the From the overall like question and the overall enjoyment in a way because you already know everything But that's just the news on the child's play remake the films gonna be released next summer with the toy story for film It's gonna be competing with that film.
