Here we bring you the first look at the killer doll Chucky from the upcoming reboot of Child’s Play, which began production earlier this week.
Check out the new iteration of the creepy character in the tweet below:
The film’s official synopsis reads, “Child’s Play follows a mother (Aubrey Plaza) who gives her son (Mike and Gabriel Bateman) a toy doll for his birthday, unaware of its more sinister nature.” The film will be directed by Lars Klevberg.
In the original 1988 film, Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif) is critically injured and, before dying, puts his spirit into the body of a Good Guy doll, allowing the terror to come to life to fulfill Chucky’s murderous proclivities.
Sources shared with ComicBook.com previously this year stated that one character, named “Chen,” is a “Chinese factory worker who commits suicide shortly after re-programming a Buddy doll to have no limitations.” However, Chucky is described as “a defective ‘Buddy doll’ whose programming code was hacked so that he has no limitations to learning and also violence.”
What makes fans apprehensive about this reboot is that Mancini, Kirschner, and Dourif are all still continuing to develop additional films, as well as a possible TV series. They won’t be involved with the reboot, which could explain why the film is deviating from the source material.
What do you think of the first look?
