Buzz Lightyear Dies By The Hand of Chucky in New Poster For CHILD'S PLAY
I’m still not exactly sure why the marketing for the upcoming Child’s Play reboot has chucking killing off characters from Pixar’s Toy Story, but it’s making me want to see a crossover movie!
The latest poster features Chucky murdering Buzz Lightyear with his own ray guy. The poster also came with the caption:
“Playtime is never over. Your friend till the end hits the big screen on June 21.”
I really wish Pixar would respond in some way and have some fun with this, but I imagine they don’t want to give the film any kind of marketing, and I understand that. After all, they are killing their iconic characters. It’s all in good fun, though!
The movie stars Aubrey Plaza as a mother who gives her son, Andy, a toy Buddy doll for his birthday. Turns out the doll is sinister and primed for killing. The story follows a group of friends as they take on a technologically-advanced doll that enters their world. It’s also been reported that the version of Chucky in this film is "a defective 'Buddy doll' whose programming code was hacked so that he has no limitations to learning and also violence." There is no possessed doll in this remake.
Additional cast includes Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta), Gabriel Bateman (Lights Out) as Plaza’s son, Beatrice Kitsos (The Exorcist) and Ty Consiglio (Wonder) who will be playing the roles of Falyn and Pugg, respectively, two friends of Andy Barclay. Carlease Burke (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) will also star in the film. Then there’s Mark Hamill, who will be voicing Chucky.
The movie is directed by Lars Klevberg, who directed the horror movie Polaroid. As for the script, it was written by Tyler Burton Smith (Kung Fury 2). It producers David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith are producing.
Child’s Play will be released in theaters on June 21st.
