CHILD'S PLAY Director Promises Most Scenes Were Shot Practically and There's a New Image
Here’s a fun pop-up video style trailer for you to watch for the upcoming Child’s Play movie, where we get a bit of info from the director Lars Klevberg about his inspiration for the Chucky reboot, as well as notes on his methods for shooting the movie. It’s a brief video, but it’s fun to see some of the director’s thoughts behind the scenes of the upcoming horror flick.
Child’s Play stars Gabriel Bateman (Benji), Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation), Mark Hamill (Star Wars), Brian Tyree Henry (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), Tim Matheson (The West Wing), and David Lewis (Man of Steel).
Enjoy the video below and let us know if you’re stoked to see Child’s Play in theaters on June 21st. I also included a new photo from the film from Fandango.
The movie stars Aubrey Plaza as a mother who gives her son, Andy, a toy Buddi 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.
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.
