A couple of months ago it was announced that MGM was going to reboot the classic horror franchise Child’s Play. This movie is completely separate from the upcoming TV series that is being developed by creator Don Mancini, who will not be involved with the film reboot.
When the project was first announced we learned that the film would be a “contemporary reboot involving a group of kids… and a technologically-advanced doll enters their world.”
We now have some additional details on how the killer Chucky doll will be portrayed in the film and they are pretty much abandoning the whole voodoo possessed doll concept. According to CB, Chucky is “a defective ‘Buddy doll’ whose programming code was hacked so that he has no limitations to learning and also violence.”
