When the original Child’s Play was introduced back in 1988, I doubt that the original creators Don Mancini, David Kirschner, or actor Brad Dourif ever saw this as a franchise that would produce seven different chapters let alone a separate remake. Nonetheless, that is where we find ourselves as the original team still is formulating new stories while MGM is formulating a completely different avenue for remaking the product in their own image.
While the original “Chucky” involved a voodoo curse that put a killer into a doll, the new “Chucky” will involve a “hacked” programming code gone astray that will remove the limitations the “Buddy”doll once had as far as mayhem and violence. Another explanation given described a Chinese factory worker who committed suicide after programming the doll. Either way, it brings a more contemporary plot device to the story foregoing the more supernatural vibe of the original.
These changes have not come without some controversy as many fans of the original Child’s Play would prefer not to have their version tampered with, reprogrammed or otherwise. What about you, GVNation horror fans? Do you mind a new upgraded version of Chucky or do you prefer Chucky Classic?
