After what seems like an eternity of waiting, we finally have revealed to us the new character design for the demented killer doll Chucky in the upcoming Child’s Play film reboot. Here he is:
The new Chucky doesn’t look remarkably different than the OG, which is probably a good thing. The most notable difference is obviously the new Buddi label replacing the legendary Good Guy label. It has also been reported that a trailer for the film will be debuting this week as well.
Child’s Play, directed by Lars Klevberg, is slated to be released on June 21 of this year. The film will star Aubrey Plaza and Brian Tyree Henry, with Mark Hamill doing the voice of Chucky.
Ah now for the one thing everyone loathes...writing about themselves! Well for starters, my name is Chuck, and I am a south Jersey transplant living in Amish country. I’ve been a horror fan since 5th grade, about 16 years ago. My horror fandom started when I got my hands on a copy of Jay Anson’s novel The Amityville Horror. The book terrified me, and I knew I just had to watch the movie. An older cousin of mine had a copy of it, and that was the genesis of my obsession with the genre. Over the years I have expressed my horror fandom in many ways. Since about 2005 I have been regularly attending horror conventions. These have been great ways to amass collectibles, movies, and to meet some of my favorite celebrities. My best friend Mike and I used to run our own horror blog years ago, and we also dabbled in script writing. I am looking forward to going back to writing about horror, something I’ve always loved. When I’m not working (I work at PNC Bank), my non-horror interests are studying theology and economics, watching Japanese tokusatsu, and doing play-by-play commentary for professional wrestling. I’m also a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society and singing in a Barbershop quartet. Oh, and I’m probably the biggest fan of the Golden Girls you’ll ever meet. My top 5 horror flicks (definitely subject to change):
1. Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
2. Basket Case (1982)
3. Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
4. The Beyond (1981)
5. Dawn of the Dead (1978)
