Child's Play Remake: The Thread

**My Final Heaven** · 10-17-2010, 10:43 PM

I'm not sure how many people are in the know, but Child's Play is in the process of being remade right now.

Not sure how I feel about this, as the original is in my Top 3 favorite movies. Anybody who thinks of Chucky as Standup Comedian Freddy Krueger Lite like they made him out to be in the recent movies owes it to themselves to watch the '88 original. If any film ever deserved the old cliche of "A Rollercoaster Ride", this one does. The 1st time I watched it 18 years ago, I was literally out of breath at the end & didn't sleep for a day, it took so much out of me. Even watching it today, probably a hundred viewings later, there's certain scenes that can flip that long-buried switch in me if the mood's right (GIVE ME THE BOY AND I'LL LET YOU LIVE!) It's also the only movie I've bought 4 times (VHS, original DVD, 20th anniversary DVD, and a couple weeks ago, Bluray) There's a reason Brad Dourif's played Chucky 5 times (soon to be six), the guy's made the killer doll so much his own that the thought of anybody else playing the character is ludicrous.

Couple of things that've been picked up on the radar about the sequel -

Like I sadi up there, Brad Dourif's back as Chucky. Couldn't be happier about that, there's not many things that could make me leave the theater. One of them is seeing something like "Nick Nolte as Charles Lee Ray" in the opening credits.

One thing from the 20th birthday DVD that kind of makes me wary, there's several Easter Eggs of a horrible-looking CGI Chucky cracking puns. If that's a suggestion they're going the CGI route in the Remake, it won't kill the entire experience for me but it will make it considerably less enjoyable / more gay. Chucky's a puppet, not fucking Gollum.

Yeah, I started the thread. Get to the discussing & such.
