Don Mancini Talks Child's Play Remake

The Child's Play franchise has always been one that I felt took a huge nose dive after it peaked on Child's Play 2. After part three the series began to inject much more humor into the films and turned the psychopathic killer doll into a punch line instead of a lunatic mass murderer on the run. The psychology of the killer James Earl Ray was completely erased. Now it seems a reboot is on the way.

Don Mancini the writer of the franchise will be helming the reboot as well writing script once again. AICN managed to track him down and talk about what the plan is with the new film and what, if any, feedback they have taken from the fans, "I think what we are mainly responding to, David and I, is the will of the fans, which is really telling us that they want to see a scary Chucky movie again. They want to go back to the straightforward horror rather than the horror comedy."

At the heart and soul of these fims has been Brad Dourif who has been the voice of Chucky in every entry of the film so far. So will he be back? Of course! "Who would you get that’s better? If you could recast it, you would want the actor to sound kind of like it, but it would feel weird to just be completely different I think."
