if they keep it as a remake and make it "exactly" like the original then i would watch it. I don't like it when they change the story (its ok to add bits in). I hated it when they turned Chucky into a comedian for Bride and Seed and think they should get back to basics. I don't know why they don't just write a decent story and continue afer number 3 (fuck all the tiffany shit and doll sex). He's a serial killer, not a serial shagger. Laughing out loud

Yes, if they go back to the original than it would be worth the remake. For one, I think it's promising that the original actor and director are returning as posted as opposed to having a brand new director come in an reconfigure this classic as they did with Rob Zombie and Halloween.

I am very curious to what they will do to this movie.I like the franchise and would like to see them lose the comedy.

what if they could put ALL 3 original films into one big remake. and make sure it was stupidly gory?

As much as I love Mancini and Dourif, and nothing is better than this collaboration, I hate that they have no balls and are going to likely ruin a classic. I'd prefer something original. I don't even know where they would go with this story.

well when i first saw childs play i was only four years old and then i eventually saw the rest of the series and then i came to own all of them and i have been waiting for i a new movie in the series since the last one came out (there was something about it on the bonus features) and i think that it will be much better than the last ones and i think the only reason that they do have remakes is to introduce a new generation to a classic killer i mean we all had our fun with the original and we all love it but now its time for it to be introduced once more hopefully new fans will seek out the original movie to compare but, other than them doing that the fan base will eventually die away then it will be forgotten so if it wasnt for a bad ( or maybe good) remake no one would remember the original in the future.

I agree with Salem, at least its got Brad back for the voice. I agree with others to the extent that FUCKING REMAKES, its come to the point of remaking Chucky Hollywood are so sad and deprived, I mean with all of those people over there they cant make one original decent slasher or paranormal killer movie, thats just so so sad. After Childs Play 3 boy did the ass fall out of these movies, Jennifer Tilly shows how low and pathetic these films drowned, they wanted to take Chucky the goth way and Seed omg that is like one of my top 5 most terrible movies ever!!! Once again taking out the funny

Why mess with a classic???? seriously we know the stories already and if somethings different in the story it just ruins it!

OK. Seeing as how I am pretty much obsessed with these films (I should probably see a therapist) I think the Chuck needs a do-over. As much as I hate saying this, after the third installment they should've stopped. As much as I love Jennifer Tilly (not to mention seeing her in that dress during the opening scene) I think they should've waited. I whole-heartedly appreciate The Bride Of Chucky, because it incorporated two of my favorite movies (Child's Play and Frankenstein)and it was an interesting concept, but Seed went overboard. What I think they should do with remakes though is ask the fans for suggestions, cause I have thought of several things I would've done to improve several movies, and when the remakes come out I think "They should ask the true fans for what they wanna see. Seeing as how we are the ones that pay the salaries." Nonetheless if Dourif is on board with Mancini I have faith.

Im usually not a fan of remakes unless they turn out to be good just because i would like to see some originality, but the fact that Brad Dourif is doing the voice of chucky again and original writer/directer Don Mancini is doing it im ok with it. I don't think he will screw it up because he is the one who made the original one. This ins't some random directer and writer making it because they have no creativity of their own. I love the chucky movies even though the last two were horror/comedy's. I really hope the old look is as scary as the original chucky and that they keep chucky's first person perspective until the end of the movie.

Angry Fuck! Is NOTHING SACRED? I’m so sick and tired of remakes! The first one is the best and the scariest. Some said, they will probably CGI the hell out of this version and I don’t doubt that it will happen. The first worked so well BECAUSE Chucky was made to movie like a fucking living doll. Hell, to this day, I still get chills when I want that movie. That is the mark of a great horror movie. All these lame-ass rehashes have done nothing but ruin those films to a new generation. Hollywood, stop fucking with the classic horror movies. With a shit load of sucky horror movies to remake why, oh why fuck with horror masterpieces?!?!?!

God dammit...well...at least Brad Dourif will return as the voice of Chucky(the one and only good part). Why not just finish off the series with the fifth and hopefully final installment? Seems once again a waste of perfectly good film.

there are already five child's play/Chucky films. this would be number six. while im glad Brad Dourif is returning (Brad is one of my favorite genre actors ever, next to Bill Moseley, Bruce Campbell, and Jamie Lee Curtis). I still can't condone this remake, the original was perfect, sure the sequels slipped steadily downhill, but the orignal was the second Horror film I ever saw, the first being the Evil Dead. So needless to say the first Child's Play is near and dear to my horror blackened heart. While i have liked the remakes of slashers thus far (My Bloody Valentine, TCM, Halloween, and Friday the 13th) while i had my doubts about them they all left me feeling for the most part good. However Child's Play is different, atleast for me. while Friday the 13th and SAW are my favorite franchises, Chucky was my first. and i heard they wanted to do CG on this one, I wanna make myself loud and clear, CG is shit, CG IS SHIT. CG completely takes away all the coolness of a horror movie, and leaves you feeling molested. If they make Chucky CG i'll burn the theatre down. (JK, about that) but seriously i'll be pissed if the use CG.

Oh whoops X), sorry miscounted...well Seed was mainly a glen/glenda film X) but yeah. And yes I agree with the CGI concept in horror movies nowadays -_- they seem to perfect it with any other genre almost(Although Pan's Labyrinth was the fucking shit! Tongue), rarely do you see it perfected in horror movies. And it also being one of the major downfalls to horror movie, along with useless sequels( CREEPSHOW 3! -_- And day of the dead 2 -_-) and pointless remakes (ANOES, Hellraiser, American werewolf in London, ehhh Omen maybe, lots more).

Stare You know they'll CG the hell out of it. Why make an actual puppeteered animatronic when they can do BS CGI?
It'll suck.

if any 1 has a brain in hollywood (which no1 does) they would abandon any remakes not all but ones that they no that will SUCK! plus they will have to cgi it which will suck but it might(just might) be good or it will fail to make it into theatres and youll have to be very unfortunate to see it.
