Take a good look at the pile of 80s remake effluvia that includes Red Dawn , Footloose and Robocop , and then throw another turd on the barbie: MGM has announced plans to remake the Child’s Play ‘s film series, starring Chucky the homicidal doll. Must we? No one will claim that the original Child’s Play was any great work of art, but is there any reason to update it and remake for today’s audience other than a stirring need for cash? Besides which, do kids today even play with dolls anymore? Shouldn’t it be about a demonic Nintendo DS that comes to life and starts snapping shut (demonically!) on people’s fingers? Brad Dourif, the original voice of Chucky, is slated to return, as is the creator of the whole series, Don Mancini, to write and possibly direct. God only knows what Oprah will have to eat to get through this one . Just to stir your nostalgia, the original Child’s Play trailer is below. [ /Film ]
