While already reported last year, there appears to be some “fresh” development on the long-planned Child’s Play remake.

While there is nothing “new” to report per se, Brad Dourif is still marked as a lock for the voice of “Chucky,” a Good Guy Doll possessed by the trapped soul of notorious killer Charles Lee Ray.

As before, franchise creator Don Mancini is still pegged to write and is “in talks” to direct. We reached out to him for confirmation.

Produced once again by David Kirschner, it appears that MGM, not Universal, will be behind the reboot.

There’s NO start date or fresh information, so I’d gather that this means the studio is revisiting the idea of making the film. More info as it comes in.
