The movie doesn't have Brad Dourif on it, nor Don Mancini's support. I'm still laughing at Mancini's Tweet about it.
Also worth noting is that apparently they will be removing all of the supernatural aspects of the story. Chucky will no longer be a voodoo practitioner serial killer who transfers his soul to a children's doll. It will be just a toy robot that malfunctions and starts killing people. I doubt he will even have a "voice" or an actual personality.
This is what I fear the most. Hope there will be more than just a malfunctioning robot. There's maybe a twist.
Maybe someone hacked the doll and put a serial profile in it...or maybe, many serial killers profiles. This could lead to something interesting and new,
It's still just a rumor, but I read somewhere that it's a disgruntled employee of the chinese company building the dolls that tempers with the new "Chucky" on the production line, making it homicidal. That employee commits suicide after doing it, so maybe there's more to it than just a random malfunction. Anyway, even if that's what they're going with, I still doubt this new "Chucky" will have any human personality at all (unless they're doing some AI gaining sentience type of thing, which would be utterly stupid). Maybe that's one of the reasons they decided to sack Dourif.
