So...Chucky's a terminator now? Is that the vibe I'm getting from that trailer?

I get what they wanted to say here as a commentary on all the 'Smart technology' out there.
But this is not the franchise to retrofit into that kind of message. Half of the appeal of the Child's Play series is the Chucky character and personality. It wasn't just the fact that he was a murderous toy.

Actually watching the trailer, I think it'd be easier to argue this is an adaptation of Ultra Despair Girls than Child's Play. And even the only actual resemblance to Ultra Despair Girls is, "Cutesy AI toy viciously murdering people," so what does that tell you?

All that's missing is a Gorgonite.

That this is going to get an out of place shoot 'em up game at some point?

I adore Aubrey Plaza and actually saw that godawful 'Mike and Dave need wedding Dates' because of her, but I can't with this movie. It looks like steaming hot garbage.

It is missing the spirit that made the original movies so much fun.

It is missing the spirit that made the original movies so much fun. Literally. If spoilers are to be believed. *shrug* Yeah. I dunno, man. Not a bad angle to take it from. But I think the split movie lineage split may hurt this. It’s confusing. Cult was nothing to exclaim joy about. But uh..yeah. I’m sure it’ll make money in theaters like gangbusters though. Who knows about the execution. Also I’m not a fan of Plaza. Don’t know if that means I’d want to watch this or not.

Man, I hope that's not it. The trailer was already pretty iffy to me... Yeah, in the remake the doll is an artificial intelligence doll that's been "hacked" to make it evil. Im so sick of these "ooo technology scary!" films and tv shows.

You definitely want a remake to take its own chances and come up with its own ideas; otherwise, what's the point? But the problem here is that it's almost too much of a departure from the source material. So much that there's just about no point in using the name Child's Play or using the character of Chucky. It'd be like remaking Friday the 13th and making Jason a killer Norwegian plumber named Paul. There's just not enough resemblance to the source material.

Gotta capitalize on that sweet, sweet IP Money babyyyyyyyyy

I like the old Chucky movies well enough, but this looks really good to me. 🤷🏼♂️

Why would you hack a doll to be evil? Why not put that kind of talent to better use? Am I giving this more thought than they gave this entire movie?
