Serving both as a remake of the 1988 eponymous film and a reboot of the Child's Play franchise, the film stars Aubrey Plaza, Gabriel Bateman, Brian Tyree Henry, and Mark Hamill as the voice of Chucky.

So say goodbye to the Good Guys doll, horror lovers and welcome Buddi, the new murderous, interactive toy who will be terrorizing people on the big screen.Įver since the franchise's inception, it has been synonymous with the killer doll known as Chucky, voiced by Brad Dourif. Reboots are all the rage and, even though this franchise has been going strong for three decades, the time has finally come to (sort of) scrap what's come before in favor of something new. ![]() In the modern Hollywood landscape, seemingly nothing is sacred.
