“Child’s Play follows a mother (Plaza) who gives her son (Mike and Gabriel Bateman) a toy doll for his birthday, unaware of its more sinister nature.”

The film will be directed by Lars Klevberg. Series creator Don Mancini and the voice of Chucky Brad Dourif will have nothing to do with this new reboot. But they will both continue to work on Mancini’s Chucky films and the rumored TV Series. 

In the original film, Charles Lee Ray (Dourif) is shot and before dying does a spell and puts his spirit into the body of a Good Guy doll. In the reboot “Chen,” is a “Chinese factory worker who commits suicide shortly after re-programming a Buddy doll to have no limitations.” Chucky is described as “a defective ‘Buddy doll’ whose programming code was hacked so that he has no limitations to learning and also violence.”
