Chucky will return in Cult of Chucky! The seventh entry in the Child’s Play series begins shooting this coming Monday in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Watch the announcement video (revealed by EW) above.
Series creator Don Mancini – who has written every installment in the franchise and directed the last two – is once again at the helm as writer and director, and he’s bringing back several key cast members.
Brad Dourif will provide the voice of Chucky, as he’s done in all six films. He’ll be joined by Jennifer Tilly (Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky) as Tiffany, along with Alex Vincent (Child’s Play, Child’s Play 2), Fiona Dourif (Curse of Chucky), and Summer H. Howell (Curse of Chucky).
Here is the official synopsis:
Confined to an asylum for the criminally insane for the past four years, Nica Pierce (Fiona Dourif) is erroneously convinced that she, not Chucky, murdered her entire family. But when her psychiatrist introduces a new therapeutic “tool” to facilitate his patients’ group sessions — an all-too-familiar “Good Guy” doll with an innocently smiling face — a string of grisly deaths begins to plague the asylum, and Nica starts to wonder if maybe she isn’t crazy after all. Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent), Chucky’s now-grown-up nemesis from the original Child’s Play, races to Nica’s aid. But to save her he’ll have to get past Tiffany (Oscar-nominee Jennifer Tilly), Chucky’s long-ago bride, who will do anything, no matter how deadly or depraved, to help her beloved devil doll.
The first trailer for Alien: Covenant is the best Christmas gift any horror fan could ask for. Intense, familiar yet mysterious, and gorgeously shot; it appears to be everything you want from an Alien film.
Alien: Covenant follows the events of Prometheus, which itself is a
prequel 1979′s Alien. Ridley Scott, who helmed both Alien and Prometheus, is back in
the director’s chair. John Logan (Spectre, The Last Samurai) wrote the script.
Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England, Benjamin Rigby, and James Franco star.
The film opens on May 19 via 20th Century Fox. Here is the official synopsis:
The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the
far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted
paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a
threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.
After teasing us all week, the Alien: Covenant teaser trailer will debut tomorrow. Watch the announcement – featuring a hatching alien egg – above. I can’t think of a better Christmas present!
