(Spoilers) We Saw an Entire Scene from the New CHILD’S PLAY–And Chucky Really Doesn’t Like Cats!
A select group of journalists (myself included) was invited to screen the latest trailer for Orion’s rebooted Child’s Play yesterday. What none of us expected, however, was that we’d be treated to an entire scene from the upcoming film, directed by Lars Klevberg from a screenplay penned by Tyler Burton Smith.
Here’s a full rundown of what we saw:
Andy (played by Gabriel Bateman) is up late in his bedroom, playing a Stratego-type board game with his new best friend, a Buddi doll named Chucky. They’re having a blast, and Chucky (voiced by Mark Hamill) is clearly learning Andy’s specific lingo and mannerisms, commenting that his taking of a game piece was “a dick move!”
Andy reaches down for something that dropped off the table, and his cat (I’m 99% certain that its name was Mickey Mouse) lashes out and scratches his hand. A trickle of blood runs from his wound. Chucky is captivated, “What’s that?” he inquires? Andy makes a comment about how he hates that damn cat and heads off to the bathroom to fetch a bandaid.
“Cat hurt Andy,” Chucky says to no one in particular. His blue eyes turn red. From the bathroom, Andy hears the cat shrieking! He runs back into his room to find Chucky strangling poor Mickey. Is it malicious intent or simply a misunderstanding that came from a place of caring? I guess we’ll have to wait until the movie comes out to know for certain. Chucky does, however, release the cat on Andy’s command. The boy looks startled, but not exactly scared–not yet at least.
Andy’s step-dad (or mom’s boyfriend, or manny–who knows) rushes in to investigate the commotion. He scoops up Mickey and yells something along the lines of “Quit fucking around!”
