![]() Once you’ve figured all that out, then you can get creative! I think it’s important that regardless of what movie you’re making, you have to make sure that the scenes and sequences and ideas are based on the DNA of the story that you want to tell.Ĭhucky is voiced brilliantly by Mark Hamill in the film – why did you think he would be the perfect voice for him? We’re dealing with AI and we have a doll who’s able to connect himself through the hub to different devices, but you have to have a clear idea of his motivation and why he wants to kill his victims. But for me, it’s important to ground those ideas into the story and have them be there for a reason, not just to be a gimmick. When you make a horror movie, you always try to come up with great kills and scares. The AI element of Chucky does make for some inventive deaths in the movie – did that give you more freedom to be creative? It’s like when (Russian president Vladimir) Putin said that whichever nation leads in artificial intelligence will rule the world – if you don’t slow down or regulate it, AI could be extremely dangerous. I don’t think the general public is afraid of it – they buy into it – but AI is not dissimilar to a lot of things that potentially pose a threat to mankind. But what happens if you have something, an entity, a doll that is self-aware and asks the first question that any self-aware entity should do: “What’s my purpose?” The movie is sort of a satire I guess, but it’s more like, “What would happen if one of our walking Alexas became self-aware and found its purpose?” I don’t think it would be any different! Spending time with this doll and seeing him going from A to Z in terms of how he changes throughout the story and the technological aspect of it… It made sense for us to do this reimagination now because the audience is very much aware – whether it’s an Alexa device at home, or even robots and AI assisting doctors with surgery, everybody depends on something that’s technologically advanced to help us throughout the day. The AI aspect of it was really interesting for me. I thought I could do something interesting with that.Īs well as being a horror movie, it’s also something of a satire on the smartphone/home generation… His motivation and beliefs were very understandable – of course, you don’t believe in his solutions, but you understand his motivations. That was interesting for me because it allowed me to create an antagonist in Chucky who was looking at the world for the very first time. But then I read it and I was just blown away by how great the script was – not only that it read like a great horror movie, but the fact they had changed the voodoo to artificial intelligence.ĭid that change of angle persuade you that you could bring something different to it? When they sent me the script, I was like of course I’ll read it but I don’t think it’s a story thats important for me to tell. I have huge respect for the first one – not only because it’s a great movie, but because they did tremendous things, astonishing things with special effects that still hold up today. I never saw myself making a Child’s Play movie in my career. What was it that convinced you to sign on to this reboot? All of these things make her more than a match for Chucky - a standard cloth and plastic Good-Guy Doll possessed by a tenacious but not especially brilliant serial killer.Child’s Play is a movie series with a big legacy. Things go wrong, though, because M3GAN is protective, smart, quick-learning, and equipped with access to the internet and all the world’s knowledge, as well as some sort of carbon-fiber skeleton. ![]() When she unexpectedly takes custody of her niece, Cady, after her parents die in a car accident, Gemma deploys M3GAN to be Cady’s new best friend (and, essentially, parental figure, since Gemma’s not quite cut out for it). In the movie, she plays Gemma, a roboticist at a toy company who invents a robotic doll named M3GAN. M3GAN can just do all of the research there is on Chucky’s weaknesses in a millisecond and figure it out. ![]() “M3GAN’s got this,” Allison Williams, the star of the movie, tells SYFY WIRE at a press junket ahead of the Jan. The producers, star, and director of M3GANall think that the deadly A.I.-powered doll from the upcoming Universal horror-thriller would totally kick Chucky’s butt. Chucky is the killer doll to beat, but it turns out he might have been beaten. He made his debut in the 1988 horror flick Child’s Play, and he is currently scaring, stabbing, and wise-cracking in SYFY and USA Network’s Chucky series, which recently wrapped up its sophomore season. Here at SYFY WIRE, we’re quite partial to Chucky.
