Child's Play remake?!

[Dr. Briggs]

Here is what I have found, but keep in mind this is still RUMOR at this point:

Produced By: David Kirschner

Written By: Don Mancini

Cast

Danny Trejo ... Paulie (rumored)

Brad Dourif ... Chucky (voice)

Scott Patterson ... Mike Norris (rumored)

Johnny Yong Bosch ... Uncle Jake Barclay (rumored)

Luke Manriquez ... Andy Barclay (rumored)

Lisa Foiles ... Andy's Babysitter (rumored)

Ariel Gade ... Terri (rumored)

Luke ... Extra (uncredited)

"The remake will tell the story of Chucky, all over again, but leave the comedy out. No more ‘side splitting’ Chucky, but the 2010 Child’s Play movie will be very dark and disturbing, holding true to it’s original roots.

In the Child’s Play movie, serial killer Charles Lee Ray gets gunned down by the police, and transfers his soul into a doll just before he dies. Days later, Andy Barclay gets the same doll for his birthday. In order for Charles (Chucky) to transfer his soul out of the doll, he must preform a voodoo chant on the first person he told his true identity to… Andy."

Take that for what it is worth...

Danny Trejo and Scott Patterson?? Can we say celeb casting? That kinda sucks; those guys can be way too over the top/Hollywood. I can understand the others better though.

I don't like taking all the humor out of it; Chucky's always been scariest as the cynical sadist type.
