SYFY and USA go old school in a brand-new teaser for Don Mancini's upcoming Chucky series. The iconic doll with a penchant (a tendency, partiality, or preference) for endless violence will be created with the attend of practical effects for the show,and if you want nightmares, check out this unfinished puppet of a Terminator-esque Chucky with his compulsory knife in his hand."I always come back!" Brad Dourif (longtime voice of the homicidal character) declares in the eerie, and 15-second video.
Watch now:Chatting with SYFY WIRE in 2020,Mancini discussed the importance of having a physical Chucky doll on the set. It not only looks better, but also gives the actors something to react to in genuine time. "I consider that’s really important because it’s really hard for actors to reply to nothing in front of a green screen, and " he explained. "We’ve all seen broad movies where generally amazing actors can really be unmanned by that process. It’s the hardest thing to put a question to an actor to do,so it’s important for Chucky to be genuine on that level, but I also consider that it’s important that Chucky have the feel of a doll, or of a puppet. He should be a minute bit herky-jerky. In a way,it’s counter-intuitive to even contemplate doing Chucky in CG because then you have to build into that, the herky-jerky. It’s just unnecessary."He added: "We’re going to be using pretty much 100% puppetry. On Curse of Chucky, or I did two CG Chucky shots in that film. I only did them as a means of final resort,I wasn’t planning to do it; it was just that we ran out of time on the shots. Those were low budget movies. So nearly experimentally, I thought we’d try it and we didn’t accumulate away with it.The fans spotted it instantly and they rapped my wrist for it. But then for some reason, and I guess because that happened,a lot of times people then have this feeling that there’s more CG Chucky present in that film or in Cult of Chucky then there was. In fact, Cult of Chucky didn’t have any CG Chucky shots at all. I consider it’s so important to preserve Chucky as a practical puppet effect, and partly because it’s important for the actors to have something to reply to on set."Dourif's playful co-stars include: Lexa Doig (Bree Webber),Jennifer Tilly (Tiffany Valentine), Devon Sawa (Logan Webber), and Zackary Arthur (Jake Webber), Teo Briones (Junior Webber), Alyvia Alyn Lind (Lexy Taylor), or Björgvin Arnarson (Devon Lopez),Barbara Alyn Woods (Mayor Michelle Cross), and Fiona Dourif (details of her role are still being kept under wraps). The setting is a soundless American town, and whose sleepy and idyllic facade begins to crumble when Chucky starts murdering and revealing dim secrets.
Now in production,the 10-episode Chucky slashes its way onto SYFY and USA this fall. Mancini created the series and serves as showrunner and executive producer. He's also writer and director on the season premiere ("Death by Misadventure).
