So lasers for eyes? Buzz saws for hands?

Well I guess they ran the franchise into the ground already so nothing left but a reboot.

Sigh, welp there goes my hope for this franchise.
At least they'll still continue the continuity for Cult.

Guess it was bound to happen sooner or later.

We don’t need a reboot. Curse and Cult we’re fine sequels that got the franchise back on track imo.

A modern day, high-tech Chucky would be a f***ing smart phone. Lol.
I was baffled at this news until I saw that the original film and the sequels are owned by different studios. Since the series is still going strong, I thought we dodged a remake, but life, uh, finds a way...

Y'know, now that I'm thinking... Could this potentially be worse than Seed?
I mean yeah, sex jokes and family troubles in that movie was bad enough, but a robot Chucky with superhuman abilities? GTFO

Dourif won't be returning so it will flop.

Ironically, I have to wonder if the surprise success of the two DTV sequels inadvertently paved the way for a remake by showing there was still interest in the property. At any rate, I'll still believe it when I see it. They kept talking up a remake in 2008/2009 and it never panned out. |

You're absolutely right. There's never even been a Friday or Nightmare film since their remakes respectively. It really is a franchise killer. The ones to survive this were Texas Chainsaw Massacre by having Texas Chainsaw 3D be a direct sequel to the '74 original and then Leatherface be a prequel to said original, and Halloween with the new film coming as a direct sequel to the '78 film. |

As I said, at least there'll be the TV show to pick up after Cult. Although I'm also pretty mad they're not continuing with movies. |

Yeah. As a TV show and I heard Andy and Kyle will be the main stars and I am far more interested in watching the TV show than a remake if this is true and I think it is a mistake to remake 'Child's Play' and not every franchise needs a remake. I mean just look at what the remakes did for 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' and 'Friday the 13th.' Fans wanted more sequels set in the original continuity especially for 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' with Robert England returning as Freddy which Robert was willing to do at that time and they ruined it with a remake. Not everything needs a remake or a reboot especially active franchises that are still going like 'Child's Play.'

The two newest Chainsaw movies are so bad, I'd prefer the franchise remain dead. |

The two newest Chainsaw movies are so bad, I'd prefer the franchise remain dead. I didn't say they were good. Both of them are average at best. 3D had its moments that make it a quality slasher, but is ultimately ruined by the screwed up timeline issues and a ridiculously silly third act with Leatherface becoming an anti-hero. As for Leatherface, it might be better but then again, it just doesn't feel like a TCM film at all, minus the beginning and ending. Plus, I hated the guessing-game it tried to convey by making us guess who LF is until the reveal. As soon as there were the two left, I knew it'd be the guy, not the nurse. Though, it does have some nice gore and kills and Stephen Dorff was excellent. |

'Friday the 13th' has legal problems at the moment which is why they are taking so long to make another movie but if it weren't for them we would have got another one by now 'cause they were working on one not long ago that was set to come out and then the court case come about and it was put on hold and the producers of that movie recently said they are going to make sure there is another movie as soon as the court case is worked out 'cause they know a lot of fans want to see another one but there were no legal problems I was aware of in the 90s and 00s that prevented them making movies after they made a lot of them in the 80s and other less popular Horror franchises were still going. Most Horror fans I know liked 'New Nightmare' too and would have liked another Freddy movie in the 90s and they could have made a 'New Nightmare 2' with Lisa Wilcox or Robert Englund playing himself since we didn't see him much in 'New Nightmare' and he seemed to have skipped town when he found out about Freddy. Seeing Robert face Freddy would have been fun. 
I think 'Resurrection' killed the original 'Halloween' franchise and if they had continued on with a proper follow up to 'H20' with Josh Hartnett and Michelle Williams it might have kept the franchise alive but I heard that wasn't so much their fault as Josh Harnett turned down coming back for a sequel and they rewrote the movie into the one we got. Killing Laurie off so early was still a crappy idea though and that movie might have been better if they had kept Laurie alive up until the end and then killed her off. Back on topic though, there is really no need for some of these remakes 'cause they do nothing to help the franchises. 'Children of the Corn' is still going since its remake in 2009 too but the last two movies ('Genesis' and 'Runaway') ignored the remake which just shows how much it helped.
