Hey folks, Harry here with some news on THE SEED OF CHUCKY that our buddy site, JoBlo, came up with! They did a great job talking to Don Mancini and here's the tidbits he sent me.... Now I have one thing in particular to add here... What the hell is Stacey "I don't like Horror Films" Snider doing in charge of UNIVERSAL "We Made Our Name On Horror Films" STUDIOS? Sigh...
Hey Hares:
Our horror movie man Arrow from Arrow in the Head (CLICK HERE) had a chance to interview the creator and screenwriter of all the CHILD'S PLAY movies yesterday, Don Mancini, and got many cool tidbits out of his exhaustive interview. The "scoopy" stuff includes:
1) Stacey Snider, head of Universal, basically "doesn't like horror movies" and nixed "Seed of Chucky" (which was supposed to be part 5 of the series). She's the same person who 86ed Zombie's HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES
2) Right now, they're thinking about shopping the series off to another studio, but Universal hasn't given them the right to do so yet, as they did for Zombie (lawyers and agents are involved as of now)
3) "Seed of Chucky"- the script Universal turned down, was gonna play more as a "gross out comedy like American Pie" than a horror film
4) The script basically had Chucky and Tiffany having a "baby doll", who was confused about his/her sexuality. Chucky was gonna try to make him a man and teach him how to kill, while Tiffanny tried to make him dress up and be a girl, a sort of parody of the “Father Knows Best” family sitcom
5) There's also a "Hannibal"-Chucky parody idea which Don has been thinking about, but nothing has been presented to the studio as of yet. It would "focus on Chucky’s only surviving victim who is bent on revenge...where in Hannibal it was pigs, this character would feed Chucky to a pack of ravenous toy poodles." Don himself, is likely to direct part 5, if ever it comes around to being made (his directorial debut).
Anyway, the whole interview could be found here: CLICK HERE
Laters!
