Bloody Disgusting spoke with "Child's Play" creator Don Mancini the other day and the man spoke candidly about the delays getting the fifth film - "Seed of Chucky" - into production, what to expect on the DVD and the future of the franchise:
On the film's tone: "Whereas 'Bride' was a parody of romantic comedies, 'Seed' is a parody of domestic dramas like "Ordinary People" and "Kramer vs. Kramer", where the kid represents the battleground upon which the parents wage war against one another".
On potentially returning to the franchise's horror feel: "In order to go back to our straightforward horror roots, we'd have to retool everything in such a way that would inevitably result in keeping Chucky in the shadows and on the sidelines. We're talking about a movie in which the main characters are NOT the dolls. And I'm not sure that's what fans really want. Seems to me they enjoy Chucky's character, and want to see more and more of him, and find out more about him. We'll see" .
What to expect on the DVD: Commentary tracks featuring Brad, Jennifer, David Kirschner, Corey Sienega, Tony Gardner, and myself. The deleted Debbie Carrington scene, with commentary explaining why it had to be cut. A series of hilarious, specially-shot skits featuring Chucky, Tiffany, and Glen. Behind-the-scenes/on-set/ making-of footage. Jennifer's diary. Video footage of Brad, Jennifer, and Billy Boyd recording the vocal tracks for Chucky, Tiffany, and Glen. An on-camera interview with composer Pino Donaggio. A piece on the animatronics and puppeteers. A piece on our VFX company, STARGATE, and how they helped us transform Romania into Hollywood. The teaser, trailer, and TV commercials.
