What is the Child’s Play release date?

Child’s Play is out in cinemas on Friday, June 21, 2019.

The first Child’s Play movie was released in 1988 and was directed by Tom Holland.

The film was dogged by controversy when, at the time of its release, a group of protesters crowded the MGM cinema at which Child’s Play was screening.

They called for a ban on the film, claiming it would incite violence in children.

What is the plot of Child’s Play?

Orion Pictures’ synopsis for Child’s Play reads: “The story follows a mother named Karen (Aubrey Plaza) who gives her son Andy (Gabriel Bateman) a toy doll, Chucky (Mark Hamill), though both aren’t aware of its evil nature.”

Who is in the cast of Child’s Play?

Gabriel Bateman plays Andy Barclay, the lonely 13-year-old boy who comes into the possession of a murderous doll.

Mark Hamill as the voice of Chucky, a murderous doll who attempts to kill the Barclays.

In the 2019 remake, director Lars Klevberg said the doll would be an “out-of-control robot doll” rather than a possessed doll.

Aubrey Plaza plays Karen Barclay, Andy’s mother who does not at first believe the doll is murderous.

Brian Tyree Henry plays Detective Mike Norris, a detective investigating a mysterious string of murders.

Tim Matheson plays Henry Kaslan, founder and CEO of Kaslan Corp, the company that manufactures the doll.

Marlon Kazadi plays Omar Norris, Andy’s best friend and son of Mike Norris.

Ty Consiglio, Anantjot S Aneja, and Beatrice Kitsos play Andy’s friends Pugg, Chris, and Falyn, respectively.

Other cast members include Nicole Anthony as Detective Willis, Norris’ partner, Carlease Burke as Doreen, Amber Taylor as Shane’s Daughter, Kenneth Tynan as Jonga Burger Dude, Michael Bardach as Homeless Man, and JC Meredith.

The reboot is being directed by Lars Klevberg (Polaroid) from a screenplay by Tyler Burton Smith (Sleeping Dogs, Quantum Break).

Child’s Play is being produced by Seth Graham-Smith and David Katzenberg, the producers of Stephen King’s It and It: Chapter Two.

The modern remake does not include the involvement of franchise creator Don Mancini or Brad Dourif.
