Production
Development
On July 3, 2018, it was officially announced that a modern-day version of Child's Play, a reboot, was in development at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, without the involvement of franchise creator Don Mancini, writer David Kirschner, nor Charles Lee "Chucky" Ray's voice actor Brad Dourif. Lars Klevberg signed on as director, with a script by Tyler Burton Smith (of Polaroid and Quantum Break fame, respectively). It and It: Chapter Two collaborative team Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg will serve as producers.
Casting
Later in July 2018, Liv Tyler was revealed as having been considered for a role in the film. In September 2018, Aubrey Plaza, Brian Tyree Henry and Gabriel Bateman joined the cast. In November 2018, Ty Consiglio and Beatrice Kitsos joined the cast.
Filming
Principal photography on the film began on September 20, 2018, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and wrapped on November 8, 2018. MastersFX, a visual effects company, took six weeks to prepare and assemble seven practical animatronic puppets, each with interchangeable arms and heads that performed a variety of required actions on set.
Release
The film is scheduled to be released in the United States on June 21, 2019.
Marketing
In September 2018, the first official image of Chucky was released, revealing the doll's first look. By November, the official poster was released revealing that for the film's adaptation, the Good Guy Dolls will be called Buddi; referencing the real-life My Buddy doll that influenced the character's original design. A WiFi symbol over the 'i' in 'Buddi' teases the character's hitech upgrades. Orion Pictures launched a film promotion website, making the film gain more popularity just ahead of the film's release.
