Update: Filming pushed back a week.

Is Chucky coming back as a robot?

Norwegian filmmaker Lars Klevberg is set to remake the 1980s cult horror film Child’s Play (working title The Kaslan Project) in Vancouver this Fall.

Filming dates: September 17th to November 8th.

What’s it about?

12-year-old Andy and his ragtag group of friends face off against a robot doll on a killing spree (this differs from the original concept of a doll possessed by the soul of a serial killer).

Lars Klevberg is directing based on a script by Tyler Burton Smith.

The original film was directed by Tom Holland and co-created by Don Mancini. The Klevberg remake is a different project than Mancini’s upcoming Child’s Play television series.
