The early 2010s saw the start of preparations for a Child’s Play remake, with Brad Dourif returning to voice Chucky. But it was rejected, and the project descended into development hell. 2018 saw the announcement by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer of a remake with a new creative team than the original movie series.
In an interview, Klevberg stated that he was inspired by the 1982 science fiction movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial when he agreed to take the helm of the project from a script by Burton Smith. In Vancouver, British Columbia, principal photography on the movie started in September 2018 and ended in November.
On June 21, 2019, Orion Pictures and United Artists Releasing launched Child’s Play in theatres in the United States. With a $10 million budget, the movie made $45 million worldwide, and critics on Rotten Tomatoes agreed that it was “predictably gruesome” and “mostly enjoyable.”
