We feel incredibly lucky to have an icon creating a new take on an iconic character, Mark is a gifted actor and celebrated vocal performer, and he’s approached this challenge with incredible energy and commitment.
The forthcoming film will use the same plot as the original 1988 film – in which “Good Guys” doll aka Chucky was voiced by Brad Dourif – and star Aubrey, 34, as Karen Barclay a mother who unwittingly gives her son Andy (Gabriel Bateman) a toy doll that hides the soul of a serial killer.

This time around the Buddi doll aka Chucky will be helmed by Lars Klevberg and penned by Tyler Burton Smith.
‘Child’s Play’ is set to be released in the US on June 21.
