Unlike the original film, in which Chucky is the result of a serial killer performing a voodoo ritual in order to transfer his soul into a Good Guy doll, the upcoming CHILD'S PLAY remake gives Chucky a more high-tech makeover. This time around, Chucky is a robot doll gone amok with the ability to control other smart-devices. Orion Pictures have released a new featurette which dives into the remake's world of artificial intelligence gone mad.

The contemporary re-imagining of the 1988 horror classic follows Karen (Aubrey Plaza), a single mother who gifts her son Andy (Bateman) a Buddi doll, unaware of its more sinister nature. That doll is voiced by the legendary Mark Hamill this time around, and producer Seth Grahame-Smith has said that he was their "first choice," adding, "The fact that we have an icon reimagining an iconic character is just an incredible gift for us."
