We're still seven months out from the release of CULT OF CHUCKY, the seventh film in the CHILD'S PLAY franchise, but that didn't stop the movie from receiving a lot of attention during an interview with star Jennifer Tilly when she appeared on the weekday morning show New York Live.
Tilly was ostensibly on the show to promote the fact that she was taking the stage last night for a performance of Celebrity Autobiography, but it was Chucky who dominated the conversation, and Tilly was obviously happy to discuss the franchise she has been a part of for ninteen of its twenty-nine years.
The full interview can be seen below, and while Tilly doesn't give away any details on the upcoming sequel, only saying that CULT OF CHUCKY will surprise and excite Chucky fans, it's fun to watch her talk about the movies.
Tilly reprises the role of Tiffany in CULT OF CHUCKY and is joined in the cast by fellow returning actors Fiona Dourif as Nica Pierce, Summer H. Howell as Alice, Alex Vincent as Andy Barclay, and Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky. New additions to the franchise include Grace Lynn Kung as the "hard-edged" Claire.
Written and directed by Don Mancini, the film finds Nica Pierce
at an asylum for the criminally insane where she has been confined for the past four years and is erroneously convinced that she, not Chucky, murdered her entire family. But when Nica's psychiatrist introduces a new therapeutic "tool" to facilitate his patients' group sessions — an all-too-familiar "Good Guy" doll with an innocently smiling face — a string of grisly deaths begins to plague the asylum, and Nica starts to wonder if maybe she isn't crazy after all. Andy Barclay, Chucky's now-grown-up nemesis from the original Child's Play, races to Nica's aid. But to save her he'll have to get past Tiffany, Chucky's long-ago bride, who will do anything, no matter how deadly or depraved, to help her beloved devil doll.
Universal will be releasing CULT OF CHUCKY on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD in time for Halloween.
