Over the weekend, Jennifer Tilly headed to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada to join the production of writer/director Don Mancini's CULT OF CHUCKY, the seventh film in the CHILD'S PLAY franchise. As Twitter pictures we shared yesterday showed, when Tilly arrived in Winnipeg on Sunday evening she had dark hair. She doesn't have dark hair anymore. The actress will be reprising the role of Chucky's bride Tiffany in the film, and to do so she has gone blonde.
In a couple more Twitter pictures, which are embedded below, Tilly shared a shot of her new 'do, as well as a picture of her reunion with Mancini, who has written or co-written every CHILD'S PLAY movie and previously directed SEED OF CHUCKY and CURSE OF CHUCKY.
Tilly is one of several returning actors in CULT. Also coming back from previous installments are Fiona Dourif as Nica Pierce, Summer H. Howell as Alice, Alex Vincent as Andy Barclay, and of course Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky.
The sole new addition we know of is Grace Lynn Kung, who will be playing a "hard-edged" character named Claire.
CULT OF CHUCKY 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 the film on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD in time for Halloween.
