Don Mancini Writing New 'Chucky' Movie as Theatrical Return Is Reported

Bloody Disgusting says he plans to direct with a darker, continuity-first approach.

Overview

Don Mancini told a Steel City Con crowd he is writing a new feature-length Chucky movie.
Bloody Disgusting reports he will direct the next film in the franchise.
The plan targets a theatrical release, which would be Chucky’s first big-screen outing in about 22 years, according to Bloody Disgusting.
He aims to make the movie scarier while keeping it within the established timeline of the films and the three-season TV series, the outlet reports.
Mancini also said he is developing a new TV series with Jennifer Tilly and writing a separate haunted-house horror script, with no studio, cast, or dates announced.
