Mark Hamill is voicing Chucky in the Child's Play remake

Dourif has played executed-murderer-who-gets-his-soul-stuffed-into-a-Good-Guys-doll Charles Lee Ray in seven Child’s Play movies over the last 30 years, stretching from the original Child’s Play, all the way up to 2017's Cult Of Chucky. But as such, he’s also pretty closely associated with franchise producer Don Mancini, who’s been critical of MGM using its rights to the first movie in order to make this remake, so who knows how this all went down. (Don’t feel too bad for Dourif; he’s still one of the most prolific actors working in American horror, and recently returned to one of his more “respectable” characters, good-hearted sawbones Doc Cochran, via the Deadwood movie.)

Hamill joins a cast that already includes Aubrey Plaza, Gabriel Bateman, and Bryan Tyree Henry, all of whom are presumably going to find themselves scared shitless when their latest toy store purchase starts giggling and cackling out a bunch of Donald Trump tweets in a supervillain’s voice.
