The trailer is very short btw and you don’t see the doll in full of speaking, only a glimpse of his costume at the start crawling and a silhouette at the end. 

 

I worry about it’s release with this new studio, Orion? 

Orion isn't new necessarily, it distributed tons of films between 1978-1999.

MGM revived the brand in 2014.

Yeh I remember it from back in the day, it went bankrupt I think.

 

Who’s in charge of MGM now, distribution wise? Or are they just releasing themselves through this revived banner? 

 

Thats why I don’t think they’ll be able to get this to feel like an event, because it’s not one of the current majors.

Since December 2017, MGM has teamed with Annapurna to jointly distribute their titles. A few days ago, they rebranded their joint venture as United Artists Releasing, seeking to offer third-party distribution countering major studios.

It looks ok, I guess?

 

Original movies will keep going ( TV series ) and we'll also get that reboot. So, everyone gets happy, I hope.

To me, that looks surprisingly solid.

I am very curious as to how this performs at the box office.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Great footage, horrible music choice. 

[TMP]

Why are this and Annab3lle out so close to one another? Less than two weeks currently.

After seeing The Prodigy’s preview number, I don’t think the studio involved can get this to be the opening weekend hit that it could’ve been.

I'm here thinking that WB can trully create a great dark universe with all these horror movies succeeding left and right...not like Universal's...

Not a bad looking trailer. Didn't seem to spoil too much. Seemed to hit the right notes. Nobody's childhood has been ruined. (Well, maybe in the movie, but not in real life.)

OH yes Annabell v Chucky is coming~

That kid looks way too old to have a "talking buddy" type doll. 

[bcf26]

I liked the trailer.

[kaijukurt]

Rewatched the trailer only to discover a VERY spoilery shot

 

Either way still cautiously optimistic for this.

[ViewerAnon]

Bold choice to make Chucky look like Gary from Team America.

[EliasChristensen]

They do call him "Chucky"?

 

I thought this one was not allowed to use that name because of the rights? Wasn't the new puppet called "Buddi"?

 

However, that trailer looks decent. Should be worth a watch when it hits Netflix. 

 

I just hope someone moves either "Child's Play" or "Annab3lle". Doesn't make sense to open these two that near to each other.

...

Unless they put a wide release of the new "Puppet Master" in between and offer a triple feature. I'd be here for that.

Why am I looking forward to this more than any other film so far promoted this year? The trailers shows a solid hybrid of the best parts of Child's Play 1 and 2, but it didn't exactly set my expectations on fire. 2019 needs an early hit, and we've yet to see something of quality.
