Child's Play 2

Thommy Hutson has had a hand in the making of multiple documentaries about popular horror films: the 90 minute documentaries His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th and Scream: The Inside Story, the 2 hour documentary More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead and its shorter companion pieces They Won’t Stay Dead: A Look at the Return of the Living Dead Part II and Love Beyond the Grave: A Look at the Return of the Living Dead III. He was a producer on the 4 hour documentary Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy and the 6 and a half+ hour documentary Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th. Now he has turned his attention to the Child’s Play / Chucky franchise, resulting in the 295 minute (that’s 4 hours and 55 minutes) documentary Doc of Chucky! Doc of Chucky will be released through the Shudder streaming service on November 1st, and a poster for the film has now made its way online. You can check it out at the bottom of this article.

Directed by Hutson, the documentary has the following synopsis: The ultimate account of the Child’s Play film franchise and Chucky, a horror villain for the ages. With contributions from cast, crew, critics, historians, and experts, as well as clips, photographs, archival documents, behind-the-scenes footage, and more, experience the making-of story that proves you can’t keep a good guy down in a series of films that have created an icon.

It features interviews with Don Mancini, Brad Dourif, Jennifer Tilly, Catherine Hicks, Chris Sarandon, John Waters, Fiona Dourif, Perrey Reeves, Gerrit Graham, David Kirschner, and more.

The original Child’s Play was released in 1988 and has spawned a franchise that includes six sequels – Child’s Play 2 (1990), Child’s Play 3 (1991), Bride of Chucky (1998), Seed of Chucky (2004), Curse of Chucky (2013), Cult of Chucky (2017) – a 2019 remake, and three seasons of a TV series that ran on USA Network, Syfy, and the Peacock streaming service. The Chucky TV show was recently cancelled, but the cast is holding on to hope that it will find a new home for season 4. A new feature sequel is also in the works.

Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield, Tobey Maguire

Regardless of who your favorite live-action Spider-Man actor is, fans of the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler popped when Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker waltzed through a Marvel sparkle circle in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Seeing Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland on the silver screen simultaneously was one of the biggest movie moments of 2021, but according to Garfield, he wasn’t sure it would happen. Speaking with Esquire magazine, Garfield said he was still determining if Maguire would return to the franchise because of his limited desire to star in blockbuster films.

“I thought Tobey is not going to want to do that. He’ll act every 10 years much to my chagrin, and I’ve shared that to him,” Garfield admitted about his No Way Home role being in doubt. “When I heard that he was kind of leaning in I thought it was either going to be the greatest thing in the world or the worst thing in the world. I am so grateful because it was the most joyful thing ever. All the pressure was on Tom.”

The tremendous box office return for Spider-Man: No Way Home (1.9B+) obliterated Garfield’s doubts about the film being something fans wanted to see, and if it makes sense for the franchise, he’d like to swing as Spider-Man again.

“For sure, I would 100% come back if it was the right thing, if it’s additive to the culture, if there’s a great concept or something that hasn’t been done before that’s unique and odd and exciting and that you can sink your teeth into,” the actor told Esquire “I love that character, and it brings joy. If part of what I bring is joy, then I’m joyful in return.”

While fans wait to see if Sony launches a Spider-Man spinoff with Garfield back in the spandex or finds a way to include him in the forthcoming Spider-Man 4, you can catch him alongside Florence Pugh in the John Crowley-directed drama We Live in Time. In the tear-jerking film, an up-and-coming chef and a recent divorcée find their lives forever changed when a chance encounter brings them together in a decade-spanning, deeply moving romance.

Would you want Andrew Garfield to suit up as Spider-Man again? Is Spider-Man: No Way Home still as good as you remember, or were you caught in the moment upon its release? Let us know in the comments section below.
