One of the great aspects of the film is its playfulness. In short: think Goonies meets Adventures in Babysitting with a touch of The Princess Bride‘s aesthetic.
Like the best examples from the ’80s, however, there’s a persistent undercurrent of peril as the child characters are repeatedly put in danger with antagonists who won’t hesitate to harm or even murder them. This is evident from the film’s opening scene, which features ethereal folk music, heavily stylized cursive font, and fairytale language: “Are ye a knight or are ye a squire? Can ye solve the Riddle of Fire?” Weston Razooli’s Riddle of Fire has all of the hallmarks of a classic ’80s children adventure film, mixed with the quaintness of a British fairytale. There’s nothing quite like a throwback film – whether it’s driven by nostalgia or executed as a creative exercise, it’s fun to see how creatives handle the material. Kitsos and Consiglio are both represented by The Characters Talent Agency. Aaron Schmidt and Chris Ferguson are executive producing. The film is produced by David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith under their KatzSmith Productions banner ( It, It: Chapter 2). Klevberg directs from Tyler Burton Smith’s ( Kung Fury) screenplay based on the original movie. The cast also includes Beatrice Kitsos (FOX’s “The Exorcist”), Ty Consiglio ( Wonder) and Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta”).
You’ll also find Buddi wallpapers (below) and more goodies over on the site.Ĭhild’s Play follows a mother (Aubrey Plaza) who gives her son (Gabriel Bateman) a toy doll for his birthday, unaware of its more sinister nature. Over on, you can learn all about the Buddi dolls, which come equipped with a “highly intricate cloud-backed voice recognition engine capable of identifying speech,” as well as “20 sensors and cameras which provide detailed realtime information about its environment.” Buddi comes equipped to fluently converse in both English and Spanish.
TRICK OR TREAT STUDIOS BUDDI DOLL UPGRADE
The classic “Good Guys” doll gets an upgrade in next year’s Child’s Play remake from MGM and Orion, now known as “Buddi” (but don’t worry, the killer doll is still named Chucky).įrom what we’ve heard, one of the Buddi dolls will essentially get hacked to become a killing machine (no Charles Lee Ray or Brad Dourif in this one), and a new website for the film that was just launched previews the high-tech new Buddi doll that becomes the new Chucky.
