The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) company will soon launch a series based on the popular Chucky killer doll, but that seems to disagree with this idea, is its creator Don Mancini, who said do not participate in the project.

"MGM is preparing a remake but I'm not there, the first movie was shot with MGM but the following were with Universal Pictures and now, MGM will start a series based on the first movie." It's very annoying They asked me if I wanted to become an executive producer and I told them no, I'm in my own business with Chucky. "

According to Mancini, MGM can realize this new project without its authorization – although it is the creator – since the rights of the first film of 1988 belong to this company.

"The series is based on the first film, so they can do it, it 's something a little complicated to explain, but the fact is that they can do it and it' s not. is annoying for me, "he said.

However, the 55-year-old writer and director announced that instead of taking legal action, he was working on two other films. The first is already writing.

"I have a contract with Universal Pictures that includes two other films.One of them will ensure the continuity of Chucky 's cult.We are in the process of writing it, we do not have any. We have not started pre-production yet, "he said.

Mancini announced that they hoped to start production early next year with the film that he hopes to release at Halloween in 2019. The next film, which will terminate his contract with Universal, should to arrive in cinemas by the year 2020.
