At Wednesday nights world premiere of the Childs Play remake, it was obvious that evil doll Chucky the star of seven films over three decades had a little work done. And now he bears a striking resemblance to Donald Trumps Mini-Me.
Oh, you caught that? Aubrey Plaza told Variety on the black carpet outside ArcLight Hollywood.
Im waiting for all of the think pieces to come out about this issue, she continued. I mean, what can I say? The thought crossed my mind a couple of times. Maybe I improvised some lines about it. Maybe they made it in the cut. Maybe they didnt. Well see. (Promoting the film didnt prevent the openly bisexual actress from getting her Pride on this month: I didnt get out to any of the parades but I celebrated in my own way, she said. I mean, to me every month is Pride month.)
Mark Hamill, who was attracted to the sci-fi twist on the original movie (The fundamental difference is the origin of Chucky hes not a serial killer that transposes his soul into a doll, hes artificial intelligence and someone maliciously takes off the safety restrictions in his operating system, the actor best known as Luke Skywalker explained), couldnt deny the resemblance to President 45. Thats pretty accurate, he told Variety. Now hes even creepier than he was before. (Some people say that, director Lars Klevberg also admitted of the scary similarities.)
And the comparison certainly wasnt lost on costar Brian Tyree Henry: [Chuckys] incredibly creepy, he told Variety. And whos creepier [than Trump]? You know what Im saying?
Without revealing any spoilers, Henry added that this movie flips the script on decades of racist horror flicks where the black guy dies first. Know that I wouldnt have taken it, if that were the case, he told Variety. [But] it is true: That is the trope, and that was the way horror movies were back then they were commentaries on what we went through socially at the time.
Now thats a scary thought.
Childs Play is in theaters on June 21.
Yes. In the face, it does kind of look like Vagina Hayes of MSNBC.
