Fans of the Child's Play franchise will be happy to see the first look at Chucky sees the character going back to his classic look in the upcoming Curse of Chucky.
Fiona Dourif (who plays Nica in the movie) posted the image to her Instagram account with the caption, "that's my head on a soundtrack!". We can also assume that this will be the movie's poster and that a teaser trailer will be imminent.
Here's the synopsis...
Nica (Fiona Dourif) is grieving over the gruesome suicide of her mother when her domineering older sister Barb (Danielle Bisutti) arrives with her young family in tow to help settle their mother’s affairs. As the sisters butt heads over Nica’s plans for the future, Barb’s young daughter comforts herself with a grinning, red-haired talking doll named Chucky (voiced again by Brad Dourif) that recently arrived mysteriously in the mail. But as a string of brutal murders begins to terrorize the household, Nica suspects the doll may hold the key to the bloodshed. What she doesn’t know is that Chucky has a personal score to settle. He’s determined to finish a job he started more than 20 years earlier, and this time he’s going to see it through to the bloody and shocking end.

With Chucky's new look, it's hard to work out quite where this movie comes in the franchise's timeline. But what do we think of this classic look?
Curse of Chucky should be released this year and will also feature A. Martinez, Danielle Bisutti and Brennan Elliott with Brad Dourif returning to provide the voice of Chucky. The movie will be directed by Don Mancini, who has written every entry in the Child's Play franchise and directed the last instalment The Seed of Chucky in 2004.
