Chucky Buddi doll from Child's Play on display...

This summer horror icon 'Chucky' received a remake and reboot in a new version of Child's Play, with the killer doll voiced this time around by Mark Hamill. This modern take on the 1988 film of the same name sees the 'Buddi' toy doll with violent tendencies upgraded into a high-tech version designed to be a life-long companion, but instead is back to wreck all-new terror on an unsuspecting family and their friends in Chicago.

This Buddi doll prop (in the film manufactured by the multinational Kaslan Corporation in Vietnam) was photographed in the foyer of ArcLight Hollywood cinema on June 28, 2019 (not the best images with all the display case reflections I'm afraid).

If Beale Street Could Talk film costumes on display...

Barry Jenkins adaption of James Baldwin's 1974 book, If Beale Street Could Talk, is a heartwarming and beautifully filmed love story, but equally an infuriating tale of racism and social injustice for black people in America. Set in 1970s New York City, KiKi Layne stars as 'Clementine "Tish" Rivers' whose artist boyfriend 'Alozo "Fonny" Hunt' is falsely accused and incarcerated for raping a woman. The pregnant Tish turns to her parents for support, 'Sharon' and 'Jospeh Rivers' (played by Oscar-winning Supporting Actress Regina King and Colman Domingo). Sharon tracks down and flies to Puerto Rico to try and convince the victim of Fonny's innocence, whilst Joseph hustles the streets of Harlem to provide money for his legal fees.
