TD: Another of the many great things is the presence of Jennifer Tilly. What was her reaction when she read her "real-life" character in "Seed"? And also, has Julia Roberts responded?

DM: Before I could begin writing "Seed," I of course had to make sure Jennifer was into this idea. We'd become friends by this point, so I was pretty sure she'd embrace it. But I was surprised — and thrilled — by how gleeful she was about spoofing herself. She pushed me to go farther and farther with the character's outrageousness; at times, we had to pull back, in order to ensure that the character would remain sympathetic to the audience! (Jennifer recounts a few details in her hilarious on-set diary, which will be featured on the DVD.) We haven't heard anything from Ms. Roberts, although in the scene in which Jennifer accuses Julia of sleeping with her director, the studio advised us to add Hannah Spearritt's line "Jennifer, you know that's not true," in order to avoid truly offending Her Highness.

TD: "Seed Of Chucky" opens with one of the all-time great (non-porn) celluloid semen sequences, alongside the likes of "Look Who's Talking" (and "Look Whos Talking Too". I can't remember if the dog one had spunk jokes), "Ichi The Killer", and Woody Allen's "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex". Is this sequence biologically accurate? Also, someone posting on the IMDB message boards seems very confused as to how Tiffany ended up giving birth so quickly. Please take this opportunity for to clear this up for everyone.

DM: My standard answer to this question is this: Doll biology isn't an exact science. Little is known about it at this point, and experts disagree about even the most fundamental principles. After doing considerable research, I just had to take my best guess. I defy anyone to provide hard, real-life evidence which would contradict the details of Glen's conception and birth as depicted in these movies. No one can prove that dolls don't procreate like this.

TD: "Seed" seems to offer a conclusion to the saga, of sorts. Is this the end of the line for Chucky and Tiffany?

DM: God, I hope not. I want to remodel my house.

TD: Far as I can see, the reaction to the character of Tiffany since "Bride" has been pretty damn ecstatic (my own reaction included. Tiffany rules, is what, thanks also to the brilliant, sublime Ms Tilly). Did you envision the character being so popular, or was it initially just a kinda gimmick for that installment, and then probably things would revert to just Chucky?

DM: I wrote the part of Tiffany with Jennifer in mind. I knew that if she played the role, Tiffany could become Gracie Allen to Chucky's George Burns. I hope that they'll remain a venerable demonic duo.
