I find few things creepier than dolls. If you’re like me you can’t get passed those dead eyes that always seem to be watching you. It’s even worse when they are animated, moving about. That’s what makes the horror movie M3GAN, from horror heavy hitter James Wan so disturbing. If you’re like me, the new trailer will truly give you the creeps.
In the movie, “Gemma, is a brilliant roboticist at a toy company who uses artificial intelligence to develop M3GAN, a life-like doll programmed to be a kid’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. After unexpectedly gaining custody of her orphaned niece, Gemma enlists the help of the M3GAN prototype — a decision that has unimaginable consequences.”
Allison Williams (“Girls”) leads the cast as Gemma. Ronny Chieng (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Crazy Rich Asians) also stars in the movie directed by Gerard Johnstone (Housebound) and written by Akela Cooper (Malignant, The Nun 2) which is based on a story by Wan.
Jason Blum and Wan are producing M3GAN along with Michael Clear and Judson Scott who are serving as executive producers for Wan’s Atomic Monster. Blumhouse’s Ryan Turek is an executive producer with Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath who are executive producing for Divide/Conquer. Mark Katchur and Williams are also executive producing.
When will be released? M3GAN will arrive in theaters on January 13, 2023.
