A Sequel To 'M3GAN' Already In The Works?

A Sequel To ‘M3GAN’ Already In The Works?

The first month of 2023 is barely underway, and horror is already hit theaters hard. M3GAN is already crushing it, already bringing in $45 million worldwide at box offices just days after its premiere, so it is no surprise that a sequel to the killer doll movie is already reportedly in the works, according to Deadline. “We heard on Friday, per sources, that a sequel is already in early development.” Producer James Wan even took to Facebook to tease that the doll will be back for more blood. In the Certified Fresh movie, “Gemma is a brilliant roboticist at a toy company that 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”) and Violet McGraw (“Haunting of Hill House”) lead the cast.

New Horror Anthology ‘Free To a Bad Home’ Arrives This February (Trailer)

From the Hale Brothers, and in the tradition of Creepshow and V/H/S, comes a new horror anthology, Free to a Bad Home, about the various forms of evil that lurk in the shadows. In the movie, “The lives of three strangers – a widow, a thief, and an addict – are terrorized by cursed objects and those that spread them.” The film stars Miranda Nieman, Jake C. Young, Olivia Dennis, Hayley Sunshine, and Roni Locke. Says directors Scott and Kameron Hale, “Ever since watching classic horror movies, such as Night of the Living Dead and Halloween, at far too young of an age, we have always had an unshakeable love and obsession with film, but especially Horror. In our opinion, it is the most flexible, creative, and honest subgenre, and it affords those who embrace it an opportunity to tell stories that tap into every aspect of the human experience. We have always wanted to write, produce, and direct films.
