Read more about M3gan at: Wikipedia Official Site: Universal M3GAN (stylized as MΞGAN and pronounced "Megan") is a 2022 American science fiction horror film directed by Gerard Johnstone from a screenplay by Akela Cooper and a story by Cooper and James Wan. The plot of M3GAN follows Gemma (Allison Williams), a roboticist at a toy company who creates an artificially intelligent doll named M3GAN. When M3GAN becomes attached to Gemma's orphaned niece Cady (Violet McGraw), she develops self-awareness and becomes hostile to anyone who comes between her and Cady and Gemma. M3GAN's appearance is a combination of a physical performance by Amie Donald, practical makeup effects, and digital visual effects, while Jenna Davis provides the character's voice. M3GAN had its world premiere in Los Angeles on December 7, 2022, and was theatrically released in the United States on January 6, 2023, by Universal Pictures. The film received largely positive reviews from critics, who praised its campy blend of horror and humor, as well as the cast performances. Gemma, a roboticist at a toy company, uses artificial intelligence to develop M3GAN (short for Model 3 Generative Android), a lifelike doll programmed to be a child's greatest companion and a parent's greatest ally. After unexpectedly gaining custody of her niece Cady when the child's parents die in a car accident, Gemma enlists the help of the M3GAN prototype, a decision that has horrific consequences when the doll becomes self-aware and overprotective of Cady, leading her to kill and harm anyone that gets in her way of "protecting" Cady and Gemma. In July 2018, The Hollywood Reporter announced that production was underway for a "techno horror-thriller" titled M3GAN to be produced by James Wan and Jason Blum. Gerard Johnstone was confirmed to direct while Akela Cooper wrote the screenplay and story, with Wan. |
