We chat with jason_blum & James Wan about how M3GAN has evolved since the initial pitch, whether more films are in store, and what makes Blumhouse horror so special:
Universal Pictures is starting off 2023 strong with the upcoming horror comedy M3GAN, which arrives in theaters on January 9. Straight from the minds behind the Conjuring universe comes a very different kind of killer doll, an AI whose love for a child can drive it to do anything—regardless of the morality in question. The story came from James Wan with a screenplay by Malignant's Akela Cooper. Gerard Johnstone directs M3GAN, which offers up a new horror IP after the recent rush of remakes.
James Wan: We knew going in that we wanted to make a killer doll movie that was different to all the other killer doll movies. Firstly, M3gan isn't possessed by some supernatural entity nor by some supernatural serial killer. We wanted to lean into something that was more of the real world; something that was more relevant to what's going on today with all this AI technology that is percolating and that is now coming up to the surface every day in our world.
Jason, you dressed up as M3gan for Halloween. I hope that this means that we'll be seeing much more M3GAN in the future. Could this be the beginning of another Insidious?
