Friendship evolves in trailer for Blumhouse horror M3GAN

October 12, 2022 by Amie Cranswick

Universal Pictures and Blumhouse has released a new poster and trailer for M3GAN, the upcoming horror from director Gerard Johstone and producers Jason Blum and James Wan.

The film stars Get Out’s Allison Williams as Gemma, a roboticist working for a toy company who has designed a life-like doll which can be programmed to be a child’s best friend, as she decides to give her prototype to her orphaned niece, leading to unimaginable consequences…

M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out’s Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to.

When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.

M3GAN features a cast that includes Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ronny Chieng, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Jen Van Epps, Lori Dungey, and Stephane Garneau-Monten.

M3GAN arrives in cinemas on January 13th.
