James Wan is Developing a Techno Horror Thriller Called M3GAN

Horror producers James Wan and Jason Blum are teaming up again for a new horror movie adventure. The film is called M3GAN and it's said to by a techno-horror thriller. The film will be directed by Gerard Johnstone, who directed the Australian horror movie Housebound, and the script comes from Akela Cooper, who is a writer-supervising producer who has worked on Luke Cage and American Horror Story. 

The film tells of "a brilliant toy company roboticist who uses artificial intelligence to develop M3GAN, a life-like doll programmed to emotionally bond with her newly orphaned niece. But when the doll’s programming works too well, she becomes overprotective of her new friend…with terrifying results."

Wan has already played with plenty of creepy dolls in his career. This one just gives it more of a sci-fi element. When talking about the project, Wan said:

"Pretty much the concept is about embracing technology too much and relying too much on it. And what happens with technology runs amok. It’s a commentary on the world we live in and it feels relevant."

Wan has a great track record with the films he attaches himself to and I can't wait to see how this one turns out. Wan goes on to say:

"I had such a great time working together with Jason on Insidious, a film that did a lot of good for both of us. I don’t forget where I started from and I’m grateful and appreciative of Jason. We’ve been looking for something to collaborate on again since."

Wan and Blum will produce the feature, which is aiming to begin shooting this fall.
