Produced by Blumhouse and James Wan ( Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring, Malignant), the tech horror movie M3GANis headed to theaters next January, and early promo art from CinemaCon has arrived to unsettle this week.

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. Allison Williams plays Gemma, a brilliant roboticist at a toy company. She 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. Truitt, Brian (January 5, 2023).

CinemaCon Is Always Full Of Horror News

The film premiered earlier this year at SXSW. I wrote in my review out of the fest, “ Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style.
