Megan (stylized as M3GAN) is an upcoming American sci-fi horror film directed by Gerard Johnstone from a screenplay by Akela Cooper and a story by Cooper and James Wan. Produced by Jason Blum and James Wan under the banners of Blumhouse Productions, Atomic Monster Productions and Divide/Conquer, the film stars Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ronny Chieng, and Brian Jordan Alvarez.
The film's official trailer just dropped and it is a wild ride. The 2 minute 27 seconds trailer follows Gemma, a brilliant roboticist at a toy company who uses artificial intelligence to develop the Model 3 Generative Android (M3GAN), a life-like doll programmed to be a child's greatest companion and a parent's greatest ally. After unexpectedly gaining custody of her orphaned niece Katie, Gemma enlists the help of the M3GAN prototype – a decision that has unimaginable consequences.
From the most prolific minds in horror—James Wan, the filmmaker behind the Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring franchises, and Blumhouse, the producer of the Halloween films, The Black Phone and The Invisible Man—comes a fresh new face in terror. 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. M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes a 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, 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. The film also stars Jen Van Epps, Lori Dungey and Stephane Garneau-Monten.
