James Wan is thought for spinning franchises from horror ideas — your Noticed movies, the Insidious collection and never forgetting the behemoth that’s the ever-expanding Conjuring franchise. And persevering with the creepy doll theme that haunts a few of these latter films, he is right here producing M3GAN alongside the Blumhouse staff. Try the trailer…

Housebound‘s Gerald Johnstone directs right here from a script by Malignant‘s Akela Cooper.

M3GAN options Allison Williams as good toy-company roboticist Gemma, who has designed M3GAN as the last word toy. She will pay attention and watch and be taught as she turns into buddy and instructor, playmate and protector, for the kid she is bonded to.

When Gemma immediately turns into the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw), Gemma’s not sure and unprepared to be a mum or dad. Below intense stress at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an try and resolve each issues—a call that may have unimaginable penalties…

Yeah, who noticed that coming? Oh, proper. Say it with us, Leon‘s Gary Oldman.

M3GAN shall be in cinemas from 13 January.
