M3GAN (Megan) is a highly anticipated horror movie that is all set to release in theaters in the United States on January 6, 2023. James Wan and Akela Cooper have served as writers for the movie, while Gerard Johnstone has served as the director.
The official synopsis for the upcoming movie, released by Universal Pictures, reads:
"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."
The official synopsis further reads:
"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."
