Following her memorable supporting role in Jordan Peele's Get Out, Allison Williams is set to reteam with Blumhouse for a new sci-fi horror flick from Housebound director Gerard Johnstone, M3GAN.

The former Girls actress will star as 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.

We're going to go ahead and assume those unimaginable consequences involve M3GAN malfunctioning and going on a killing spree. The premise sounds a little too close to Child's Play, but Johnstone did deliver a highly entertaining little chiller with Housebound, and there might well be more to the plot than the synopsis suggests.

Akela Cooper (Malignant, The Nun 2, Luke Cage) penned the script from an original story by Aquaman director James Wan. Jason Blum and Wan are producing the movie along with Michael Clear of Wan’s Atomic Monster banner.

No word on when production is expected to commence or a tentative release date.

What do you guys make of this? Does M3GAN sound like it has potential? Let us know in the comments.

"The premise sounds a little too close to Child's Play"......I think there might be a lawsuit sometime in the near future if they aren't careful. Either way, probably a pass.

Sci-fi horror is hard to get right.

Alien
The Thing
Event Horizon

Are probably the best.

@marvel72 - Event Horizon is a solid movie with fantastic ideas and designs, but its not in the same group as Alien and The Thing.
marvel72
marvel72 - 10/7/2020, 2:37 PM
@HeavyMetal4Life - it's got some good jumpy scenes and it's pretty messed up in places.

Can you think of any other good sci-fi horror movies.
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 10/7/2020, 3:05 PM
@marvel72 - I would put Pandorum in the same group as Event Horizon. Other movies such as The Terminator, Predator, Pitch Black, Aliens etc. kind of cross over into the sci-fi horror action category.

Best sci-fi horror movie I saw recently I think was Color Out of Space.

@marvel72 - don’t you dare leave Annihilation off that list

@PicolasCage - Haven't seen it so I didn't add it to my list.

@marvel72 - you should watch it when you get a chance, great [frick]ing movie

@HeavyMetal4Life - Yeah I guess, Terminator and Predator are brilliant, pitch black was cool as well.
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 10/7/2020, 3:22 PM
@PicolasCage - personally was not a fan of Annihilation, has some cool concepts but the science and scientists are mindbogglingly dumb, and the movie tries too hard to be artsy and something unique.

Best scene in the movie was the bear.

@marvel72 - check out Color Out of Space if you haven't seen it. Also, I'd consider A Quiet Place to be a pretty good sci-fi horror movie.

@PicolasCage - I agree that Annihilation belongs there

So that Black Mirror episode kinda? Sounds boring. Could be good schlock though.

@BlackBeltJones - idk, Blumhouse is such a mixed bag with their schlock. I was kind of excited about Black Box and The Lie this week. Both fell so flat.

She's amazing, especially in Get Out. I feel like she'd make a great Poison Ivy or Mystique.
