M3GAN Director Gerard Johnstone on Bringing the Killer Doll to Life

In M3GAN, roboticist Gemma (Allison Williams) becomes the unwitting caretaker of her 8-year-old niece Cady (Violet McGraw) when her sister and brother-in-law are killed in a car accident. Unequipped to deal with a grieving child, Gemma turns her focus towards what she is properly equipped to deal with: robots. She finishes up on her Model 3 Generative Android - M3GAN - an AI doll that links up with a child to learn and teach and become the child’s best friend. Cady, however, becomes too dependent on M3GAN, and M3GAN senses this. M3GAN comes to us from the bonkers mind of James Wan, and the directorial eye of Gerard Johnstone. We spoke with Gerard, who told us about working with M3GAN, making this film self-aware without being too campy, and how he learned to become a horror director with his first feature, Housebound. #M3GAN #MEGAN #GerardJohnstone #JamesWan For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
