James Wan & Jason Blum Teaming For Killer Doll Movie M3GAN

Jason Blum is teaming up with James Wan for a new techno horror-thriller about killer dolls, titled M3GAN. THR reports that Blum and Wan will produce the film, with Gerard Johnstone directing from a script by Akela Cooper (American Horror Story, Luke Cage).

According to the site, the film is about “a brilliant toy company roboticist who uses artificial intelligence to develop M3GAN, a life-like doll programmed to emotionally bond with her newly orphaned niece. But when the doll’s programming works too well, she becomes overprotective of her new friend…with terrifying results.”

“I had such a great time working together with Jason on Insidious, a film that did a lot of good for both of us,” Wan said. “I don’t forget where I started from and I’m grateful and appreciative of Jason. We’ve been looking for something to collaborate on again since.”

Production kicks off this fall on the film.
