PopHorror Let's Get Scared
She’s baaaaack! The orignal M3GAN was a huge box office success. Did you know it’s one of the Top 40 highest grossing horror films of all time? It is! So it was a given we’d get a sequel. What we are getting, though, looks like an interesting new direction for the franchise. M3GAN 2.0! Pretty exciting!
Read on for the details!
Synopsis
Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules.
Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno; Ahsoka, Pacific Rim: Uprising), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around.
With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I icon is about to meet her match.
Here’s a look at the official trailer!
Some Terminator 2 type vibes here. We dig it. It’s great that the bulk of the creative team and cast are back. The original was a lot of fun, so we are looking forward to giving this one a go!
M3GAN 2.0 will release only in theaters June 27 from Universal and Blumhouse.
