After her turns in Jordan Peele's Get Out and Netflix's The Perfection, Allison Williams is reuniting with Blumhouse to star in and executive produce the upcoming tech horror thriller M3GAN, Deadline reports.
In the film, Williams plays 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.
Akela Cooper (Malignant, The Nun 2) wrote the script that is based on a story by James Wan, and Gerard Johnstone (Housebound) will direct the film.
Jason Blum and James Wan are producing the thriller.
Michael Clear, of Wan’s Atomic Monster banner, will executive produce with Judson Scott shepherding for the company. Blumhouse’s Ryan Turek will executive produce. Williams will also serve as an executive producer.
