We chat with M3GAN director Gerard Johnstone opens up about collaborating with Blumhouse & how much time they had to work on the already-iconic killer doll dance:
Forget Annabelle, Blumhouse is taking killer dolls to the next level in M3GAN. The upcoming horror film, directed by Gerard Johnstone and produced by James Wan and Jason Blum, focuses on an android designed to be on the cutting edge of children's entertainment. M3GAN combines chilling scares with laugh-out-loud moments in a manner befitting its screenwriter Akela Cooper's style, seeing as she previously wrote Wan's Malignant as well.
Gerard Johnstone: No, absolutely not. It was awesome. I was a massive fan of James when I was making my first horror film. His movies were stacked up on the desk so I could figure out how he did things, because there's so much that [goes] into creating horror that a lot of people don't know about it. I certainly didn't know about it. So, that was great to have his endorsement really, and that he thought of me for this.
Gerard Johnstone: What was really funny is these movies are made on a very tight schedule. We had about five dance sequences, and they were all great. This was really just the first one we could really do, and it's just been amazing to see how that was enough. Thank God I didn't change it. Thank God I didn't do something else, because it just felt like it was the perfect level of something that someone could do themselves at home, apart from the flip.
