Interview: M3GAN Director Gerard Johnstone on Viral Success & the Sequel

ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with M3GAN director Gerard Johnstone about the massively popular horror movie.

now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and digitally“M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a lifelike doll that’s programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally,” reads the film’s synopsis. “Designed by Gemma, a brilliant roboticist, M3GAN can listen, watch and learn as it plays the role of friend and teacher, playmate and protector.

I watched the unrated cut and I thought was what was interesting that nothing was really lost by going PG 13. You still get the payoff and sometimes letting your own mind fill in the gorier details, gets the job done, and is just as effective. What was your takeaway from seeing the movie in those two different forms? I thought that was so interesting that both worked so well.

Just incredible. [It] feels like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I had just been to like a Dodgers game at SoFi Stadium a couple of weeks before. I got to go for free because a friend was going and it was like, “Wow.” Like I’m not really a football guy, but being in that stadium was unreal. Then seeing, a month later, some M3GANs walking out in a halftime show … I understood what a big deal that was because I’d been in that stadium. It was incredible.

It also has to be very vindicating that M3GAN 2.0 was already announced immediately after. How exciting is it that this universe is going to continue and these stories will get to still be told through the success of yours?
