We chat with M3GAN director Gerard Johnstone about the profanity-laced goodness of the UNRAT3D version, why audiences love M3GAN's comedy and horror, and what happened to his scrapped JusticeLeagueDark script:
M3GAN introduced everyone's new favorite killer doll. Gemma, a brilliant toy engineer, unexpectedly becomes the guardian of her recently orphaned niece. Unsure of how to care for Cady, Gemma decides to use her recently finished android prototype M3GAN, who becomes Cady's closest confidant and protector. While this helps Gemma's career and seems to help Cady, M3GAN's actions to protect Cady soon become deadly.
Gerard Johnstone on M3GAN Screen Rant: I loved M3GAN! It's terrifying, and it's hilarious all at the same time. Can you talk to me about the difference between the PG-13 version and the unrated version? I was really disappointed by some of those sequences. So, when we had to go PG 13, we had to re-shoot this scene where Stefan's character gets splattered with blood.
Absolutely. One thing I love about home entertainment releases is that you can go to film school with some of these special features. Can you talk to me about some of the special features on the home release? Gerard Johnstone: I think they're part of the same equation in some way. Horror's timing. It's like, when you construct a skier, it's like you've got to, and I say this, my wife hates horror movies, and so the trick I say to her is, just put your fingers in your ears. And because, the way time a scare is you show two frames of the scare, and then you come at them with the whole fucking orchestra, and the stab, and so that's the same way you approach a joke.
Gerard Johnstone: Well, M3GAN. I don't know why. I just know she'd find a way because she's the most recent version. So she'd have all the most upgrades and she's just really smart. I think M3GAN's an icon and I just think I would love to see her pop up. People have said, do you want to see her in the next Chucky or is Chucky going to come into M3GAN? I'm just put M3GAN in any movie and see what happens. She's a ton of fun.
Switching gears for a second, I'm a huge DC fan. You were once writing Justice League Dark. Now that James Gunn has taken over, is that project still on the table, and what does Justice League Dark look like?
