The killer doll ‘M3GAN’ will have a sequel, and an uncensored version with more blood

In case anyone doubted it, M3GAN, the latest in terrifying and murderous dolls, will have a sequel. And if it works, naturally, a lucrative new franchise. Despite the fact that its trailer has already raised expectations among lovers of the genreand the dance scene with the protagonist doll, was one of the sensations of Tik Tok, the collection obtained during its first weekend was enough for those responsible to confirm that there is a second installment in preparation.

It is not for less considering that it has only cost 12 million dollars, plus promotional expenses, and in less than a week it has raised more than 45 globally30.2 of them in his first weekend in the United States.

has directed it gerard johnstone (Housebound), and among the producers there are two masters of the genre such as james wanalso author of the original story, and Jason Blum through his production company, Blunhouse. And the definitive confirmation has come through the declarations of Akela Cooperthe screenwriter of the film, and also of Evil one of James Wan, in statements collected through Deadline.

However, the most curious news is that the original film released will also have an “uncensored” version with more bloodmore gore, as was missing by many fans of the genre who considered that it falls quite short in this aspect compared to other sagas such as those of chucky either saw.

Cooper herself has explained, this time in an article published by Los Angeles Timesthan the original script that he had prepared contained a higher number of deathsbut Universal, involved in the project as a distributor and a new ally of both Blumhouse and Atomic Monster (James Wan’s production company), preferred a lighter version to be shot, even adding new scenes in post-production, with the aim of obtaining the PG-13 rating in the United States and thus allowing minors to enter and, therefore, trying to reach a larger audience. Especially considering that the trailers released seemed to have caused a sensation among the younger audience.

“No Shades for Universal, I love them, and I understand that once the trailer went viral, teens got involved and you want them to be able to see it. There should be an uncensored version at some point…I heard it’s in the plans. But yeah, (the original script) was much gorier. His body count in the script was higher than in the movie.”the screenwriter has commented on an uncensored version that, if carried out, would also very likely entail shooting a new scene for the occasion with which to round off the result of this more than possible final cut.
