According to The Hollywood Reporter, James Wan and Jason Blum will produce M3GAN, with Gerard Johnstone on board to direct.
The script for the film comes from Akela Cooper, who has been a writer and producer on TV shows Luke Cage and The 100, among others.
M3GAN will tell the story of a roboticist at a toy company who uses artificial intelligence to develop a life-like doll called M3GAN that is programmed to bond with her niece.
Johnstone’s previous work includes the 2014 Australian horror film Housebound.
