Akela Cooper, the screenwriter for M3GAN, has spoken out about how the killer doll from the horror movie has already been called a queer icon.
During an interview with SFX Magazine, Cooper talked about how the LGBT community has embraced M3GAN. She stated: “I actually questioned one of my homosexual male friends about it and he said this set-up is really found family, where this little girl has lost her family and she needs to go live with her aunt. “Then, this doll is introduced into the mix. The concept of finding family is one that many members of the homosexual community can relate to.”
Cooper cited her friend’s praise of the producers for picking a character with a compelling emotional core that appealed to members of the LGBTQ+ community. “The dancing scene follows after that. And it’s much better because it’s like, “Yes! Yes to all of this!” “Cooper said. Therefore, I like to believe that the emotional component draws listeners in first, and M3GAN’s amazing dancing routines then clinch the deal.
Cooper wrote the script and James Wan and Cooper collaborated on the story for the science fiction horror movie M3GAN, which is directed by Gerard Johnstone. The robotics expert Gemma (Allison Williams) in the horror movie creates an AI doll as a present for her recently orphaned niece Cady (Violet McGraw). The doll gradually develops a personality of its own and is aggressive in an effort to defend Cady from whomever she perceives as a threat.
M3GAN has received almost unanimous praise for its director, writing, and actor performances, earning a Rotten Tomatoes score of 95%. The movie is expected to have the most fantastic opening weekend since Avatar: The Way of Water, according to current projections. In addition, M3GAN’s innovative writing and directing were complimented by Caitlin Chappell, who said: “M3GAN embraces dark comedy and camp for a sci-fi horror mashup that offers an iconic horror villain and an engaging investigation of mankind.“
In a recent interview with CBR, the director of M3GAN Johnstone discussed how he went about making a movie that successfully combined comedy and horror within the context of a family drama. “You know, comedy usually seems to squeak in while I’m doing anything. Before coming my way, [M3GAN] may have been a little straighter, “Johnstone said. “I adore movies that can be so many different things. Sam Raimi, Wes Craven, and other filmmakers who were known for incorporating a variety of moods into their work are my role models in the horror genre. Thus, I’m actually simply imitating those men “he said Currently showing in cinemas is M3GAN.
