M3GAN The first trailer became a viral social media sensation soon after its release. Although predictions were optimistic, no one could have predicted how well the PG-13 horror flick would do in its opening weekend. Film dashed all hope, doubling predictions to exceed $30 million domestically on a reported $12 million budget. Although the manufacturer James Wan Is Too Superstitious About Confirming, a sequel seems like a done deal. But there’s something else fans of the first film, and horror fans in general, should be pumped about, and it’s a bloody and uncensored version. Akela Cooper, the film’s screenwriter, says she heard it’s already on the books.
Speaking to the Los Angeles Times (via deadline) Hollywood writer stated that the original script was a much gorier affair. However, after the four-foot freak doll went viral and got the meme treatment, Universal decided to release a PG-13 cut, allowing a younger audience to enjoy the film. a decision Cooper says she understands but thinks an unrated version should be released. He said:
No Shadow for Universal, love them, and I understand that once the trailer went viral, teens got into it and you wish they could see it. There must be an unrated version at some point…
I think it’s great that there was a quality horror film release that was suitable for a younger audience. M3GAN This was the first horror movie my ex daughter asked me to watch, so going to show you, universal marketing campaign was effective. i took my daughter to see M3GANHer first theatrical horror movie experience, and she had a blast. M3GAN It was a shared experience shared with my daughter that I would not have been able to do if the film was rated R. Though if I’d seen it without my kid in attendance, I’d probably have preferred something with a bit more teeth. I think a lot of horror fans would agree with that. So an unrated cut would be music to my ears. If Alone Cooper is to be believed then we might get what we want as the writer said he heard an unrated cut was already on Universal’s to-do list. He continued:
I heard it’s on the books. But yeah, it was gorier. His body count in the script was more than in the film.
what sets M3GAN There is a willingness to play humor and camp, in addition to its PG-13 rating, unlike other current horror cinema offerings. screenwriter of the film, who was also responsible for Penning James Wan’s 2021 Gonzo Horror Hit fatal, says he’s happy to lead the charge of bringing the “fun” back to horror. Cooper continued:
I’m glad I can have a hand in bringing back fun horror that doesn’t take itself so seriously. I’ve been reading about more horror movies that are wild, out-of-the-box ideas coming in or being bought. And some of them are original, which is cool! I’m glad I could steer that ship so the studio’s execution was like, ‘Oh! Maybe they really have money in the hills.’
only exists in cooper’s level of fun M3GAN The script undoubtedly had a huge hand in making it a hit at the box office. It’s somewhat of a shame that his original vision had to be cut out for something more visceral. However, I expect a gorier unrated cut to be released sooner then that. M3GAN 2.
