We cannot wait for this.
After writing earlier this week about how hit 2022 killer AI doll horror M3GAN is getting a sequel next year, it been announced that the movie will also be getting a spin-off.
Even more exciting is that has Irish filmmaker Kate Dolan (You Are Not My Mother) has signed on to co-write and direct the project.
The spin-off is titled SOULM8TE and is being described as an erotic thriller with a technological twist.
Said to expand the M3GAN universe, SOULM8TE’s plot synopsis reads: “A man acquires an Artificially Intelligent android to cope with the loss of his recently deceased wife.
“In an attempt to create a truly sentient partner, he inadvertently turns a harmless love-bot into a deadly soulmate.”
Said to be in the mould of ’90s domestic thrillers but with a modern twist, Dolan confirmed her involvement with SOULM8TE in a Twitter post.
So I’m making an erotic thriller with some really cool folks. Thank you queer icon M3GAN for graciously accepting me into your universe this pride month. 💅🏻💃🏻🫦 https://t.co/d5DsF0uqlY
