Hitting theaters this weekend, M3GAN is already a camp horror delight. Although the film is only rated PG-13, writer Akela Cooper says that an unrated version could be released in the future. 'There should be an unrated version at some point.'
M3GAN writer Akela Cooper comments on a possible unrated version being released. The sci-fi horror film, which sees the titular artificially intelligent doll develop self-awareness and become hostile, was written by Malignant's Cooper, directed by Housebound's Gerard Johnstone, and produced by James Wan and Jason Blum. Ahead of M3GAN's theatrical release, critics have been praising the film for embracing campiness while also delivering some truly bone-chilling scenes.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY During a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Cooper commented on a possible unrated version of M3GAN being released. The Malignant and M3GAN screenwriter says the horror film's gore and body count were toned down significantly for the final cut, which is rated PG-13, and that an unrated version is in consideration and will likely be released in the future.
"No shade to Universal, love them, and I understand that once the trailer went viral, teenagers got involved and you want them to be able to see it. There should be an unrated version at some point. ... I heard it is on the books. But yes, it was way gorier. Her body count in the script was higher than in the movie.
Director Gerard Johnstone previously addressed the movie's PG-13 rating, corroborating the fact it was decided afterward and required reshoots, which he embraced because he thinks they ended up improving the movie. Producers James Wan and Jason Blum have also defended M3GAN's PG-13 rating, saying it opens the film up to a new demographic by allowing teenagers to see it in theaters while not impacting the overall quality of the scares.
While the lack of blood and gore may be a disappointment, M3GAN's writer, director, and producers are all on the record defending its PG-13 rating and urging audiences to see the film in theaters as is. So far, the decision seems to have paid off, with the campy horror holding an honorable 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.
