While M3GAN is already considered a scary doll android, actor Allison Williams reveals an even scarier version used for filming.
M3GAN star Allison Williams describes a much scarier alternate version of the titular doll that didn't make it into the movie. An internet sensation before it was even released, M3GAN has dominated the box office in its opening weekend due in large part to the hype built up on social media prior to the film's debut.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Williams discusses her reaction to first seeing M3GAN, stating that she was immediately scared of the petite, eerie doll. In addition, the actor reveals that there were multiple versions of M3GAN created for the film, with one, in particular, standing out as the most terrifying to witness because it was animatronic.
“One of the versions of her was animatronic, and because she blinks, her eyes get stuck sometimes, so they have to like, put…there’s someone putting a lubricant on her eyeball, and I’m like, ‘I know she’s not real. I know she’s not real, but she is talking and blinking and her face is moving, and you’re putting something on her eyeball and it just looks weird.
However, M3GAN's purpose is to offer human-like companionship and provide comfort to her charges, and an animatronic version would have made her feel more like a robot than a human, making it harder for her to deliver on her key function. In addition, a major reason that M3GAN gained so much hype before its release was a dance sequence in the trailer, in which M3GAN performs bizarre and fluid choreography before hoisting a murder weapon and chasing her prey.
Why A Non-Animatronic M3GAN Was Better & More Terrifying While M3GAN was still operated by a team of puppeteers and an animatronic version was used for close-up shots, the doll came to life with a painstaking process that involved CGI. A real-life stand-in, Aimee Donald, was also needed for the dance sequence and other moments that required more of a range of motion.
