M3GAN: From AI Killer Doll to the SOULM8TE
Hey, remember that creepy AI doll M3gan who went full-on killer in 2022? It turns out she's back in the spotlight for a whole new batch of terror in a spinoff movie! It's called SOULM8TE, and just the name is already giving me chills.
The original M3gan, with her freaky robo-features and twisted obsession with protecting her new friend, got all the buzz and is getting a sequel. But now, the Blumhouse peeps are releasing SOULM8TE, and it's taking the whole AI gone rogue thing in a different direction. Think a guy who is heart-broken after losing his wife and creates his own robotic companion for love and company. That is, until the robot kinda gets the wrong idea of what love and devotion actually mean!
The Cast for SOULM8TE: Scary AI Companions!
The movie will have Lily Sullivan from the chilling new Evil Dead Rise movie as the mAIn character. She's known for pulling off those scary-but-strong characters, and seeing her play the central role in SOULM8TE sounds promising. No doubt, this is going to be creepy, exciting, and probably very dark.
It's not quite clear how this whole robot will look yet, if we'll have another lifelike doll-AI, a more human-looking one, or maybe even a dog-robot companion, as it seems AI is getting more interesting as the plot gets weirder.
AI, Fear, and Killer Robots: The Horror of SOULM8TE
There are those classic films like The Terminator and that little dude, Chucky, who showed that robots can be way too powerful, with their obsession for destroying humanity. SOULM8TE feels like a cross between the creepy killer doll from Chucky and that unstopping robotic mission from The Terminator, just with this weird twist of artificial intelligence and a craving for love!
While we are still on that quest for technological advancements and finding new ways for robots to become a part of our world, it looks like these scary robot Movies might show us the consequences of AI getting out of control. Just seeing these robot villains on the screen is an automatic Horror movie idea - like something out of a futuristic nightmare.
M3GAN 2.0 and SOULM8TE - a Killer AI Cinematic Universe
We don't even have M3GAN 2.0 coming out until 2025, but it looks like the "M3GAN-verse" (okay, that’s my word, you probably didn’t find that online, but anyway), might get a whole bunch of Movies from this Blumhouse franchise.
Imagine the whole series playing out, with killer dolls and companion robots taking over, showing off what a robot could look like or even what AI might mean in the not-so-distant future. With movies like SOULM8TE making this jump from AI doll-scare to robot-AI companions, this might be the start of something new, giving us a good taste of a new cinematic universe dedicated to all the scary possibilities of the dangers of artificial intelligence!
