‘M3GAN’ Producers Defend the Horror Movie’s PG-13 Rating

The new movie MEGAN is sure to be a cult hit thanks to all of the buzz surrounding the trailer and fans are probably going to be surprised to find out it’s not rated R.

James Wan and Jason Blum, the movie’s producers, are opening up about the decision to make a PG-13 horror movie.

In M3GAN, the title character is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to. When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.

So, why is it rated PG-13?

“Some of the scariest movies of all time are PG-13, so I don’t put too much stock in the bellyaching. Go see the movie, and then tell me about it,” Jason told THR.

James added, “Listen, I’ve done PG-13 films and I’ve done R-rated films. So I think it’s about whatever is most suitable for the film, and even though M3GAN is a scary movie, teenagers will really dig this. They’ll really like it, and I think it will speak to them in a big way.”

Jason concluded, “Yes, that’s right. We wanted teenagers to be able to see the movie, ultimately.”

The creators of the movie have addressed the doll going viral with dancing memes.
