\n[This story contains spoilers from Soulm8te<\/em>.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tFour years ago, Blumhouse struck gold with M3GAN<\/em>, the story of a roboticist who creates an AI-powered doll to serve as a companion for her niece after the child loses her parents. The horror-comedy became a breakout hit with critics and audiences, grossing $180 million worldwide on a $12 million budget.<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, last year\u2019s M3GAN 2.0<\/em> failed to replicate that success. The sequel followed M3GAN being rebuilt to help combat a humanoid military robot, but it ultimately underperformed, grossing $39.1 million worldwide.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat changed the trajectory for Soulm8te<\/em>, a spinoff set in the M3GAN<\/em> universe starring Lily Sullivan as Sara, an AI-powered companion for a grieving widower, David, played by David Rysdahl. But Sara quickly becomes dangerously obsessed. Kate Dolan\u2019s feature was originally expected to follow in the franchise\u2019s footsteps and debut in theaters. But the film was removed from Universal\u2019s theatrical calendar in December, leaving its release plans uncertain.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was a surprise for Dolan and those involved, but last month, the world learned the film would make its way to audiences, with Blumhouse Atomic Monster announcing Soulm8te<\/em> would premiere as a home entertainment release on Aug. 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, Dolan, who wrote the screenplay from a story credited to James Wan, Ingrid Bisu and Rafael Jordan, discusses crafting an erotic thriller spin on the AI doll, her future with Blumhouse Atomic Monster, why she is glad the film is reaching audiences at home, and comparisons to horror hit Obsession<\/em> and the film\u2019s ending.<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\nHow did you balance the erotic thriller tone of this film without losing what audiences love about the M3GAN<\/em> universe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThat tone was the big question of how to balance those things. The reason James and Ingrid wanted to make this was because they love erotic thrillers and they wanted to make something that was true to that era of of filmmaking. And when I first spoke to James, he was referencing a lot of the classic erotic thriller films. And then they were like, OK but it needs to work in the M3GAN<\/em> universe. So that was my biggest task initially \u2014 what\u2019s the tone of this film, and how do we balance that? I watched a lot of films for reference, and films of that era are quite campy and can be \u2014 now looking back \u2014 quite fun in some ways. So I was just like mining what worked in those films and how to balance those tones together.<\/p>\n

\nJames Wan is, of course, a horror maestro. What was it like collaborating with him so closely? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tFor sure. It was something that he really wanted to do, so it was sort of his brainchild on doing this as a film. He\u2019s such a wealth of knowledge in terms of filmmaking. He\u2019s worked at the highest levels, and he obviously knows his genre really well. So it was always great to have him there as someone to bounce things off. And he would always look at set pieces, and he even came to set for a few days at one point when we had quite a heavy week of set pieces and stunts. It was great to have his input and insights because he obviously has done this many times before. <\/p>\n

\nThis film reminded me of the 2013 film Her<\/em> at times, and particularly, Lily\u2019s voice as Sara, which sounded reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson\u2019s performance. Was that movie a touchstone as you were working on this?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tDefinitely. There were a lot of films that me and the cast watched when we were prepping the movie and the HODs as well. We watched a whole host of erotic thrillers and AI-related robot movies, as well as tonal references like [Paul] Verhoeven\u2019s RoboCop.<\/em> But Her<\/em> was definitely one that we watched again. It was interesting watching Her<\/em> how much has evolved since then, and what we can do to try and tell this story in the now. But even when I was starting to write the film, to when we were shooting, to now, how much things progress so quickly is really crazy. Stuff that we were writing that felt like science fiction months ago suddenly is happening, really, and it\u2019s quite bizarre to experience. (Laughs.<\/em>) But yeah, Her <\/em>is a great movie. I think it was really ahead of its time in terms of what it was saying. It\u2019s so interesting to watch it now, because it just feels so strange that that\u2019s real.<\/p>\n

\nThis film went through several changes before ultimately landing as a home entertainment release. Do you feel like Soulm8te<\/em> was impacted by the reception to M3GAN 2.0? <\/em>What explanation were you given for the change in release strategy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, I think M3GAN 2.0 <\/em>was a big surprise for everybody, and it definitely impacted how Soulm8te<\/em> was going to go out into the world. M3GAN 2.0 <\/em>underperformed, and I think that was the main reason. The market is just so unpredictable these days. You don\u2019t really know what\u2019s going to happen or how something\u2019s going to land. It can be very surprising sometimes. <\/p>\n

\nHow did you find out that it was going straight to home entertainment, and did you ever worry that audiences wouldn\u2019t get to see the film?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThere was definitely a moment where I was concerned that we wouldn\u2019t get to finish the film or people wouldn\u2019t get to see it. So, I was really glad when I knew that it would be released at home because, as a filmmaker, when you\u2019re doing your Dolby Atmos mix, you\u2019re listening to big speakers. You\u2019re hearing all the great sounds that you\u2019re trying to do, and you want that, obviously, to be experienced in a theatrical space. But the bottom line is: What audiences buy into is story and character. That\u2019s always been the case. That\u2019s something that can be enjoyed in a theatrical space, or at home. A lot of movies I grew up loving, I watched at home, and I grew up watching on VHS, late night movies that would be on TV. I think it really allows the film to be seen by a really wide audience as well. A lot of people watch movies at home now, and that\u2019s just part of our world and our culture. I\u2019m just delighted that people are going to get to see the movie.<\/p>\n

\nAnd what a time we\u2019re in for horror too \u2014 Original films like Obsession<\/em> and Backrooms<\/em> have exceeded expectations at the box office this year. When the trailer came out for Soulm8te,<\/em> a lot of people were like, \u201cThis is like Obsession<\/em> mixed with Companion<\/em>.\u201d Given that it explores similar themes, do you think it could have found an audience theatrically, post-Obsession<\/em> success?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tYou never know. It\u2019s hard to [tell] \u2014 So, I\u2019m not sure. But it\u2019s funny the comparisons to Obsession <\/em>because obviously this is a film that we made a while ago now, so it\u2019s been a long time. And it\u2019s funny seeing the comments, people being like, \u201cOh, this is just being Obsession.<\/em>\u201d It\u2019s like, \u201cWell, we made this movie a long time ago.\u201d (Laughs<\/em>.) But it\u2019s so amazing to see those movies do well, and I\u2019m such a fan of those films \u2014 I think [Curry Barker and Kane Parsons] are great filmmakers. It\u2019s very exciting. Anything that brings attention to horror and the genre, and a more mainstream audience into that niche, is like a rising tide lifts all boats. It\u2019s a great time for original horror. If people find something in Soulm8te <\/em>that\u2019s like Obsession<\/em> that makes them want to watch it, that\u2019s great.\u200b<\/p>\n

\nIn previous interviews, Jason Blum has been coy about whether M3GAN would appear in SOULM8TE<\/em>, which led to speculation. Now that we know she doesn\u2019t appear, what was the thinking behind that decision?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Read more \u2018Spider-Man: Brand New Day\u2019 Star Jacob Batalon Talks the Ending, Spidey Tracker and the Scene That Shut Down Filming<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tI think it was always going to be standalone \u2014 from the very first conversation I had about it. The team at Blumhouse Atomic Monster wanted this film to be its own thing and not have too much crossover with M3GAN. Also, tonally, the team there wanted to make something that felt a little darker, where they could push for the R rating, be a little more violent, or include sexual content. I felt it was better to do that as its own story, and we could push things a little more.<\/p>\n

\nAre there any Easter eggs from films in the franchise that audiences should keep an eye out for?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, definitely. It was always going to be a standalone movie, but M3GAN 2.0 <\/em>was actually prepping while I was writing the script for Soulm8te,<\/em> and they were going into production close to when we were prepping. It was very abreast of each other, and I was always reading the latest drafts of M3GAN 2.0<\/em> and finding little things that I could put in that a fan of M3GAN <\/em>could find in the movie, and they could link things. So yeah, there\u2019s definitely stuff in there for sure.<\/p>\n

\nCan you tell me what in case myself or anyone else missed it at first?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tNo, you gotta look out for them. They\u2019re very subtle. But we also have a lot of references to different erotic thrillers. There\u2019s the pub in the movie where they do the karaoke at the bar called the White Rabbit, and that was like a Fatal Attraction <\/em>reference. There\u2019s a lot of little small things in there that blink, and you miss them, but they\u2019re there.<\/p>\n

\nThere\u2019s a particularly brutal death scene in the film. Why does Sara to use her sexuality as part of how she manipulates and kills her victims?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThat was always a reference back to the heyday of erotic thrillers in the \u201980s and \u201990s. I think the quote-unquote villain was always a very sexually promiscuous woman who was morally bankrupt, and she would often be using her feminine wiles to trick these men who were these innocent, quote-unquote, victims in this scenario. So, it was always riffing off that. But I always found the sex scenes in the movie, particularly with Sara, to be an abstract symbolism for how we interact with AI and how we\u2019re lured in and we\u2019re seduced in. It\u2019s all symbolizing that \u2014 any scenes where she\u2019s doing that are a manifestation of that idea.<\/p>\n

\nEarly in the film, Sara says she can survive with water on her for up to 30 minutes. After she\u2019s driven off the cliff, should audiences believe she could have survived?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt was always set up that there\u2019s a potential for that, because the thing with AI and tech is that no matter how much you delete something, it always exists in the digital ether and it survives in some way. You don\u2019t know where those things can live on \u2014 and it\u2019s something that we can\u2019t comprehend. It\u2019s not like you can destroy something anymore. There is always a risk that those things exist in the digital space, so it was just playing with that idea as well. I think, as humans, we see things in a very black-and-white way, but I think when it comes to that tech, it\u2019s amorphous and we can\u2019t really get control over it. So, there is a chance that she will survive and live on, and there\u2019s not much we can do about that, really.<\/p>\n

\nAt the end, we see another Soulm8te who looks like Sara but with dark hair introduced to David. Is that the real Sara?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI mean, that\u2019s up to the audience to decide if they want to believe it or not. The cast often asks me that, and I was like, \u201cIt\u2019s up to you to decide if it is or not.\u201d So, I\u2019m not gonna say any more on that. (Laughs.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\nDo David and Aubrey (Claudia Doumit)<\/strong> end up together? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, I was always rooting for them. I know we don\u2019t see a conclusive result for them at the very end. But I feel like they have survived through this situation together, and they have a deep connection, which is clear. So, I\u2019m always rooting for David and Aubrey. I think they make it in the end.<\/p>\n

\nHave James and Jason Blum talk to you about potentially directing another film for Blumhouse Atomic Monster after Soulm8te?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWe haven\u2019t had that conversation yet. At the moment, I have some original ideas that I was writing over the past while. So I\u2019m focused on working on those projects for now. But yeah, I\u2019m always open to the idea of working with those guys again for sure.<\/p>\n

\nIf Soulm8te<\/em> is a hit on VOD, could you imagine doing more with it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI hadn\u2019t thought about it too much, but recently there was this story about the New York school system thinking about having support teachers who were androids. I\u2019d love a movie where Sara\u2019s pretending to be human or pretending to be a teacher at a school, and we could do something fun with that to riff off that news story. But no, I haven\u2019t thought about it too much. I mean, Lily is amazing as Sara, and I would love to see her in that role again.<\/p>\n

\nHow have you navigated building your career as a female director in the horror genre?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI can only speak to my own experience. I tend not to think of myself too much as a female [director]. Because then you start to think about the hurdles that you might face. I\u2019ve always been working on projects that I love and feel connected to; putting as much into them as I possibly can. I\u2019ve been very lucky in my career so far in that I\u2019ve got to do some amazing things \u2014 but it\u2019s tough. There\u2019s a lot of unconscious bias in the industry, and there have been times when I\u2019ve come up against that. There\u2019s more you have to think about as a female filmmaker \u2014 how you come across on set and all of those kinds of things, which can be tricky. It\u2019s sad to see some of the statistics of when those studies come out, and you see how few women are directing studio films, or films that are released theatrically. It\u2019s definitely something that still needs to be talked about and looked at. But there\u2019s so many amazing female filmmakers out there as well, who are making really cool films and doing amazing work. So, I always feel optimistic that the tables will turn and there will be more people getting to make movies.<\/p>\n
