Allison Williams talks ‘M3gan,’ motherhood

>>> WELCOME BACK. OUR NEXT GUEST HAS BEEN DAZZLING AUDIENCES FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, IN HIT SHOWS LIKE HBO’S “GIRLS,” AND MOVIES SUCH AS “GET OUT,” YOU NO ALLISON WILLIAMS IS STARRING IN A NEW THRILLER, IT’S CALLED “M3GAN,” PLAYING A ROBOTICS ENGINEER FOR A TOY COMPANY WHO BUILDS A VERY LIFE-LIKE DOLL, A CREATION THAT HAS, SHALL WE SAY, SOME KILLER CONSEQUENCES. TAKE A LOOK. >> DID YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG? >> WELL, IN ORDER TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, YOU NEED TO DEFINE GRANDNESS. DID YOU HURT SOMEONE? >> GOD I HOPE NOT. IF HE’S OFFENDED, WE WOULD

BOTH BE IN A LOT OF TROUBLE. >> “M3GAN,” TELL ME ABOUT LITTLE MEGAN AND NO TO CREEP YOU OUT BUT SHE’S RIGHT BEHIND YOU. THERE’S SIX OF THEM. LOOK AT THEM. YES, JUST STARING AT US. THERE THEY ARE. THIS IS JUST PART OF MY LIFE NOW. BY THE WAY, NO ONE TOLD US THESE LADIES WERE COMING AND THEY SCARED DYLAN DRIER AND SHE IS TRYING TO DO THE WEATHER AND THESE SIX CREEPY “M3GAN” DOLLS ARE ALL STARING AT HER. TELL US ABOUT THE INSPIRATION. >> IT CAME FROM THE BRILLIANT MIND OF JAMES WAND AND THEY

WERE ITERATING ON THE CREEPY DOLL IDEA AND SORT OF MERGING, LIKE IF YOU TOOK ANNABELL AND PUT A LITTLE TERMINATOR IN THERE AND MERGE IT. >> INSIDE A LITTLE CHUCKY. >> EXACTLY. >>

YOU GET ALL OF IT. AND HERE, WE HAVE THIS STORY THAT KIND OF TALKS ABOUT A BUILT AND CREATED FAMILY IN ADDITION TO THE PERILS OF AI TECHNOLOGY, AND WHEN THEY INTERFACE WITH CHILDREN, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK ABOUT ALL THE TIME. >> OKAY, A COUPLE OF THINGS. FIRST OF ALL, YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THE THRILLER GENRE. MORE AND

MORE OFTEN. DID YOU LIKE THESE SCARY MOVIES? BECAUSE I HAVE TO SAY I CAN’T WATCH YOUR MOVIE BECAUSE I’M TOO SCARED. I’M A’ TOO MUCH OF A WIMP. >> A CHILDREN’S FILM OR SOMETHING. >> PLEASE, A ROM COME. >> I FEEL THIS DRAMA IS SO MUCH FUN, I LOVE THE CHARACTERS, I LOVE THE GENRE MIXED UP AND PLAYED WITH, I LOVE THE HUMOR, BECAUSE THE MOVIE IS REALLY FUN AND ALSO SCARY BUT A FUN ONE TO WATCH, ESPECIALLY IN THE THEATER. I WATCHED IT AGAIN LAST NIGHT IN A FULL THEATER. SO IT IS THIS NICE

MIXTURE. DO I LOVE WATCHING THAT? I HAVE TO GET REALLY EMOTIONALLY PREPARED TO WATCH. IT I GET SO SCARED. SUPER EASILY. AND WITHIN TEN MINUTES OF A HOR ALREADY FILM, THE MINUTE I HEAR A SCORE THAT IS SCARY, I’M CHECKING UNDER BEDS AND CHECKING IN CLOSETS. >> AND IN REAL LIFE, NOW YOU ACTUALLY SCARE YOURSELF. >> CONSTANTLY. MY IMAGINATION IMAGINES THAT THINGS WILL HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. >> IS IT SCARY TO MAKE A SCARY MOVIE? >> IT IS LESS SCARY. THIS MOVIE, THE SCARIEST PARTS ARE WHEN I’M WALKING AROUND ON SET AND MEGAN IN REPOSE

AND THAT IS TERRIFYING AND YOU LOOK AT HER LONG ENOUGH, SHE WILL START TALKING. >> SHE IS LOOKING RIGHT NOW. BEFORE WE LEAVE THIS, LOOK AT HER, SHE IS SO CREEPY, AND SHE DANCES. >> YES, WHEN IT CAME OUT, THERE IS A BLIP OF A SUPER WEIRD DANCE THAT SHE DOES. >> I DON’T SEE WHAT IS WEIRD ABOUT THIS AT ALL. >> IT IS AN ACTOR. >> THAT’S SATURDAY NIGHT. >> YES. >> IT HAS REALLY CAUGHT ON. IT IS GETTING CULT LEVEL. WHAT IS THE DANCE ABOUT? >> THE DANCE IS, IT IS TO, YOU HAVE

TO SEE IT IN THE MOVIE TO UNDERSTAND, SHE’S GOT AN OFF-BEAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND LISTEN, I THINK IT IS AN ICONIC MOVE TO BREAK INTO A CHOREOGRAPHED DANCE BEFORE YOU COMMIT AN ACT OF VIOLENCE. >> NOT SINCE THE ELAINE DANCE HAVE WE SEEN IN THIS. >> CONGRATULATIONS. >> I HAVE HEARD FROM YOUR FATHER. WE ALL KNOW YOUR FATHER, I’VE SEEN A COUPLE OF PICTURES. AN ADORABLE LITTLE BOY. >> I’M VERY PROUD. I GET WEIRD AND SHY WHEN I TALK ABOUT IT, BECAUSE IT IS SO NEW AND I’M OBSESSED ABOUT HIM, IT IS EVERYTHING I

THINK ABOUT. >> MOTHERHOOD IT CHANGES EVERYTHING. AND IT IS A CLICHE BUT IT CHANGES. >> AND A COUPLE OF MY FRIENDS MOST OF THE THINGS STAYED THE SAME AND NOW EVERYTHING IS UNRECOGNIZABLE TO ME. IT IS ALL DIFFERENT. I DON’T KNOW HOW PEOPLE DO IT ANY OTHER WAY. >> WELL, CONGRATULATIONS. AND YOU’RE ENGAGED. >> YES. >> SO LOTS TO CELEBRATE. >> LOTS TO CELEBRATE, YES. >> INCLUDING CREEPY “M3GAN.”
