Zach Cregger took everyone by surprise with Barbarian, and before he gets to go mainstream with his reboot of Resident Evil, he has one movie he’s working on that has horror fans excited.
Weapons is set to come to cinemas this August, and we have a disturbing new trailer for this mystery horror film. Check it out:
Though the premise itself was interesting, everyone is excited by the top talent that the movie was able to gather including the likes of Josh Brolin, Benedict Wong, Julia Garner, and Alden Ehrenreich.
We don’t know what the movie is about exactly, but some are speculating that with the title Weapons and children being the focal point of the story; the film could be looking to say something about school shootings or violence being instilled in young children.
Admittedly, Netflix’s Adolesence kind of tackled the ‘mysogny growing in young males’ problem already, but it’s going to be fascinating to see how Cregger is going to take on the issue with a horror lens. Then again, this is just speculation on the fans’ part; and we don’t know exactly what to expect with Weapons—which is what makes it so exciting.
It also doesn’t hurt that rumors were going around that Jordan Peele fired his agent because he wanted to direct this movie and Cregger got the job instead.
Here’s the official description for the movie:
When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.
Watch out for Weapons when it comes to cinemas on Aug. 8.
