Zach Cregger, the director of horror hit Barbarian, is back this summer with new movie Weapons, which has been compared to Magnolia and described as an epic tale that’s both unconventionally structured and “really fucked up” (Cregger’s own words).
While you wait, check out the new official poster for Weapons below. It’s as cryptic as the film’s trailers have been, teasing that even “the most harmless things can hurt you.”
In Weapons, “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.” Dive deeper into the mystery on MaybrookMissing.com.
“This is a true story that happened right here in my town. A lot of people die in a lot of really weird ways in this story. And you’re not gonna find it in the newspaper.”
The cast for Cregger’s new film includes Josh Brolin (Dune 2), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), Alden Ehrenreich (Cocaine Bear), Benedict Wong (3 Body Problem), Amy Madigan (Antlers), Austin Abrams (Euphoria), and Cary Christopher (Days of Our Lives).
New Line Cinema Presents a Subconscious/Vertigo Entertainment/Boulderlight Pictures Production, a Zach Cregger Film, Weapons. It will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, and released in theaters and IMAX nationwide on August 8, 2025, and internationally in August.
