Zach Cregger’s next horror film 'Weapons' is on the fast track for theatrical release following the wild success of Barbarian.
New Line Cinema has announced that they have acquired the screenplay for Weapons, the next project from the team behind 2022's award-winning horror thriller film Barbarian. With the acquisition, the project is set to be fast-tracked for a theatrical release with production expected to start later this year.
Reports state that Universal, Netflix, and Sony/TriStar were in the mix, but New Line's guarantee of a theatrical release is what eventually saw them win out in the end. The project comes from writer-director Zach Cregger, who will also serve as a producer on the project alongside the producing team behind Barbarian. This team includes Roy Lee of Vertigo as well as J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Along with the announcement of New Line acquiring the project was a statement from Richard Brener, President and Chief Creative Officer at New Line Cinema. He said: “Zach proved with Barbarian that he can create a visceral theatrical experience for audiences and that he commands every tool in the filmmaker toolbelt. We couldn’t be happier that he, Roy and Miri, and J.D. and Rafi chose New Line to be the home of his next film, and hope it is the first of many to come.
