Filmmaker Zach Cregger‘s directorial debut was the sex comedy Miss March, but he’s most memorable for his horror flicks. He provided twists and turns with his horror film Barbarian and worked as co-producer in the sci-fi thriller Companion. His return as director follows the Josh Brolin-led horror film Weapons with its trailer wowing CinemaCon, calling it “batshit insane.”
What we knew so far about Weapons was that New Line Cinema would nab Zach Cregger’s horror movie. Pedro Pascal originally planned to lead until his commitments to The Fantastic Four: First Steps made him pull out. Josh Brolin ended up replacing him. More that will be featured in the ensemble cast includes Ozark’s Julia Garner, Solo’s Alden Ehrenreich, 3 Body Problem’s Benedict Wong, and more.
While Weapons’ original release date was January 2026, the upcoming horror film moved up to August of this year. Its distributor, Warner Bros., clearly liked what they saw to move up the upcoming movie. With no trailer brought to the public just yet, Variety confirmed that a disturbing look premiered at this year’s CinemaCon that both wowed and freaked out those at the Las Vegas venue.
What was shown in the CinemaCon Weapons trailer?
As shown at CinemaCon, Julia Garner will be playing an elementary school teacher. She makes a startling discovery to find her entire first-period class disappeared the night before.
“Mrs. Gandy’s room was totally empty,” said the voiceover of a mysterious little girl in the trailer. “Because the night before, at 2:17 a.m., every kid woke up, got out of bed, walked downstairs and into the dark and they never came back.”
With Julia Garner’s character as the source of anger during this strange occurrence, Josh Brolin’s character adds to it. In the trailer, he appears as a depressed parent demanding answers from the schoolteacher about his missing daughter.
However, these missing kids aren’t completely missing to the schoolteacher. They appear before her as unsettling apparitions, displaying hollow eye sockets and chilling smiles. The footage showed the seemingly possessed children sleepingwalking merrily with a clown-looking female hiding deep in the woods at the trailer’s end.
New Line Cinema chief Richard Brener described Weapons as “intriguing and unpredictable, with a nice helping of batshit insane.” As Zach Cregger depicted his project as a movie that “unravels and reinvents” as it goes on, it looks like there will be plenty of horrifying twists in store, just like his previous works.
Prepare for some scares this summer by watching Weapons in theaters on August 8th.
