There’s a strong chance that Weapons made you a fan of director Zach Cregger. For you, this is a pretty good time. At CinemaCon, Warner Bros. really doubled down on the filmmaker by announcing two new projects arriving in 2028.
First up, Cregger’s anticipated Weapons spinoff centered on Amy Madigan’s Aunt Gladys is set for September 8th 2028. Gladys will be co-written by Cregger and Zach Shields, but no director is currently attached.
Then there’s The Flood, the mysterious sci-fi horror project that Cregger will direct from his own screenplay. The film had been with Netflix before things fell apart due to Cregger wanting a full theatrical release, which Netflix wasn’t into at all. So it moved to New Line/Warner Bros., which will happily put it in as many theaters as possible given Creeger’s past successes. Steven Spielberg, a real fan of Cregger’s, will produce through Amblin Entertainment.
The Flood sounds kinda cool, too. It reportedly centers on a deep space exploration squad aboard a starship, who pick up a strange, recurring signal from a remote planet. Investigating the signal, they discover a bizarre alien artifact that warps time, reality, and the crew’s minds.
Next up for Cregger is Sony’s Resident Evil reboot arriving this September. [THR]
