Zach Cregger and Zach Shields have been set to write the screenplay for the upcoming prequel to the 2024 horror film 'Weapons.' The project, currently operating under the working title 'Gladys,' is in development at New Line Cinema and Warner Bros.
The original film, 'Weapons,' written and directed by Zach Cregger, was a critical and commercial success upon its release. The prequel will expand on that story's universe.
No plot details for 'Gladys' have been officially released. The project is still in the early stages of development, and no casting or production start date has been announced.
Cregger and Shields previously collaborated on the story for the 2022 horror film 'Barbarian,' which Cregger wrote and directed.
