Cregger explains why he had to drop a lot of the film’s jokes, while Brolin reveals why he initially hesitated when approached for the film

If there is one thing Zach Cregger learned while writing and directing his new horror movie Weapons, it is that the best laughs will not come from the jokes he writes.

The film follows Cregger’s 2022 solo directorial debut Barbarians, the widely celebrated genre-bending horror. This time, the young director bends even more, spinning a town into chaos when all children but one from the same classroom mysteriously vanish, leaving a trail of questions in their place.
