Pedro Pascal Starring in New Horror Flick 'WEAPONS' from ‘Barbarian’ Director Zach Cregger

Another new horror film on the way that we’re pretty stoked to hear about is one coming from New Line Cinema. New Line Cinema has acquired the original screenplay Weapons from writer/director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), and THR reports that Pedro Pascal (“The Last of Us”) will star.

Moving full speed ahead toward a theatrical release, production is anticipated to commence later this year. The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.

The Hollywood Reporter teased, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”

Richard Brener, President and Chief Creative Officer, New Line Cinema, stated, “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.”

Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
