Overview

• The first teaser for 'Weapons' has been released, accompanied by a viral website, MaybrookMissing.com, featuring in-universe news stories tied to the film's plot.
• Julia Garner and Josh Brolin lead the cast as a teacher and a grieving father, respectively, in the fictional town of Maybrook, Pennsylvania, where 17 children vanish simultaneously at 2:17 a.m.
• Director Zach Cregger describes the film as a 'horror epic' with a nonlinear, twist-filled narrative that evolves far beyond its initial premise.
• 'Weapons' draws from Cregger’s personal tragedy, with parts of the film described as 'legitimately autobiographical,' adding emotional depth to the story.
• The film, set for theatrical release on August 8, 2025, is positioned as a more ambitious and expansive project than Cregger's breakout hit 'Barbarian.'
