      > Zach Cregger and Zach Shields will write the screenplay for the upcoming prequel to the critically acclaimed horror hit ‘Weapons.’ **The project’s current working title is ‘Gladys.’**

      > Zach Shields most recently worked on Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire for Warner Bros. and Legendary. Prior to that, he co‑wrote Godzilla vs. Kong, Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Krampus for Universal with Michael Dougherty.

      What are the other instances of an actor reprising their Oscar-winning role?

      Brad Pitt playing Cliff Booth again and Joaquin Phoenix playing Joker again come to mind.

      It’s a fun cool horror movie, not Schindler’s List. Bring on the prequel!

      Love Cregger’s work and loved Weapons but please…

      I believe in Zach Cregger. He said he had this idea before Weapons even came out, so if he’s passionate about it, I have some faith in it.

      How are people posting gifs & pics in these comments now?

      Edit: The option ain’t there, there’s nothing unlike other subs that allow it.

      I loved Weapons but I really don’t want a prequel.

      If anything, I think they over explained things with Gladys in the movie

      I LOVED Weapons, it was my favorite film of last year. Don’t want or need this. I want more original movies, like what Weapons was last year. Not sequels and prequels and remakes.

      I mean most of the audience and fans are asking for it. She hit it out of the park and got a deserved Oscar for this role so why not!

      I definitely would love to see a Gladys origin movie taking place during the late 1800s (if the consumption line meant that’s where she originated from). You all want original movies and this is one!

      These comments are braindead. Id gladly watch a Gladys film, especially since Cregger had the idea well before Weapons was finished.

      Unnecessary prequel co-written by a guy who writes CGI kaiju slop. I dunno man, Cregger has a longer leash for me than almost anyone in Hollywood, but this feels totally misguided.

      I loved loved loved Barbarian and thought Weapons was okay, so this is kinda disappointing.

    27. SwiftSurfer365 on

      As someone who was disappointed with Weapons, this doesn’t excite me at all and I don’t care for a prequel.

      I’ll probably skip it.

      Ahhh yes, that’s what always makes the antagonist of a horror/thriller scarier – explaining every fucking detail of their life and methods

      I don’t know. It really didn’t work for Furiosa doing a prequel to an iconic female protagonist with a much younger actress just won’t sit to well with the GP. If it’s a prequel that Amy can be in I’m all for it.

      Never understood the interest in prequels.

      I don’t want to see wha happened before; I want to see what happens next!

    33. TheTelekinetic on

      Hopefully it’s directed by Zack Snyder and stars Zach Woods and Zach Galifianakis

      It’s interesting as Madigan said Cregger gave her two options for Gladys: A woman who turned to black magic to keep her youth or an inhuman creature acting the way it thought a human did. She doesn’t say which one she used.

      I’d love to see Madigan enjoy the part, just worry as part of the mystique is not knowing enough about her.
