Pedro Pascal continues to conquer filmmakers
The film’s plot is being kept under wraps, but it’s described as an interlocking horror epic of several stories that is, in tone, along the lines of Magnolia, the star-studded 1999 showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.
Weapons was the subject of an intense bidding war in January, as Hollywood studios and streamers battled for the opportunity to work with Cregger, whose Barbarian, produced for just $4.5 million, became a favorite not only with audiences and critics, but also from filmmakers and fellow filmmakers.
New Line ultimately won the auction, making a deal rarely seen in modern times that included, among other stipulations, a guaranteed green light and guaranteed theatrical release.
