“Weapons” breakout character Aunt Gladys’ story continues with a prequel movie, with Zach Shields (“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”) tapped to co-write the screenplay alongside filmmaker Zach Cregger. “Gladys” is the working title for the New Line and Warner Bros. movie.
The prequel has been in the works for months following the horror movie’s breakout box office and critical success. “Weapons” grossed a staggering $270 million worldwide and earned star Amy Madigan the best supporting actress Oscar for her performance as the devilishly deranged character.
Cregger and Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee and Miri Yoon are returning to produce the new movie.
