New Line Cinema Fast Tracks "Weapons" From Writer/Director/Producer Zach Cregger and Producers Roy Lee, J.D. Lifshitz, Raphael Margules and Miri Yoon

New Line Cinema

The project teams the seminal horror house with the filmmakers behind 2022s critically acclaimed breakout hit Barbarian

(Burbank, CA) - New Line Cinema has acquired the original screenplay Weapons from the filmmaking team behind the award-winning horror thriller Barbarian. Moving full speed ahead toward a theatrical release, production is anticipated to commence later this year. The project 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. Vertigos Miri Yoon also produces.

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 couldnt 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.

Creggers debut solo outing as a writer/director, Barbarian, premiered at San Diego Comic-Con, igniting critical raves and widespread buzz before its September 2022 theatrical bow. The stunning chiller topped the domestic box office on its opening weekend with $10.5 million, more than double its production budget of $4.5 million, and ultimately took in more than $45 million worldwide.

Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe The Whitest Kids UKnow, which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning groups self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallons NBC series Guys with Kids and the TBS hit series Wrecked, and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series About a Boy. Cregger is repped by CAA, Artists First, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman Wertheimer Mandelbaum Morris Bernstein Trattner & Klein.

Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
