The first full-length trailer for Weapons, a new horror film from Barbarian director Zach Cregger, has been released, unveiling a chilling tale about a group of missing schoolchildren.
The film follows the mysterious disappearance of an entire class of students from a small Florida town, with the children vanishing in the middle of the night, only to leave behind eerie questions. In the trailer, a young girl narrates the unsettling events: “Every other class had all their kids, but Mrs. Gandy’s room was totally empty. And do you know why? Because the night before, at 2:17 in the morning, every kid woke up, got out of bed, walked downstairs and into the dark. And they never came back.”
Julia Garner stars as Mrs. Gandy, the teacher who becomes the prime suspect when her class is found missing. Josh Brolin plays Matthew, the father of one of the missing students, while Alden Ehrenreich portrays a local police officer, and Benedict Wong plays an administrator at the elementary school where the disappearances took place. Additional cast members include Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, and others.
Cregger, who gained attention for his hit film Barbarian in 2022, wrote and directed Weapons, which is produced by Cregger’s producing team, including Roy Lee and Miri Yoon of Vertigo, and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. The film is set for theatrical release on August 8, 2025, by Warner Bros.
In a recent interview, Cregger reflected on the similarities between horror and comedy, explaining that the two genres share timing and tone dynamics. He also noted that filmmaker Jordan Peele offered him valuable advice on navigating the challenges of filmmaking.
