Weapons: Aunt Gladys Prequel Being Explored At New Line

It is a truth universally acknowledged that everyone is talking about Weapons right now. Social media is ablaze with discourse around Zach Cregger's newest nightmare, the box office has lit up to the tune of $70 million in the opening weekend alone for the missing children mystery, and critics — including our very own John Nugent — are raving about the 'huge accomplishment' the movie represents. It's all attention that hasn't gone unnoticed at New Line, where — according to THR — conversations about a Weapons prequel are already underway.

Per THR 's reporting, Warner Bros. and New Line are already speaking with Cregger about the possibility of making a movie set before the events of Weapons , centring around the mysterious arrival of Amy Madigan's Aunt Gladys in Maybrook.
