Weapons: The New Trailer Asks "Are You Watching?"
Warner Bros. dropped a new trailer for Zach Cregger's new film, Weapons, and it's a miracle; it shows off a ton of new footage without spoiling the entire movie.
Article Summary
- Warner Bros. releases new Weapons trailer showing tons of footage without spoiling the horror thriller
- Zach Cregger follows up Barbarian with another mysterious film about children mysteriously vanishing
- Trailer teases creative kills and weird deaths while keeping the main plot under wraps
- Weapons stars Josh Brolin and Julia Garner, hitting theaters August 8, 2025
August is going to be a fun month at the movies. It's a month with a wide variety of films from different studios and different genres, all coming out at a time when there usually isn't anything. One film that should absolutely be on your radar is Weapons, the new film from Barbarian director Zach Cregger. Barbarian was fantastic and really managed to take audiences by surprise, and it seems that Warner Bros. is realizing that the surprise was half of the reason that the film worked and did as well as it did. Or we can hope that is a lesson they learned because the second trailer for Weapons is here, and it has a ton of new footage, but it still isn't telling us much about what's going on. The one big story detail that we didn't know is that one child didn't run off into the night with their classmates, which does add a different angle to the entire thing. The trailer also teases that "a lot of people die in really weird ways in this story," so get ready for some creative kills.
