We all knew that whatever director/writer Zack Cregger decided to do a follow-up to Barbarian would be buckwild, and it seems the rest of Hollywood did too, if the bidding war for Weapons was anything to go by. Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema won, and this movie was recently moved up to August, so we will get to see it sooner. Warner Bros. dropped some footage during CinemaCon that was a whole lot of Absolutely Not and has been doing some great viral marketing in the weeks since. We have a site and everything, we love it. They dropped the official trailer today, which appears to be mostly the trailer we saw at CinemaCon minus a few Absolutely Not moments, a poster, and some images. The hype for this one is already out of this world, and for an original horror movie, and with the run Sinners is having? Horror fans are eating well.
