Because the horror genre doesn't have a great track record at the Academy Awards, the world was delivered a special shock at the start of the Oscars ceremony last month. Competing in a super tough category, Amy Madigan took home the Best Supporting Actress prize for her villainous work as Aunt Gladys in Weapons, and while it was definitely a surprise, it was also well-deserved. It was an awesome win, and the victory lap is taking the form of further development for the upcoming prequel movie that Madigan will lead.
We first heard rumblings about a Weapons prequel last fall in the aftermath of the 2025's movie's blockbuster success, and today, Deadline is reporting that Zach Cregger has found a collaborator on the project. While the director is currently working on the new Resident Evil movie slated to be released this coming September, he is going to be writing the script for the Aunt Gladys film with screenwriter Zach Shields.
