A problem shared is a problem halved, and in the case of Zach Cregger's nail-biting script for Weapons, he turned to a comedy icon and Emmy-nominated actor for some words of wisdom. The result led to one of the smartest moves in his recent horror movie, which fleshed out one of its key characters in a story about missing kids and unwanted visits from aunts you'd rather not be related to.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Cregger revealed that he had a sit-down with Barry co-creator, Bill Hader, who chimed in with a suggestion regarding Alex (Cary Christopher), the only class member who didn't go missing after seventeen students disappeared one night.
