'Weapons' Prequel Could Be the Next Genre Hit — What If Aunt Gladys Got Her Own Movie?
When deleted scenes grow into something far more twisted.
Aunt Gladys from Weapons, brought to life with deliciously odd magnetism by Amy Madigan, isn’t someone you forget easily, is she? Now Warner Bros. is nudging Zach Cregger toward a prequel — and with a $43 million debut plus a record-breaking August Monday, it’s easy to see why.
From Lost Chapter to Full Story
The twist? A full chapter about Gladys was filmed but cut for length. That 'lost' material could become the backbone of a standalone feature. But part of her appeal is the mystery — will revealing it make her more fascinating, or strip away the very thing that made her so memorable?
Waiting for the Green Light
Cregger won’t get to it straight away. He’s tied up with his Resident Evil reboot for Sony, followed by Henchman and his sci-fi project Flood. Still, with Warner Bros. so keen, it’s hard to believe Aunt Gladys will stay in the shadows for long.
Weapons is now in cinemas nationwide.
