Overview
- Warner Bros., which unveiled its slate Wednesday at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, set The Flood for August 11, 2028 and the Weapons prequel Gladys for September 8, 2028.
- The Flood is an original science‑fiction thriller that Cregger wrote and will direct, with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment producing alongside New Line and Vertigo.
- Plot details remain under wraps, though one report notes a setting on a distant space station, and the studio is positioning the project as a new genre step for the Barbarian and Weapons filmmaker.
- The Flood was previously set up at Netflix, but the project stalled after the streamer declined a theatrical release, a shift that underscores Warner’s focus on a big‑screen rollout.
- Gladys expands the Weapons universe following Amy Madigan’s Oscar‑winning turn, with Cregger co‑writing with Zach Shields and producing with Roy Lee and Miri Yoon, as he also balances a Resident Evil feature due from Sony in September 2026.
