Borys Kit, Hollywood Reporter:
Zach Cregger is reuniting with Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group’s New Line division for his next original feature.
Cregger, who directed last year’s acclaimed Oscar-winning horror hit Weapons for the company, has written, and will direct, The Flood, an original sci-fi thriller on which the studio is moving at full speed, scheduling an Aug. 11, 2028 release date.
The project reunites him with his Weapons producers Roy Lee and Miri Yoon of Vertigo Entertainment and interestingly has him working with avowed Cregger fan Steven Spielberg. The latter’s Amblin Entertainment is also producing Flood.
Another bit of news rushing out of Cinemacon.
I’m all for more new, original sci-fi concepts. Who would’ve figured a guy from The Whitest Kids U’Know would be bringing it with Spielberg?
Note to self: Comedy people to horror filmmaking — Edgar Wright, Jordan Peele, Zach Cregger….maybe there’s a longer blog there?
