Josh Brolin, Julia Garner Star in Upcoming Horror Film Weapons

Josh Brolin and Julia Garner star in the upcoming horror thriller "Weapons," directed by Zach Cregger, which focuses on the mysterious disappearance of 17 out of 18 children from a classroom. Despite their characters' on-screen conflicts, Brolin and Garner developed a strong off-screen bond during filming, frequently spending time together, an unusual occurrence for both actors. Julia Garner plays Justine Gandy, a teacher who awakens to the unsettling event, while Brolin portrays Archer Graff, a grieving father suspicious of her involvement. Director Cregger praised Garner's ability to embody both delicacy and strength, and lauded Brolin's talent for conveying complex emotions with nuance. The film is described as a genre-bending thriller that blends horror with a strange love story and challenges traditional genre expectations. "Weapons" is set for release in Indian cinemas on August 8, 2025, with a U.S. theatrical release imminent.
