This was especially applicable to cinematographer Larkin Seiple\u2019s placement of the camera \u2013 the lens sees the world directly from the perspective of the character, and so for example, with Cary Christopher\u2019s Alex, the only student from Miss Gandy\u2019s class who doesn\u2019t go missing \u2013 everything is shot from his third-grader height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a movie that starts weird and I think it ends way weirder, but it also stays both feet on the ground as much as it can,\u201d says Cregger. \u201cIt\u2019s a movie that obeys the rules of its own universe so it\u2019s not going to spiral into some bizarre, hallucinogenic nightmare or anything like that. But it is a twisty, turn-y movie. I mean, it\u2019s a movie that reinvents itself about every 20 minutes while still staying true to the central engine. But it\u2019s also a fun movie. It\u2019s funny, it\u2019s scary, it\u2019s inviting. It\u2019s not a big, grim, morose slog, and yet, the story it tells is really f***ed up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In \u201cWeapons,\u201d&nbsp; when all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance. \u201cWeapons\u201d stars Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, with Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Watch the trailers <\/em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/0hgf-wp65ro?si=K6zqs_MgKFyjC23X\"><em>here<\/em><\/a><em> and <\/em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/mvHJBNJM_CQ?si=utj-omy4OgBlMWcg\"><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Get to know the characters of \u201cWeapons,\u201d the new horror\/thriller from the writer\/director of the 2022 cult hit \u201cBarbarian.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-08911r.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-attachment-id=\"64243\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/movies-entertainment\/look-closer-get-to-know-the-characters-of-weapons-the-mysterious-new-horror-thriller-from-barbarian-director-zach-cregger-only-in-cinemas-and-imax-august-6\/attachment\/wpn-08911r\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-08911r.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,853\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1717793576&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"WPN-08911r\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-08911r-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-08911r-1024x682.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-08911r-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64243\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-08911r-1024x682.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-08911r-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-08911r-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-08911r.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Josh Brolin as Archer in \u201cWeapons\u201d<br>Photo courtesy of Warner Bros.

But when you\u2019re filming that same movie and you see it, it\u2019s not scary to you. In fact, it\u2019s funny. But since I know that it\u2019s fake and it\u2019s not real, we\u2019re just all actors, it just gets pretty funny.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marcus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcus, played by Benedict Wong, is the principal of Maybrook Elementary, where Justine Gandy teaches. Once the children disappear, he finds himself caught between his friendship for Justine and his responsibility to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wong is excited about the movie because it\u2019s unique. \u201cIt was original, unpredictable, and I could immediately tell it had the potential to be genuinely terrifying,\u201d he says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-T1-0016.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"429\" data-attachment-id=\"64245\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/movies-entertainment\/look-closer-get-to-know-the-characters-of-weapons-the-mysterious-new-horror-thriller-from-barbarian-director-zach-cregger-only-in-cinemas-and-imax-august-6\/attachment\/wpn-t1-0016\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-T1-0016.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,536\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1745325916&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"WPN-T1-0016\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-T1-0016-300x126.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-T1-0016-1024x429.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-T1-0016-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64245\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-T1-0016-1024x429.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-T1-0016-300x126.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-T1-0016-768x322.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WPN-T1-0016.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of Warner Bros.
