Zach Cregger to produce ‘Gladys’ prequel without writing or directing

Filmmaker Zach Cregger has clarified that he will not write or direct ‘Gladys’, the upcoming prequel to his successful film ‘Weapons’. While Cregger was previously linked to directing the project and co-writing the script, he confirmed to Deadline that Zach Shields is now the sole writer. Cregger’s involvement in ‘Gladys’ will likely be limited to producing and a potential story credit.

Cregger is shifting his focus to his passion project, the sci-fi film ‘The Flood’, which is produced by Steven Spielberg. ‘The Flood’ is scheduled for a theatrical release on August 11, 2028, with ‘Gladys’ slated to follow on September 8, 2028. ‘The Flood’ follows a deep-space exploration team investigating a reality-warping alien artifact.
