Two months out from that date, an unnerving poster for the movie has dropped on-line, and you’ll test it out within the embed above.
Most particulars about Weapons are shrouded in thriller. It has been stated that it’s “an interrelated, multistory horror epic” that’s tonally within the vein of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia, and the story revolves across the disappearance of elementary faculty youngsters in a small city. Right here’s the official synopsis: When all however one little one from the identical class mysteriously vanish on the identical evening at precisely the identical time, a neighborhood is left questioning who or what’s behind their disappearance. The youth of the lacking individuals is the rationale why the brand new poster options photos that seem to have been drawn by a baby.
Garner’s character is Justine Gandy, “a teacher at Maybrook Elementary who shows up to work one morning to find her entire class — except one student — is missing.
