We Don’t Talk About β€˜Weapons’: The Anti-Word-of-Mouth Campaign Behind Summer’s Scariest Movie Filmmaker Zach Cregger plans to keep his audience guessing, right up until his new movie’s release date.

Curious about #Weapons but want to avoid spoilers?

This goes into how director Zach Cregger created the movie (and its eerie buzz), but sidesteps revealing any surprises.

You are in for some.

What the hell is actually going on with #Weapons?

The movie debuts next week, but all the trailers and promotion has only raised more curiosity. That's how director Zach Cregger wants it.

Here's my story about the movie @realgdt.bsky.social knew he had to make before time ran out.

The movie itself is heartbreakingβ€”an operatic tragedy.

Shelley's book, subtitled "The Modern Prometheus," is often seen as a warning about heedless science.

But del Toro's #Frankenstein is about toxic family. β€œIt’s parents and children,” Jacob Elordi says. β€œFathers and sons, particularly.”

Today, it's creation day.

Oscar Isaac's Victor Frankenstein is stitching together what @realgdt.bsky.social calls "the quilt": the body of his resurrected experiment.

The ruins of a water tower in the Carpathian mountains is his laboratory. The Medusa fountain bears the appropriate expression.

Our visit to #Frankenstein begins:

A naked dead man lies face down just inside the doorway. Livers, hearts, stomachs & other vitals are stacked on shelves inside the corridor.

Severed limbs are breadcrumbs leading to Guillermo del Toro inside the soundstage, making the movie of a lifetime...

"I beheld the wretchβ€”the miserable monster whom I had created... His eyes, if eyes they may be called, were fixed on me.” So Mary Shelley wrote in 1818.

Elordi's creature is very different from Karloff, with kintsugi-like red sutures resembling a shattered marble statue fused back together.

Very different from the 1930s version. But then, children are never quite the same as their parents.

How β€˜Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Heals a 30-Year-Old Betrayal: β€˜The Curse Is Broken’ In the early ’90s, Roger Corman made a low-budget β€˜Fantastic Four’ film that was never released. Its misled castmates reveal how Marvel finally welcomed them back into the superhero family.

Most people have no idea the the first #FantasticFour movie was made in 1994. That's because it was never actually released.

The four stars thought it would be a big break, but it was actually just a cheap-o ploy to hold onto film rights.

This is their infuriating, funny, and surprising story:
