Zach Cregger has lined up his next feature at Warner Bros.’ New Line division, an original sci-fi thriller titled The Flood. The filmmaker, who helmed last year’s acclaimed and Oscar-winning horror Weapons, will write and direct this next film.

The project reunites him with his Weapons producers Roy Lee and Miri Yoon from Vertigo Entertainment. Also producing is Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment.

Not much has been revealed about this project, aside from studio heads heaping praise on Cregger. “Zach is the rarest of filmmakers, fluent in every genre he touches, and we’re excited to continue our partnership,” said New Line president Richard Brener in a statement.

Zach Cregger stated, “I’m incredibly excited to continue my partnership with Mike, Pam, Richard, and the teams at Warner Bros. and New Line. They are true champions of bold creativity, united by a shared ambition to deliver unforgettable theatrical experiences for audiences. That’s the dream for any filmmaker.”

Until The Flood, Cregger’s next feature is Resident Evil, based on the hit video game franchise, and releasing in cinemas in September. He is also set to direct a Weapons prequel film, which would centre on the fan-favourite character of Aunt Gladys. The role earned Amy Madigan the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award.
