Coming out later this year, the Guillermo del Toro-produced, Scott Cooper-directed horror movie Antlers was co-written by “Channel Zero” creator Nick Antosca, based on a short story Antosca wrote titled “The Quiet Boy. While the movie’s plot details are being kept a mystery, we figured you’d like to know that the short story can be read right now!

In Antlers, a small-town Oregon teacher and her brother, the local sheriff, become entwined with a young student harboring a dangerous secret with frightening consequences.

“The Quiet Boy” was just published in full over on the website Guernica this morning, and reading it will give you a much better idea of what you can expect from Antlers. While we wait for the trailer (and more information), we highly recommend doing so to tide yourself over!

Keri Russell, Jesse Plemons and Jeremy T. Thomas star in the film, alongside Graham GreeneScott HazeRory Cochrane and Amy Madigan.

The new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), the upcoming Weapons is assembling an impressive cast, with Josh Brolin (Dune 2) and Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) recently signing on. Deadline reports today that Alden Ehrenreich (Cocaine Bear) is the latest actor to join the cast of Cregger’s new movie.

The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.

The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”

Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”

Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
