This past February, we told you that Barbarian, Weapons, and Resident Evil director Zach Cregger‘s next project, titled The Flood, was being shopped around town.
Warner Bros. announced today at CinemaCon that it has not only acquired the sci-fi thriller but has also fast-tracked it, with plans to release it in theaters on August 11, 2028.
The project reunites him with his Weapons producers Roy Lee and Miri Yoon of Vertigo Entertainment and interestingly has him working with avowed Cregger fan Steven Spielberg. The latter’s Amblin Entertainment is also producing Flood, adds THR.
And while reveal and subsequent PR release was light on detail, including keeping the plot on a distant space station, it is known that the project was originally set up at Netflix. And the filmmaker’s previous projects have been modern-set horror thriller freakouts, this one is described as being very much in the science fiction mold.
