After years of keeping the world laughing as part of the comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U’Know, Zach Cregger made a sharp shift and moved into the world of horror. Moving from in front of the camera to behind it, Cregger made his breakthrough feature-length directorial debut with the 2022 film Barbarian. In the years since, the movie has reached the masses and become considered by many as one of the greatest genre flicks of the last decade. Proving that lightning can in fact strike more than once, Cregger followed up the Georgina Campbell-led film last year with <em>Weapons</em>. The following behind the filmmaker’s sophomore project can’t be understated as it was not only a favorite among audiences but was just as much of a hit with critics as well, even earning its star Amy Madigan her first Academy Award win.
Madigan’s performance as the eccentric witchy aunt Gladys made such a wave that she will soon be reprising her role in a prequel film titled Gladys. But, before we learn more about the hijinks that brought Gladys to the town of Maybrook, Pennsylvania in the Warner Bros. production, audiences will be invited to join Cregger for something completely different. Tonight, during the Warner Bros. panel at CinemaCon, it was announced that the helmer will flex his sci-fi chops with an original project titled <em>The Flood</em>. Slated for a cinematic arrival on August 11, 2028, not only is Cregger back behind the camera on this one, but he also penned the screenplay and will serve as a producer alongside Amblin and Vertigo Entertainment.

TEST YOUR SURVIVAL →
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do?
The first instinct is often the truest one.
APull on every thread until I understand the system — then figure out how to break it.
BStop asking questions and start stockpiling — food, fuel, weapons. Questions don’t keep you alive.
CKeep my head down, observe carefully, and trust no one until I know who’s pulling the strings.
DStudy the patterns. Every system has a rhythm — learn it, and you learn how to survive it.
EFind the people fighting back and join them. You can’t fix a broken galaxy alone.

02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely?
What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
AKnowledge. If you understand the system, you don’t need resources — you can generate them.
A Fuel. Everything else — movement, power, escape — runs on it.
<labelTrust. In a world of fakes and informants, a truly reliable ally is rarer than any commodity.
<labelWater. And after water, information — the two things empires are truly built on.
<labelShips and credits. The galaxy is big — you survive it by being able to move through it freely.
