“…he was the only actor who didn’t bail on me.” Austin Abrams on why he didn’t exit Weapons after Zach Cregger lost his original cast. P.S. Cregger’s Resident Evil is awesome. The IMAX aspect ratio shift is worth seeing in that format. Really great filmmaking & performances.

Yeah if some dude stuck around for 9 months like that I’d make him the star of my next film without a doubt

Loyalty means something still

Thank god Pedro pascal wasn't in weapons

Can’t wait to see the movies that him and Austin are gonna make in the future. These two are a dynamic duo.

Color me shocked; Zach Cregger makes Austin Abrams lead in Resident Evil, bravo!

The role Austin passed on was Sentry btw

Loyalty to the art not the money goes the longest way in hollywood

he real af

holyy the original casting for julia garners role was renate cant act for shit reisve. way to dodge a bullet

loyal mfer right there AND a ball knower

your interviews are awesome

Are we seeing the birth of a new Tim Burton / Johnny Depp friendship??

Where can I watch the full interview?

I'm just learning that Zach Cregger is the main lead in a TV I really liked called "WRECKED" that was on TBS. It was a fun spoofy version of Lost with a comedic take. Love Barbarian and Weapons, but never really looked up or knew what Zach looked like until now. Happy for him.

Deniro and Scorsese, beautiful. I love it when actors and directors find their forever ppl in their work

Full podcast episode with Austin Abrams and Zach Cregger talking Resident Evil, Weapons & more.

Their bromance are amazing indeed. Can't wait for more of the duo.

Didn't even realize he was the drug addict.

peak

I thought the cast changed because of the writers strike

Honourable young man passed on better offers just out of respect for the director, loyalty to his commitments. God bless him

Kings. The both of them

This is a top tier director/actor teamup, I hope they do a lot of work together.

Austin is married? I saw a ring

He was so good in resident evil. Really connects with the audience in a special way.

@CultOfCondor did not know any of this

Barbarian had me clapping in the theater, it was reality good 🔥👏🏾

Glad pedro pascal wasn't in weapons
