Zach Cregger, director of the acclaimed horror film Barbarian and a member of The Whitest Kids You Know, is helming a Resident Evil reboot. A bidding war is underway among four studios, including Netflix and Warner Bros., to secure distribution rights for Cregger's project, which he will write and direct.
Cregger's 2022 horror hit, Barbarian, established his talent for suspenseful storytelling. He's already completed his next film, Weapons, reportedly receiving strong audience test scores. [Read our Barbarian review here.]
This will be the second attempt at rebooting the Resident Evil franchise. Paul W.S. Anderson's six-film series, starring Milla Jovovich, grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide, despite deviating from the source material. The 2021 film, Welcome to Raccoon City, aimed for greater game fidelity but fell short of critical acclaim.
Constantin Film, alongside PlayStation Productions, will produce Cregger's reboot. PlayStation Productions, established in 2019, adapts Sony's video game properties for film and television, with past successes including Uncharted and the The Last of Us series.
Future PlayStation Productions projects include adaptations of Until Dawn, Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima, Gravity Rush, Helldivers, Horizon Zero Dawn, and an Uncharted sequel. A God of War TV show and a Ghost of Tsushima anime series are also in development.
