A brand new Resident Evil reboot from Barbarian author and director Zach Cregger is within the works, in accordance with The Hollywood Reporter. The publication studies that Cregger is on board to put in writing and direct the film, which will probably be produced by Constantin Movie and PlayStation Productions, with Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapter 4 ) as co-writer. I’m most likely not the one one questioning whether or not we actually want one other Resident Evil film after half a dozen titles within the Milla Jovovich-led collection and 2021’s Welcome to Raccoon Metropolis, however as somebody who cherished Barbarian, I can’t say I’m not intrigued.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, “Cregger’s take is described by sources as a revamp that may take the title to its horror roots and be extra devoted to the preliminary video games.” There aren’t any particulars in regards to the upcoming film past that, however Warner Bros., Netflix and two different studios are reportedly in a bidding conflict for it.
