The filmmaker behind Barbarian is leading a new Resident Evil reboot

a new resident Evil reboot from Barbarian Writer and director Zach Cregger is working, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The publication reports that Cregger is on board to write and direct the film, which will be produced by Constantin Film and PlayStation Productions, with Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapter 4 ) as co-writer. I’m probably not the only one wondering if In fact I need another Resident Evil movie after half a dozen titles in the series directed by Milla Jovovich and from 2021 Welcome to Raccoon City, but as someone who loved BarbarianI can’t say I’m not intrigued.

By The Hollywood Reporter“Sources describe Cregger’s version as a revamp that will take the title back to its horror roots and be more faithful to the initial games.” There are no further details about the upcoming film beyond that, but Warner Bros., Netflix and two other studios are reportedly in a bidding war for it.
