Resident Evil Reboot Unveiled, Helmed by 'Barbarian' Director
Zach Cregger, acclaimed director of the horror film Barbarian and a member of the comedy troupe The Whitest Kids You Know, is helming a Resident Evil reboot.
The Hollywood Reporter reports a fierce bidding war is underway for distribution rights to Cregger's adaptation of Capcom's iconic survival horror game franchise. Cregger is set to write and direct. Four studios, including Netflix and Warner Bros., are reportedly vying for the rights.
Cregger's 2022 film, Barbarian, about a woman who discovers a terrifying secret in a rented house, propelled him to prominence. He has already completed his next project, Weapons, which reportedly received highly positive audience test screenings.

This marks the second Resident Evil film reboot. Paul W.S. Anderson directed a six-film series starring Milla Jovovich, which, while deviating from the games, generated $1.2 billion globally. A 2021 reboot, Welcome to Raccoon City, directed by Johannes Roberts, aimed for greater game fidelity but fell short of the games' quality.
Constantin Film, in collaboration with PlayStation Productions, will produce Cregger's reboot, mirroring their involvement in previous films. Established in 2019, PlayStation Productions adapts Sony's games into films and television, including Uncharted (starring Tom Holland), Gran Turismo, the The Last of Us TV series, and Twisted Metal.
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 series and a recently announced Ghost of Tsushima anime series are also in development.
