Resident Evil Reboot In the Works From Barbarian Director

Author : Henry Update:Feb 19,2025

Zach Cregger, acclaimed director of the horror film Barbarian and a member of the comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U 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 franchise. Cregger will write and direct the reboot. THR names Netflix and Warner Bros. among the four studios vying for the project.

Cregger's 2022 film, Barbarian, about a woman who uncovers a terrifying secret in a rented house, propelled him to prominence. He's already completed his next project, Weapons, which reportedly received exceptionally positive audience test screenings.

PlayThis marks the second Resident Evil film reboot. Paul W.S. Anderson directed a six-film series starring Milla Jovovich, which, despite deviating from the games, achieved a worldwide gross of $1.2 billion. 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, alongside PlayStation Productions, will produce Cregger's reboot, mirroring their involvement in previous films. Sony launched PlayStation Productions in 2019 to adapt its games into film and television, including Uncharted (starring Tom Holland), Gran Turismo, 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 show and a recently announced Ghost of Tsushima anime series are also in development.
