Zach Cregger, acclaimed for his directorial prowess with the horror film "Barbarian" and his comedic contributions as part of The Whitest Kids You Know, is now setting his sights on rebooting the iconic Resident Evil franchise. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a fierce bidding war is underway among four studios, including Netflix and Warner Bros., eager to secure distribution rights for Cregger's vision of the classic Capcom survival horror series.
Cregger's recent success with "Barbarian," a chilling tale about a woman uncovering a terrifying secret in a rental house, has heightened anticipation for his upcoming project, "Weapons," which has reportedly received exceptionally positive test screenings. You can delve deeper into our thoughts on "Barbarian" with our comprehensive review.
This Resident Evil reboot marks the second cinematic revival of the franchise. Previously, Paul W.S. Anderson directed a lucrative series of six films starring Milla Jovovich, which, despite straying from the source material, amassed a staggering $1.2 billion at the global box office. In 2021, Johannes Roberts attempted a more faithful adaptation with "Welcome to Raccoon City," yet it fell short of capturing the essence of Capcom's acclaimed game series.Constantin Film, in collaboration with PlayStation Productions, will produce this new reboot. Since its inception in 2019, PlayStation Productions has been instrumental in bringing video game narratives to the screen, including hits like "Uncharted" with Tom Holland, "Gran Turismo," the TV series "The Last of Us," and "Twisted Metal."
Looking ahead, PlayStation Productions has an exciting lineup including adaptations of "Until Dawn," "Days Gone," "Ghost of Tsushima," "Gravity Rush," "Helldivers," "Horizon Zero Dawn," and a sequel to "Uncharted." Additionally, a "God of War" TV show and a "Ghost of Tsushima" anime series are also on the horizon, promising a rich slate of content for fans of video game adaptations.
