Filmmaker Zach Cregger, known for his success with the horror film ‘Barbarian’, is poised to pen and helm a brand-new movie adaptation of the renowned horror game series ‘Resident Evil‘.
As per THR’s report, Cregger’s upcoming film is sparking a fierce competition among several studios aiming to acquire the rights for the reboot project. It’s said that four studios are in the running, with Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix being two of them. Constantin Films, who have had the Resident Evil movie name rights for some time, along with PlayStation Productions, will be responsible for producing this film.
What do we know about the Resident Evil movie?
At present, the plot of Cregger’s Resident Evil film remains a mystery, as the iconic video game series has previously inspired seven movies, starting from 2002, with many featuring Milla Jovovich in lead roles.
Known primarily for his role in co-creating The Whitest Kids U’ Know comedy group alongside Sam Brown and the late Trevor Moore, Cregger has made a name for himself. He directed the 2009 comedy “Miss March,” but it was his work on the 2022 horror film “Barbarian” that truly established him as a director, with the movie gaining widespread acclaim in the horror community and earning rave reviews.
Title of Cregger’s upcoming movie is Weapons, featuring Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, Austin Abrams, Amy Madigan, June Diane Raphael, Cary Christopher, and Clayton Farris. The storyline revolves around various interconnected mysteries surrounding the vanishing of schoolchildren in the dead of night. The movie will hit theatres on January 16, 2026.
