The upcoming Resident Evil reboot, directed by Zach Cregger, aims to realign the franchise with its horror gaming roots. Following the lackluster performance of the 2021 film, which failed to capture the essence of the original games, this new adaptation is anticipated to adhere more closely to its source material. With Cregger's previous success with the film Barbarian, interest among major studios has surged, prompting a bidding war for the rights to the film. Warner Bros. and Netflix are key contenders in this competitive landscape, marking a strategic shift for the franchise's future.
Cregger's Resident Evil is described as 'a revamp that will take the title to its horror roots and be more faithful to the initial games.'
The six Resident Evil movies that came before struggled to capture the spirit of the games, largely deviating from the source material.
Cregger's involvement has sparked a bidding war among major studios including Warner Bros. and Netflix, emphasizing the anticipation surrounding his vision.
With hits like Barbarian, Cregger's box office clout has increased interest in reinventing the Resident Evil franchise to better align with its gaming origins.
