Bloody Reboot Alert: Iconic Horror Franchise Born Again By Renowned Director Of Chilling Thrills

A New Resident Evil Movie is in the Works, and It’s a Bidding War
Get ready, horror fans! A new Resident Evil movie is on the horizon, and four major studios are vying for the rights to bring this terrifying franchise to life. The reason for the frenzy? Director Zach Cregger, known for his critically acclaimed horror film "Barbarian," is attached to write and direct this reboot.
A More Faithful Adaptation
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cregger’s vision for this new Resident Evil is to go back to the franchise’s horror roots and be more faithful to the original games. This is a welcome change from the previous adaptations, which have failed to capture the spirit of the games. The most recent attempt, 2021’s "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City," received poor reviews and underperformed at the box office.
A New Direction for the Franchise
The rights to this new film are up for grabs, and four major studios are in the running to land the project. Only two of the contenders were named in the report: Warner Bros. and Netflix. Netflix has previously released a live-action Resident Evil series, while Warner Bros. has a history of producing horror classics. With Cregger’s box office success with "Barbarian" and "Weapons," the stakes are high for these studios.
A New Beginning for the Franchise
For fans of the games, this could be the perfect opportunity to see their beloved franchise return to its horror roots. And if the rumors are true, we may be in for a treat. In an era where adaptations often deviate from their source material, Cregger’s commitment to staying true to the games is a breath of fresh air.
The Future of Resident Evil
As the world of Resident Evil continues to evolve, with a potential new mainline game on the horizon, the franchise is poised to make a comeback. Will this new movie be the game-changer (pun intended) that fans have been waiting for? Only time will tell. One thing is certain, though: with Cregger at the helm, this new Resident Evil movie has the potential to be the most faithful adaptation yet.
