Bidding war begins for Barbarian filmmaker Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie
Constantin Film has owned the big screen right to the since the late 1990s and is set to produce the reboot alongside PlayStation Productions. Cregger will co-write with Shay Hatten () and direct. This new project will return the “title to its horror roots and be more faithful to the initial games.”
As much as Hollywood loves doing movies, including six movies starring Milla Jovovich, a pandemic-era film, and a Netflix series, the big selling point is said to be Zach Cregger himself. Coming off the cult hit in 2022, it seems like the filmmaker is all the rage.
Cregger’s next work is the upcoming film , which features Josh Brolin and Julia Garner leading an ensemble cast.
The movies are based on the Capcom video games, which see our heroes falling off against the evil corporation Umbrella and their twisted monsters. The films have grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide.
