A Resident Evil reboot movie is in the works from 🍸Zach Cregger, the writer and director behind the 2022 horror sensation Barbarian.
Per , Cregger's involvement has sparked a bidding war between four companies, including Netflix and Warner Bros., for t𒁃he Resident Evil reboot's distribution rights. Cregger, who's both🍒 writing and directing the project, is a hot commodity after successfully transitioning from comedy to horror with Barbarian.
Constantin Fil𒈔m, the production company behind🏅 all of the Resident Evil movies including 2021's Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, is back for the reboot alongside PlayStation Productions.
Although the Resident Evil IP has yet to produce aꦉ financially unsuccessful movie, THR reports that it's Cregger's involvement specifically t🥀hat's enticing to bidders.
What makes me personally excited abouꦕt Cregger's involvement is two-fold: Barbarian is a wild good time that manages to be scary and funny in near-equal measure, and also, THR describes his Resident Evil reboot as "a revamp that will take the title to its horror roots and be more faithful to the initial games." Heck. Yes.
All seven movies released since the o♍riginal Resident Evil in 2002 have been action-horror movies with the emphasis on action. I've always felt the Resident Evil games were at their best when they were focused on the scares, and it sounds like this new reboot will capitalize💃 on that.
Here's hoping this next Resident Evil flick joins the ranks of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best video game movies, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, a๊nd I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's wes𝐆tern regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
