Resident Evil: Release Date, Cast, And Everything Else We Know About The Reboot Movie
Capcom’s Resident Evil franchise is receiving a new film adaptation from horror director Zach Cregger, known for the acclaimed horror film “Barbarian.” This marks a significant transition for the video game-based movie series, which was previously defined by Paul W.S. Anderson’s six films starring Milla Jovovich that earned over $1 billion globally.
Cregger’s involvement sparked a competitive bidding war won by Sony Pictures, the studio that has distributed all previous Resident Evil films. The filmmaker has established himself as one of the most successful horror directors of this generation, building his career after co-founding the comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U’ Know and appearing in various television sitcoms.
The directorial change follows the disappointing box office performance of the 2021 reboot, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, which earned only $42 million worldwide. Additional details about the upcoming film, including cast members, plot specifics, and exact release timeline, remain unrevealed.
