The upcoming film will emphasize horror elements, staying true to the essence of the iconic video game franchise. At the helm of the project is Zach Cregger, the acclaimed director of the critically praised horror film Barbarian . His involvement has generated significant anticipation among fans of the genre.

Production on the Resident Evil movie is set to begin in the summer. The project is being developed by Sony, which secured the rights to adapt the franchise after outbidding competitors like Warner Bros. and Netflix.

This announcement comes two years after Netflix canceled its Resident Evil live-action series due to poor reception of its first season from both critics and viewers. With Sony now at the helm and Zach Cregger directing, expectations are high for this cinematic reboot to deliver a fresh yet faithful take on the beloved survival horror series.

As filming approaches, fans eagerly await further updates on casting, plot details, and how the movie will bring the terrifying world of Resident Evil to life on the big screen.
