Resident Evil movie reboot writer Zach Cregger will keep adaptation faithful to the games
Zach Cregger to helm new Resident Evil movie, staying true to the games.

The reboot of the Resident Evil movie franchise is in the works with Zach Cregger, known for his work on 'Barbarian', set as the writer and director. Eager to maintain fidelity to the games, the project is highly anticipated as four studios, including PlayStation Productions, Warner Bros., and Netflix, vie to produce it.
The new movie aims to revitalize the franchise which has been a part of numerous media formats. Shay Hatten, known for 'John Wick: Chapter 4', is expected to co-write this seventh major installment, offering hope for fans that it will capture the essence of Capcom's iconic horror series.
Previous attempts at continuing the franchise's legacy, such as the Netflix series, faced poor reception and swift cancellation. Milla Jovovich starred in the first six films, but with this new direction, there is both excitement and scrutiny on how this reboot will evolve within the Resident Evil universe.
