Zach Cregger to Tackle ‘Resident Evil’ Reboot, Igniting Bidding War
- Thread starter Infamous114
- Start date
In what seems to have become the first major auction of the year, an intense bidding war is underway for a reboot of Resident Evil, the horror action movie franchise based on the popular video games. Cregger is attached to write and direct.
Four studios are elbowing for the win, among them Warner Bros. and Netflix, according to sources.
Cregger was an actor and comedian who reinvented himself as a cutting edge filmmaker with Barbarian, the 2022 cult hit that he wrote and directed. It also established him as a new voice in horror, and when he went out with his follow-up horror project, a bidding war erupted. That upcoming film, titled Weapons, was won by Warners’ New Line division and saw him become a final cut director. The horror movie has Josh Brolin and Julia Garner in its ensemble cast.

After the abomination of the Milla Jovovich and the recent movie they need to stop trying with this franchise
4 or 5 movies is giving it the attention it deserves, unfortunately they all was ass.
No
Those were cash grabs taking advantage of the IP
I'm talking about a movie that actually creeps you tf out like the games did
How the hell do you fuck up Nemesis. If they going to do it right then they should actually follow the source material.
Studios believe in the director enough that they're fighting for the rights to distribute it

Low key i was going to give Korean content an exception. Some of that is pretty decent and gore heavy
