Zach Cregger, the director of the upcoming Resident Evil movie, is reportedly getting quite the payday for the reboot despite his small filmography.

This new addition to the popular horror series will be directed by Zach Cregger, who is also co-writing the script alongside Shay Hatten.The upcoming movie is being produced by Constantin Film, which has been involved with the 'Resident Evil' films since the very beginning.

Sony has won the bidding war for the Resident Evil movie reboot—the same studio that released the first (bad) six Resident Evil live action movies, plus the Jovovich-less (and still bad) reboot Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City in 2021.

Barbarian director Zach Cregger may be helming the next Resident Evil movie, but Paul W.S. Anderson--the man who directed or produced the first six Resident Evil movies --is turning his attention to bringing Sega's House of the Dead back to the big screen. According to Anderson, that film may begin production as soon as this year.

Sony will release Columbia Pictures’ “ Resident Evil ” domestically on Sept. 18, 2026. Based on Capcom’s hugely popular horror video games, Zach Cregger has written the script and will direct. Shay Hatten is co-writing.

A new remake of Resident Evil is coming on the horizon, and there are already a ton of exciting details about the upcoming video game movie.

Earlier this year, reports emerged that a new Resident Evil movie was in the works from Zach Cregger, the writer and director of Barbarian, a recent breakout horror hit. Now, after a reportedly fierce bidding war among studios, the Resident Evil reboot is remaining with Sony Pictures, the studio that released the first seven films in the franchise.

The House of the Dead movie just got an exciting update from its director Paul W.S. Anderson, with the filmmaker promising to "push the envelope" when it comes to his big-screen take on the horror video game.
