Resident Evil

Zack Cregg (director of *Barbarians*) will helm a reboot of *Resident Evil*, produced by Constantin Film in collaboration with PlayStation Productions. The film is said to return to the horror roots of the franchise and be more faithful to the early games. Reports also mention that due to Cregg’s promising potential in the horror genre, four major studios/platforms—including Warner Bros. and Netflix—are competing to acquire the film rights. This is one of Hollywood’s first big project battles of the year.
