There have been multiple attempts to adapt Resident Evil for the big screen, with Paul W.S. Anderson’s efforts starring Milla Jovovich being the most successful.
But now The Hollywood Reporter claims a “bidding war” is underway for a franchise reboot fronted by Zach Cregger of Barbarian fame.
According to the website, Warner Bros and Netflix are among the frontrunners to sign the film, which will be co-written by John Wick: Chapter 4’s Shay Hatten. Cregger is on deck to co-write and direct.
