A Resident Evil reboot movie is in the works from Zach Cregger, the writer and director behind the 2022 horror sensation Barbarian.

Per THR, Cregger's involvement has sparked a bidding war between four companies, including Netflix and Warner Bros., for the Resident Evil reboot's distribution rights.

Cregger, who's both writing and directing the project, is a hot commodity after successfully transitioning from comedy to horror with Barbarian.

Constantin Film, the production company behind all of the Resident Evil movies including 2021's Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, is back for the reboot alongside PlayStation Productions.

Although the Resident Evil IP has yet to produce a financially unsuccessful movie, THR reports that it's Cregger's involvement specifically that's enticing to bidders.
