Zach Cregger directs new Resident Evil reboot film in Raccoon City
Director Zach Cregger is making a fully original Resident Evil movie set in Raccoon City after the previous 2021 reboot failed.
Original story separate from games
The new film features a completely original narrative that does not follow the video game plots. Zach Cregger, known for directing Barbarian and Weapons, is leading this production effort. This project follows the cancellation of the 2021 Welcome to Raccoon City reboot.
Franchise history and previous films
The Resident Evil series began with a 1996 Capcom game that introduced characters like Chris Redfield. Six live-action movies starring Milla Jovovich were released under Paul W.S. Anderson before the recent changes. The franchise previously held the record for highest-grossing film series based on a video game.
