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.

A release date is officially set for the Resident Evil movie from Barbarian director Zach Cregger as various producers join the project.

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

The previous Resident Evil films have all been released under Sony Pictures. This includes the film series by Paul W.S. Anderson and Resident Evil: Raccoon City, released in 2021. To date, the film franchise has amassed $1.2 billion in revenue worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing video game feature film franchises of all-time.

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.

"Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City" followed the first film series and was released in 2021, but the reboot made $41 million worldwide on a budget of $25 million. Despite the stark critic reception for the film series, and all of the live action attempts, Sony is set to reboot the franchise once again.

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.

Director Yasuhiro Ampo has revealed that the Resident Evil 2 remake was inspired in part by fan projects at the time. Clearly, people wanted to see the classics with a next-gen lick of paint, as it became the second-best-selling game in the series.

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.

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.
