An intense bidding war is underway for a reboot of Resident Evil, the horror action movie franchise based on the popular video games. Barbarian director Zach Cregger is attached to write and direct.
Four studios are elbowing for the win, among them Warner Bros. and Netflix, according to sources.
Cregger’s take is described by sources as a revamp that will take the title to its horror roots and be more faithful to the initial games, which date back to 1996.
