In an exciting twist, the beloved horror game franchise Resident Evil, which has also spawned a successful film series featuring Milla Jovovich, is set for a fresh start with the mind behind the hit movie Barbarian. And it seems Barbarian is returning the favor, as a game adaptation of that film is in the works as well.

Zach Cregger, the man behind the success of Barbarian and the highly anticipated Weapons, starring Josh Brolin and Julia Garner, has been tapped to helm the new Resident Evil reboot. According to reports from The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. is in the running to acquire Cregger's adaptation, along with competitors like Netflix, which already has its own Resident Evil TV series.

The new Resident Evil will reportedly return to its horror roots, aiming for a more faithful adaptation of the original 1996 PlayStation game. The story revolves around a team taking on the Umbrella Corporation after they unleash a deadly zombie virus. Constantin Films, who have held the rights to the IP since the '90s, will produce the reboot alongside PlayStation Productions.
