For the new film in the Resident Evil series, Cregger will write the script himself. He aims to make it closer to the roots of the game franchise, as well as much scarier.
The film does not yet have a distributor, and negotiations are ongoing. Netflix and Warner Bros. are competing for the distribution rights. Previously, Resident Evil movie adaptations directed by Paul Anderson were released by Sony Pictures, but it is unclear whether the company is applying for the new film.
