Zach Cregger, known for horror movies like Barbarian, had noted that he would be telling an original story that is faithful to the lore.
CEO of Constantin Film, Oliver Berben, spoke about being able to tell new stories with long-established IPs like Resident Evil.
Fans of the Resident Evil franchise that might want to see a faithful adaptation of the story "can play the game," said the director.
The new Resident Evil movie will be co-written by Shay Hatten of John Wick: Chapter 4 fame and Zach Cregger of Barbarian fame.
