The reboot will be directed by horror filmmaker Zach Cregger.
Ive been a rabid fan of these games for decades, Cregger said in an interview with Deadline.
And to be able to bring this amazing title to life is a true honour.
Previous films include six entries directed by Paul W.S.
As such, many felt that movies did not faithfully represent the games narrative.
Sanford Panitch, President of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, expressed confidence in Creggers vision for the reboot.
Cregger gained widespread recognition after his 2022 horror film Barbarian became a critical and commercial success.
Nicole Brown will oversee the latest Resident Evil iteration for Sonys Columbia Pictures.
