«Resident Evil» is based on the popular video game series and tells the story of a deadly virus created by the Umbrella Corporation that turns people into zombies and other mutated creatures. The franchise has been adapted into several films over the years, starting with the original «Resident Evil» (2002), followed by «Apocalypse» (2004), «Extinction» (2007), «Afterlife» (2010), «Retribution» (2012), and «The Final Chapter» (2016), all starring Milla Jovovich.
The series was later rebooted with the film «Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City» (2021), which aimed to more closely follow the original games. The upcoming 2026 reboot from Kreger is expected to offer a new approach, with an original storyline centered around a medical courier caught in the midst of a horrific outbreak, focusing on survival horror.
Kreger is an American filmmaker, writer, and actor, best known as the director of the horror film «Barbarian», - which became a hit in 2022. He followed this success with the horror film «Weapon», - set to be released in 2025, which tells the story of a group of children who mysteriously disappear in a small town.
The upcoming «Resident Evil» reboot will be released exclusively in theaters. It is being distributed by Sony Pictures, which means it will likely become available on digital platforms and streaming services after its theatrical run, although specific streaming details have not yet been announced.
