Zach Cregger takes Resident Evil to the next level.
Few video game franchises have stood the test of time like Resident Evil. For nearly three decades, Resident Evil has captivated fans with its blend of survival horror, relentless tension and unforgettable monsters, evolving into one of the highest-selling game franchises of all time while also spawning a global film franchise that has grossed more than $1.2 billion USD worldwide.
Now, the franchise is entering a new era with acclaimed filmmaker Zach Cregger at the helm. Following the breakout success of Barbarian, Cregger has quickly become one of horror's most exciting creative voices, earning a reputation for delivering smart, unpredictable films that resonate strongly with younger audiences. His latest film, Weapons, further cemented his status as one of the genre's most compelling filmmakers, with Amy Madigan winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as the menacing Gladys.
Fuelled by millennial nostalgia and Gen Z's appetite for horror, Resident Evil is set to unite longtime gaming fans with a new generation of horror enthusiasts. Together, they create one of the year's most anticipated theatrical events for youth audiences, offering strong alignment for banking, QSR, retail and technology brands.
