Fans of the 2002 Nintendo Gamecube hit, Resident Evil Zero, are already thrilled with rumors of a remake, but now they’re even more excited since it’s also being turned into a movie! This news was initially shared by Bloody Disgusting, with reliable source Dusk Golem spilling the beans on X.
Among the leaked details, it emerged that director Zach Cregger, renowned for his work on “Barbarian,” a gruesome horror movie, was under consideration for Resident Evil Zero. If you haven’t watched it yet, I strongly recommend seeking out a stream once you’ve finished reading this article.
As with any article about an online leak, take this with a grain of bloody salt.
Resident Evil Zero Might Be Made Into A Movie So Screen Gems Doesn’t Lose Its Rights To The Franchise
The most recent Resident Evil film titled “Welcome to Raccoon City” hit theaters in 2021. If Screen Gems doesn’t produce another movie by 2026, they might lose the rights to the popular horror gaming franchise. On this topic, Dusk Golem shared a string of tweets outlining the predicament.
I’d like to share my personal thoughts about where I think the Resident Evil series might head over the next few years, but please keep in mind that it’s just speculation.
It seems that Screen Gems/Constantin Films hold a contract that grants them the right to produce films based on the Resident Evil brand.

Simple enough to understand, but with further tweets, he gets into more detail:
To put it simply, given that a new Resident Evil movie should be launched approximately every five years from a financial standpoint, the upcoming film directed by Zach Cregger, which starts production soon, ought to hit theaters before the fiscal year 2026 ends. This is because the last Resident Evil film, “Welcome to Raccoon City,” was released in the year 2021.

It’s widely speculated/reported that this movie is based on Resident Evil Zero, featuring Rebecca and Billy as the main characters.
It appears that the follow-up to the successful Switch game could soon be unveiled, potentially launching in 2021. I have reason to believe that Capcom might partner with Nintendo for promotional purposes.

From these three posts, it’s clear that Dusk Golem hinted at Resident Evil Zero focusing on Billy and Rebecca as characters, while Zack Creggar’s filming of something is set to start soon. If this information is accurate, we can expect official confirmations within the coming days or weeks.
Zach Cregger’s Barbarian Makes Him The Perfect Directing Choice
2022 marked a chilling anniversary for me – twenty years since Resident Evil Zero graced the Gamecube screens. Fast forward, I found myself gripped by the spine-tingling horror of “Barbarian” in cinemas. Directed and penned by Zach Creggers, this masterpiece was a rollercoaster ride of fear, suspense, and home invasion terror that left both critics and moviegoers breathless. Moreover, it solidified the reputation of The Whitest Kids You Know alum as a name to reckon with in the horror genre. Now, I can’t help but wonder if his biggest break yet is just around the corner.
Currently, the film “Barbarian” boasts a 92% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with an audience score of 71%. Known for its suspenseful ambiance and creative twist on traditional horror motifs, it suggests that Cregger might just be the ideal director to rejuvenate the struggling Resident Evil movie series.
What Went Wrong With The Resident Evil Movies?
Following an initial film that skillfully blended horror and action, the Milla Jovovich-fronted series soon morphed into movies resembling attempts at Mad Max-style action. Unfortunately, subsequent animated and live-action shows on Netflix could not recreate the charm of the original games.
After more than two decades, it seems that Screen Gems might successfully adapt Resident Evil Zero this time around, assuming the rumors are accurate. Fortunately, the Resident Evil series continues to thrive, and we’re eagerly awaiting the release of Resident Evil 9.
