Constantin Film, which has held the screen rights for Resident Evil since the 1990s, will reportedly produce the reboot along with PlayStation Productions, a studio formed in 2019 by Sony Interactive Entertainment to adapt its original game properties for film and television in partnership with Sony Pictures.

Constantin Film, which holds the screen rights to the series, will apparently produce alongside PS Productions. This would potentially mark the first time the Sony subsidiary has helped adapted a series it doesn’t wholly own, as while Resident Evil has a long history with PlayStation, Capcom created the franchise and makes the game.

A new Resident Evil movie is being developed by Barbarian director Zach Cregger, and it's said a bidding war has erupted from it.

Studios are fighting for a package that will see the 'Barbarian' filmmaker write and direct a new movie based on the horror video game.
