After six post-apocalyptic thrillers in solely 10 years, writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson lastly concluded his Resident Evil collection with The Remaining Chapter, which was a enjoyable sufficient outing, but additionally a reasonably underwhelming finale to what was, on the entire, one of many extra gratifying motion collection of the previous decade.
That was again in 2016, and within the years since, we’ve heard rumblings reboot was within the works. Granted, there hasn’t been a lot in the best way of concrete updates currently, however whereas talking with ScreenRant, 47 Meters Down director Johannes Roberts confirmed that he’s going to be heading up the mission (as was rumored). In reality, in line with the filmmaker, they’re now in lively improvement and he guarantees that this new tackle the property shall be “tremendous scary.”

Whereas Anderson’s films have been gratifying sufficient, they have been actually missing within the horror division. It was straightforward to get misplaced within the excessive motion, however followers have been at all times asking for extra scares, so it’s good to listen to that Roberts hopes to ship precisely that. Then once more, it’s straightforward to vow one factor solely to by no means make good on it, however when you think about a few of the director’s previous work, it’s not too troublesome to think about him with the ability to crank out a genuinely horrifying Resident Evil film.
In fact, casting and plot particulars nonetheless stay unclear at this early stage, but when what Roberts says is true, and so they’re actually gearing up and are certainly in lively improvement, then it shouldn’t be too lengthy earlier than we study extra.
