'Weapons' Actor Cast in Zach Cregger's 'Evil Dead 2'-Style 'Resident Evil' Reboot

Barbarian directorZach Cregger isn't afraid to start showing his cards for his upcoming video game-based movie, and fans are loving it. Hot on the heels of the wild success of his latest release, the supernatural horror film Weapons, the multi-hyphenate is flying high into the production of his next project. It's not every day that a director reveals their specific ideas around an upcoming film, especially not when it's a reboot of one of the most popular horror franchises — and in this case, also one of the most popular horror game franchise. The plethora of films based on the long-running Resident Evil video gamesdon't have the best reputation, but Cregger is determined to change that with his upcoming Resident Evil, which he's revealed will be a lot like the beloved Evil Dead 2. The latest news is even more encouraging: The film's also set to star one of the funniest actors from Weapons.
