Resident Evil is returning to the big screen, with Barbarian director Zach Cregger behind the camera. The film was just announced earlier this year, but the director still took the stage at Sony's CinemaCon presentation to tease what we can expect from his version. "There's a moment that comes in every moment of every Resident Evil games where you find yourself standing in the mouth of a dark passageway. One shot in the is left, you know that something horrible is waiting for you in that darkness, that awful moment where you have to will yourself. That's something that every Resident Evil game has perfected and has kept me and millions of other players returning to the series for decades. My movie will be built in the spirit of those games and follows one central protagonist from point A to point B, as they descend deeper into hell."
