The upcoming Resident Evil reboot will be executive produced by James Wan and based on a screenplay from Greg Russo.
At its core, the Resident Evil video games are about survival horror, and the latest title in the series, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, is evocative of that notion.
Earlier this week, German production company Constantin Films confirmed plans to reboot the Resident Evil franchise, based on the video game series of the same name, which leaves their currently planned live-action series in limbo.
In addition to directing Aquaman, Wan is also producing another video game movie reboot: Mortal Kombat, which is where he developed a working relationship with Russo.
