Resident Evil-filmene endte der med at være ret mange af, men de havde alle det til fælles at kritikere samt fans af spilserien ikke var synderligt vilde med dem. Dog er denne serie nu afsluttet, og der er allerede planer om et reboot, en helt ny serie af film, der angiveligvis vil lægge sig mere op af Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
Manuskriptforfatter Greg Russo står for at levere manuskriptet sammen med gysermesteren James Wan, og i et interview med Comic Book afslører han inspirationen bag den kommende film:
"Obviously I'm a huge fan of the franchise so to work on that was a lot of fun. And they've made six films before so when you come back to that and reboot it, you wanna do something different and not just rehash. For me it was very clear cut that I wanted to go back and make it scary again like a horror film in terms of the classic James Wan style so that was the pitch, going back and looking what made the games scary in the first place so yeah Resident Evil 7 was a bit of a touchstone for my draft."
Det vides endnu ikke hvornår filmen får premiere.
