Cregger says he has ideas for a Resident Evil sequel
The director's next film will be the original sci-fi movie The Flood, set for release on August 11, 2028, but he is not ruling out a return to Raccoon City.
Zach Cregger, who directed the new Resident Evil film adaptation, said he has ideas for a possible sequel, according to polygon.com. The film is in theaters now, with Austin Abrams playing a medical courier travelling to Raccoon City, a city overrun by zombies.
Cregger said his next film is not a Resident Evil movie. That project is The Flood, an original sci-fi story set up at Amblin Entertainment and slated for release on August 11, 2028. He left open the possibility of returning to the franchise later.
The new Resident Evil is released by Sony Pictures and is based on Capcom's game series. Early tracking suggests a domestic opening weekend between $35 million and $50 million, which would be a franchise record.
