10 Upcoming Movie Reboots Literally Nobody Is Asking For

8. Resident Evil

Screen Gems

The Resident Evil franchise evidently wasn't everybody's cup of tea, with the highest-rated installment currently boasting a Rotten Tomatoes score of 37%, but you can't deny that the string of video game adaptations had a surprisingly large fanbase after earning over $1.2bn at the box office.

It seemed as though the franchise was set for retirement, or at least you would think so given that the sixth movie was literally called The Final Chapter, but the studios simply can't hold their wad when it comes to properties that stand to make them a lot of money.

Only six months after The Final Chapter was released, it was announced that a reboot was already in the works with 47 Meters Down's Johannes Roberts slated to write and direct. So far, all we've heard is that the Resident Evil reboot will be venturing straight into the horror genre and be a more faithful translation of the games, but that doesn't mean that anybody cares about the resurrection of a series that was largely panned to begin with.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
