I’m absolutely thrilled to share the news about the upcoming Resident Evil movie! After seeing Weapons, I could not be more excited to see Zach Cregger take the reins and expand this incredible world. The teaser trailer just dropped, and let me tell you, it is an absolute adrenaline rush!
Cregger is bringing an entirely original story that honors the intensity, terror, and mystery of the games while building something completely fresh for the big screen. The best part? You do not need to be a die-hard fan or have seen the previous films to dive right in—it is completely accessible for everyone while still thrilling long-time fans.
The premise follows Bryan, played by Austin Abrams (whom you might recognize from Weapons), a medical courier who finds himself in a non-stop, action-packed race for survival as a single horrifying night descends into chaos.
