Resident Evil film trailer reveals new survival‑horror reboot by Zach Cregger
Sony Pictures released the official trailer for its upcoming Resident Evil film, directed and co‑written by Zach Cregger with Shay Hatten. The movie stars Austin Abrams as Bryan, a medical courier who becomes trapped in a night‑long T‑virus outbreak in Raccoon City. The trailer emphasizes relentless, nonstop survival‑horror rather than conventional zombie crowds, showcasing mutated “weird creature” mutations, body‑horror gore, and numerous game‑era easter eggs such as safe‑room lockers, a typewriter and shotgun ammo specific to Resident Evil 4. Production credits include Sony Pictures, Constantin Film, PlayStation Productions and other partners; the picture runs about 95 minutes and will open in IMAX and standard theaters worldwide on 17‑18 September 2026 (dates vary by region). A behind‑the‑scenes note from the set revealed that Abrams narrowly avoided a fatal accident when a practical blood‑bag prop fell during a chase sequence. The trailer has been released across multiple markets (Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Brazil, Chile, Germany, France, Japan, and others), generating strong fan interest and confirming the film’s aim to deliver a fresh, game‑faithful experience while standing apart from earlier adaptations.
