Summary
- New Resident Evil film trailer unveiled at CinemaCon 2026.
- Director Cregger aims for cinematic accuracy to the games.
- Film starring Austin Abrams hits theaters September 18, 2026.
The trailer for the highly anticipated Resident Evil film adaptation has debuted at CinemaCon, offering a glimpse into its horror-filled world. Director Johannes Cregger, a self-proclaimed fan of the video game series, emphasized his commitment to reflecting the games' natural cinematic qualities and atmospheric pacing.
This new installment, slated for release on September 18, 2026, seeks to immerse audiences in a story mirroring the intense survival horror of the games. Cregger, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Shay Hatten, highlighted that "If you love the games, you will feel their influence everywhere in the movie."
The trailer showcases a tense narrative featuring medical courier Bryan, played by Austin Abrams, caught in a night of escalating chaos and survival. Abrams, known for his work on "Euphoria" and "Wolfs," joins a cast that includes Paul Walter Hauser and Zach Cherry.
This project marks a fresh attempt at adapting the popular franchise, following previous film series that achieved significant box office success and a less fortunate reboot in 2021. Cregger's vision prioritizes a direct adaptation of the game's core elements.
