The new Resident Evil by the director of Évanouis reveals a terrifying trailer
A reboot by Zach Cregger carried by Austin Abrams.
The saga starts from scratch.
Five years later Welcome to Raccoon Citywhich tried a faithful approach to the games to please the fans, resident Evil returns to the cinema in a brand new adaptation which will distance itself from the lore from Capcom’s horror franchise, to delve into raw horror.
Sony Pictures has released the first images of resident Evila new live-action film which will offer a new story: Bryan, a medical courier, finds himself trapped in the heart of a nightmarish night where everything changes. A descent into hell, punctuated by a race for survival in the face of total chaos. The trailer introduces Austin Abrams (seen in Euphoria) in the main role. Stuck in an infested city, he must escape a horde of rampaging mutant zombies. A tense and ultra-violent overview, which promises a more raw and immersive rereading of the saga, in the survival horror spirit of the original games. But without Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, or any character from the games. The trailer, in any case, promises a real horror film but risks confusing gamerswho will find very few references to sink their teeth into.
For this really scary shift, the studio relied on the new darling of the genre: Zach Cregger, who stood out with Barbarous in 2022 and which was a hit in 2025 with Faintedhad his hands free to resume resident Evil in his sauce.
He directed and co-wrote the film with Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapter 4). The cast is rounded out by Zach Cherry, Kali Reis and Paul Walter Hauser.
This new resident Evil in theaters in France on September 16.
