Test yourself on Resident Evil — cast, crew and the story behind the film.
A new cinematic adaptation of the popular "Resident Evil" video game franchise is set to debut, directed by Zach Cregger, known for his work on the horror film "Barbarian". This upcoming movie, scheduled for release on September 18, 2026, marks the second reboot of the film series and is distinct from the prior films produced by Paul W. S. Anderson. Cregger was announced as the director and co-writer in January 2025, with the film being co-financed and produced by Constantin Film, PlayStation Productions, and Vertigo Entertainment.
The film presents an original story within the "Resident Evil" universe, not directly adapting existing game narratives or characters like Leon. Instead, it aims to capture the essence and experience of the games, specifically drawing inspiration from "Resident Evil 2", "Resident Evil 3: Nemesis", and "Resident Evil 4". The plot follows a medical courier named Bryan, portrayed by Austin Abrams, as he navigates a viral outbreak of infected monsters in Raccoon City, paralleling events from "Resident Evil 2" but set in a modern era.
Cregger has stated his intention for the film to be a "love letter" to the games, focusing on the survival horror elements, dread, and tension that define the series, rather than action. The cast also includes Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, and Paul Walter Hauser in supporting roles. This new "Resident Evil" film is anticipated to offer a fresh perspective on the beloved horror property.
