Overview
- Sony screened the first trailer at CinemaCon on Monday, confirmed a Sept. 18, 2026 theatrical release, and named a cast led by Austin Abrams with Paul Walter Hauser, Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, and Johnno Wilson.
- The official synopsis introduces Abrams as Bryan, a medical courier caught in a nonstop, one‑night fight to survive as the world around him unravels.
- Footage showed stark, snowy visuals and creatures on the prowl, including a rooftop zombie swarm, bodies slamming into cars, and a pale monster in a sewer.
- Cregger said the film sticks to a single point of view to mirror the games’ pacing and dread, noting he co‑wrote with Shay Hatten as Constantin Film helped finance the production.
- This marks a fresh big‑screen reboot of Capcom’s 1996 franchise after six Paul W. S. Anderson films and the 2021 relaunch Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.
