Sony Unveils Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil Footage at CinemaCon, Sets Sept. 18, 2026 Release

The director pitched a lean, game‑inspired survival horror built around one protagonist.

Overview

  • Sony screened the first look at Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil at CinemaCon on Monday in Las Vegas, keeping the teaser off the internet for now.
  • A new studio synopsis confirms Austin Abrams plays Bryan, a medical courier thrust into a single night of nonstop survival.
  • Cregger told attendees he aimed to capture the games’ atmosphere and pacing with no time jumps or shifting perspectives.
  • Journalists who saw the teaser reported a creature‑packed, high‑tension reel and early reactions were broadly positive.
  • The film was co‑written by Cregger and Shay Hatten, co‑financed by Constantin Film, features Paul Walter Hauser, Zach Cherry, Kali Reis and Johnno Wilson, and follows past screen versions with a fresh, director‑driven approach.
