Overview

• Zach Cregger will write and direct an entirely original Resident Evil film distinct from the Milla Jovovich-led franchise entries.
• The screenplay, co-written with Shay Hatten, promises a “fresh, edgy and weird” survival-horror narrative that adheres closely to the games’ lore.
• Production is led by Constantin Film with backing from PlayStation Productions, Vertigo Entertainment and producers Robert Kulzer, Roy Lee and Miri Yoon.
• The story centers on a single new protagonist navigating a gauntlet of terror rather than revisiting established game characters or storylines.
• Sony has scheduled the reboot for a US theatrical release on September 18, 2026.
