Overview

• Principal photography for the reboot started in Prague, with shooting on city streets and at Barrandov Studios.
• Austin Abrams has been confirmed as the lead, portraying an original character rather than any established game protagonist.
• Zach Cregger and Shay Hatten co-wrote the screenplay, with Constantin Film, Robert Kulzer, Roy Lee, Miri Yoon and PlayStation Productions producing under Columbia Pictures.
• The film is positioned as an original story within the Resident Evil universe, drawing on Sam Raimi-inspired horror without retreading Leon Kennedy’s arc.
• Separately, Cregger’s Henchmen DC script and early Warner Bros./New Line talks for a Weapons prequel remain in exploratory stages.
