Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil Reboot Sets October Prague Shoot for 2026 Release

Cregger frames the film as an original, game‑faithful survival horror that builds a new lead inside Capcom’s world.

Overview

  • Cameras are slated to roll in Prague in October with production running through late January 2026, targeting a September 18, 2026 theatrical debut.
  • Cregger says the story is set in the games’ universe and follows a single protagonist on a point‑A‑to‑point‑B descent into terror.
  • He positions the project near Resident Evil 2 and 3 in setting while aiming for the tone of Resident Evil 4.
  • He notes he has never seen the previous live‑action films and emphasizes fidelity to the feel and pacing of the games.
  • Official casting has not been announced—reports linking Austin Abrams remain unconfirmed—and Cregger separately downplays DC‑script rumors, saying it is not a Joker‑Harley project and he has not spoken with James Gunn.
