New Resident Evil Movie: Zombie Chaos Ahead

0:00On April 30th, the resident evil franchise is firing back up with a fresh movie directed by Zach Kregger, the guy behind that breakout horror hit, Weapons. The trailer just dropped, showing Austin Abrams as Brian, a medical courier thrown into a wild night of zombie chaos and survival. He's joined by Zach Cherry, Cali Race, and Paul Walter Hauser. This one's hitting theaters on September 18th, 2026, from Columbia Pictures. Kregger wrote the script with Shea Haddon, and is producing alongside a team, including Robert Cullser and Roy Lee. Coming off Weapons, which smashed over $270 million on a $38 million budget, and snagged an Oscar for Amy. Madigan, he's got serious cred in horror right now. The series has a stacked history of live-action flicks, starting back in 2002, with Paul W. S. Anderson's originals through 20. 2017, plus a 2021 prequel, and Netflix shows that didn't quite stick. All inspired by those classic video games was zombie roots tracing to an old Japanese flick.
