Zach Cregger's Resident Evil: A New Dawn

0:00It's April 30th. Entertainment and celebrity news today starts now, AI powered in Spotlight Ready. I'm Cory with the Story. Zach Kregger is diving into the Resident Evil world with a fresh movie, and the first trailer just dropped. It's a standalone story following Brian, a medical courier played by Austin Abrams, who gets pulled into a non-stop survival chase during one wild, chaotic night. Sony and Columbia Pictures have it set for release on September 18th. Kregger built his name on original hits like Barbarian, which blew up out of nowhere, and weapons, his Oscar-winning thriller that raked in, too. $170 million worldwide. This feels like an unexpected pivot from his own scripted gyms. He's a die-hard fan who sunk decades into the zombie games, calling them super cinematic. Earlier this month at Cinemacon, he shared a first look and said the game's vibe runs deep in his version. The cast brings Abrams from weapons alongside Zach Cherry, Cali Race, and Paul Walter Hauser.
