Columbia Pictures and Constantin Film, in association with TriStar Pictures, have released a teaser trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil reboot, from filmmaker Zach Cregger (Weapons, Barbarian).
Based on the video game series by Capcom, the film marks the second reboot and eighth instalment in the Resident Evil film franchise. In September 2025, Cregger said he had not seen any of the previous film adaptations and implied that the new entry would draw more directly from the video games, particularly Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, and Resident Evil 4.
Directed by Cregger from a screenplay co-written with Shay Hatten (Day Shift, Army of the Dead), the story follows Bryan (Austin Abrams – Weapons), a medical courier who becomes caught in a rapidly escalating night of chaos and survival after an unexpected series of events overtakes the city.
