Movie's arms master Zach Cregger unveils Resident Evil production without prior film viewings: "Those passionate about the game series are likely to be thrilled"
In an exciting development for horror movie fans, it has been announced that Zach Cregger, director of Barbarian and Weapons, is working on a new Resident Evil movie. The film, set for release in 2026, will star Austin Abrams as the lead character.
Cregger's new project departs from the inconsistent action movies that have previously made up the Resident Evil film franchise. Instead, the movie follows one protagonist from point A to point B as they descend deeper and deeper into a harrowing situation.
Cregger, who claims to have played "many thousands and thousands of hours of Resident Evil," has not seen any Resident Evil movies before working on this project. However, he assures fans that his interpretation of the new Resident Evil movie promises a "much bigger scale" than his previous works, Barbarian and Weapons.
The movie takes place in the world of the games and is true to the experience of the franchise. Cregger believes that the people who are fans of the Resident Evil games will be "stoked" about his new movie. He also suggests that fans of the Resident Evil movie franchise might not be prepared for his new interpretation.
Abrams will star as the original protagonist in the movie, which is set to release in 2026. The film is not directly compared to the existing Resident Evil films in terms of quality or consistency. It is also not mentioned to be part of the list of the 30 best horror movies, although a suggested list was provided in a separate article.
Cregger's new Resident Evil movie is not a remake or a continuation of the existing film series. Instead, it is unlike any Resident Evil movie that has been made before. Fans of the franchise are eagerly awaiting more details about the plot and content of the movie.
In conclusion, the new Resident Evil movie, directed by Zach Cregger and starring Austin Abrams, promises to be a fresh take on the popular horror franchise. With its bigger scale and commitment to the source material, fans of the Resident Evil games can look forward to a thrilling new addition to the series in 2026.
