New Resident Evil Movie Coming
Till this time, Resident Evil franchise got a lot of new adaptations, most of them seen as a failure by fans but Milla Jovovich played movies got big box office revenue. Constantin Film, which has produced live-action Resident Evil movies since the ’90s, will be producing and co-financing this entry, and longtime Resident Evil movie distributor Sony Pictures is involved. Because of these connections, there could be some well-placed callbacks to previous hits. Vertigo Entertainment, Miri Yoon, and PlayStation Productions are all attached as producers, with Nicole Brown of Columbia Pictures set to oversee the production.
Deadline reports that Zach Cregger’s upcoming Resident Evil movie has locked in a September 18, 2026 theatrical release date. This news could mean that fans will see plenty of details about the film showing up in the next few months. There are plenty of routes this movie could choose to introduce audiences to a new cinematic vision for the Resident Evil franchise. Reports note that this film will be going for “the original Capcom game’s horror roots.” Constantin Film producer Robert Kulzer has expressed that it will be “an irresistible feat” coming from Cregger.
Based on this information, it seems like the new Resident Evil movie will revisit the Spencer Mansion incident with Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. A setting like this could be a great way for the Barbarian director to inject his own sense of style into the scenario while leaning on the biggest strengths of the original Resident Evil. Barbarian was a hit among horror fans, emphasizing claustrophobic tension within a dilapidated house that leads to a sprawling mystery.
Barbarian draws similarities to various entries in the Resident Evil franchise, and that might be intentional. When asked for comments on the recent news, Cregger told Deadline that he’s “a rabid fan” of Resident Evil games. Because Cregger is so enthusiastic about this franchise, it seems reasonable to expect a few Easter eggs hidden throughout the movie for devoted gamers. Fans can look forward to next September for the film’s launch.
