Description:
Resident Evil fans could be getting the adaptation of their dreams, as Zach 
Cregger's new movie looks very promising.

FULL STORY
Zach Cregger is refusing to rest on his
laurels after the success of Weapons , as we now have a terrifying trailer 
for his take on the Resident Evil franchise. 

The new movie arrives in theaters from September 18, and the plot teases: "In 
an all-new story, Resident Evil follows Bryan (Austin Abrams), a medical 
courier who unwittingly finds himself in an action-packed, non-stop race for 
survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos." It 
seems that Cregger's Resident Evil won't be a direct remake of any of the 
games, a strategy that has worked well for other adaptations such as Prime 
Video' s Fallout .

Take a look at the new trailer below.

What else do we know about Zach Cregger's Resident Evil?

As noted above, it doesn't seem like Resident Evil will adapt 
any of the core characters seen in the video game series. Whether or not some 
familiar faces will show up remains a mystery, but the protagonist for 
Cregger's take is medical courier Bryan, who is a brand new addition to the 
franchise. 

So far, so good, especially Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City was a 
flop, and the cancellation of the 2022 Netflix television series angered 
fans. 

Austin Abrams stars as Bryan, and there's an excellent cast joining him 
including Paul Walter Hauser, Zach Cherry, Kali Reis and Johnno Wilson.

I'm going to be first in line for this new horror movie, especially 
considering how impressed I was by Weapons . Finally, Resident Evil fans 
could be getting the adaptation of their dreams.
