Resident Evil is an upcoming 2026[2] film by Constantin Film, Vertigo Entertainment and PlayStation Productions. The film will be directed by Zach Cregger and written by Cregger and Shay Hatten.[3] This entry is the second attempt at a reboot of the titular live-action film franchise following Welcome to Raccoon City (2021) and is set to begin filming in 2025 with a planned release of September 18, 2026. The international distributor has not yet been confirmed, though Constantin and Metropolitan FilmExport have pre-existing agreements to handle German and French territories. Unlike previous films which have all followed an ensemble cast, Resident Evil will primarily focus on a single protagonist's journey through Raccoon City.[4]

According to the creators, the film will focus on the story of new characters in an original setting, as they felt that the Resident Evil fandom already had enough content with original characters thanks to the games and they wanted to offer them something new.[5]

Summary[]

Bryan (Austin Abrams) works as a medical courier, transporting organs between hospitals for transplant operations. Late one Winter night he receives a job in taking an organ to Raccoon General Hospital in Raccoon City, Colorado. While driving over the mountains he becomes distracted and hits a woman. As he tries to take her to the hospital, he realises the townspeople are beginning to transform into grotesque creatures killing one another for food.
