resident Evil is returning to theaters with a new story and a teaser has given fans their first look at what’s coming next.
Director Zach Cregger has shared that the film will not repeat old stories from the games.
And instead, it will follow an entirely new character trying to survive a dangerous situation in Raccoon City.
Cregger said he was inspired by Resident Evil 2, especially its slow pace and the way players have to manage limited supplies.
The star wants the film to feel tense and real, just like the game experience.
Cregger also talked about a scary moment from Resident Evil Village, saying it was so intense he had to stop playing.
However, that level of fear is something he hopes to incorporate into the film.
Actor Austin Abrams plays the lead role, as his character is described as an ordinary person who faces extreme events.
The film will still include small details and references for fans, including ideas inspired by Resident Evil 4.
The film will be released in theaters on September 18, generating excitement among long-time fans of the series.
