The new Resident Evil film adaptation will unexpectedly take on comedic overtones

This year, more details emerged about the new Resident Evil film adaptation being directed by Zach Cregger. Filming has already completed, and those involved in the project are gradually sharing their impressions of the film's development, scheduled for release next year.

Actress Kali Reis, who plays a supporting role, said the film combines elements of horror and humor in an unexpected way. She noted that the interpretation of the story will be unconventional and may surprise fans of the original games in particular. The film is based on a unique journey through the insane world of Resident Evil, where a tense atmosphere coexists with an ironic take on the events.

Zach Cregger has previously emphasized his affection for the series and admitted that he played through the fourth installment multiple times, which significantly influenced his approach to the adaptation. This allowed the filmmakers to maintain the spirit of the original source material while keeping the film closer to the game universe than previous adaptations. The world premiere of the new version of Resident Evil is scheduled for September 18, 2026.
