Resident Evil returns to theaters with a fresh new story, and a teaser has now 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, particularly its slow pace and the way players have to deal with limited supplies.
The star wants the film to feel tense and real, just like the gaming experience.
Cregger also talked about a scary moment from Resident Evil Village, saying it was so intense he had to stop playing.
But that level of fear is something he hopes to bring into the film.
Actor Austin Abrams plays the lead role as his character is described as an ordinary person dealing with extreme events.
The film will still contain small details and references to fans, including ideas inspired by Resident Evil 4.
The film is set to hit theaters on September 18, generating excitement among longtime fans of the series.
