## Key points

- New trailer follows courier Bryan during Raccoon City’s zombie crisis.
- It includes a Resident Evil 4 and 5 ammunition reference.
- Zach Cregger directs and co-writes the film.

## Summary

A new trailer for the forthcoming live-action Resident Evil film introduces Bryan, a medical courier whose delivery to Raccoon City General Hospital becomes entangled with a zombie outbreak. The footage suggests the film will draw on the games’ setting and lore, while adding its own protagonist and story within the broader Resident Evil universe.

Bryan is shown delivering organs, then travelling with a mysterious package after apparently striking a zombie with his vehicle, before finding a double-barrelled shotgun in an abandoned house. The trailer includes a reference for fans: its Heavy Field Buckshot ammunition matches shotgun shells seen in Resident Evil 4 and 5. The film is written and directed by Zach Cregger, with John Wick writer Shay Hatten co-writing.
