## Summary

A new trailer for Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil film highlights two references to the video games, despite the director’s adaptation following an original story rather than recreating familiar characters or plotlines. The details suggest the film aims to retain elements of the series’ survival-horror identity while remaining separate from Capcom’s established canon.

The trailer shows a typewriter, recalling the games’ save points and their usually safe rooms, and features Heavy Field shotgun shells resembling ammunition from Resident Evil 4. Earlier footage also included a green herb reference; fan reactions remain mixed, with some comparing the film to 28 Days Later while others welcome a fresh approach. The film, starring Austin Abrams as Bryan, is scheduled for cinemas on 18 September 2026.
