Upcoming Resident Evil Movie Images Leaked
The aforementioned leaked images from the set of Zach Cregger’s upcoming Resident Evil movie can be seen below.
The images offer a first look at the latest live action rendition of Racoon City. One of the pictures reveals a map of the city, presumably at the RPD station.
During a recent interview with Double Toasted, director Zach Cregger opened up about his vision for the upcoming Resident Evil film. The project, which began filming in October 2025, is the second attempt at rebooting the live-action franchise after 2021’s Welcome to Raccoon City. He highlighted that his adaptation will stay true to the tone and pacing of the games rather than the previous film series. “All I can say is that it is true to the experience of the games,” he explained. “It follows one protagonist from point A to point B as they just descend deeper and deeper and deeper into hell. I just feel like I know how that pacing can go and it’s inherently cinematic.” He added that while some fans had hoped his next project would be wholly original, he believes this film will still feel like his own creation, with a distinctive sensibility and tone.
A longtime fan of the franchise, Cregger admitted he has never seen any of the prior films, which he views as an advantage. “I imagine that if there are people out there that are just raid fans of the movie franchise, they’re probably not really prepared for what I’m going to be doing. But I think the people that are fans of the games are probably going to be stoked,” he said.
