New Resident Evil film will be "unlike any of the previous" adaptations, says director, as Euphoria actor eyed for starring role


The upcoming Resident Evil movie from Zach Cregger will be "unlike any of the previous films" in the franchise.

Watch on YouTube"There's a moment that comes in almost every Resident Evil game where you find yourself in a dark passageway, your health is almost zero and there's no way around," Cregger said (thanks, IGN). As to who that central protagonist could be, The Hollywood Reporter states Euphoria's Austin Abrams (pictured below) is being eyed up for a role in the upcoming film, although nothing has been finalised. Constantin Film is producing and co-financing Cregger's upcoming Resident Evil adaptation, with PlayStation Productions also on board.
