RESIDENT EVIL Reboot Director Promises Movie Will Feel Like the Games — GeekTyrant
The Resident Evil franchise has been a staple in the horror gaming world for decades, terrifying fans with everything from classic zombies to creepy mold-infected families. Over the years, Hollywood has tried to adapt the series with mixed results. Now, Zach Cregger, the filmmaker behind Barbarian and the upcoming Weapons , is taking a swing at the franchise with a brand-new reboot. While details about the new Resident Evil movie are still under wraps, it's expected to start filming soon and hit theaters next fall. Fans have been curious about what direction Cregger will take, especially since previous adaptations have drifted far from the source material. During an interview with ComicBook, Cregger opened up about why he wanted to take on the project—and his answer should get longtime fans hyped. The filmmaker said: 'Because I love the games. I played all of the games. I played Resident Evil 4 a hundred times through. I'm obsessed with it. And so, I just want to tell a story that feels like it's honoring the experience you get when you play the games. 'I haven't seen the movies, that's just not my thing. But the games are my thing. That's just a playground I just love….I think the movie is going to rip. I think it's going to rip.' It's wild to think Cregger hasn't seen any of the previous Resident Evil films, but honestly, that might work in his favor. The previous movies were financially successful, sure, but they were messy and often unrecognizable to fans of the games. You can see Cregger passion for the series and there's no doubt that he's aiming to capture the real Resident Evil experience on the big screen. He's also hinted that while the movie will take some liberties with the lore, the goal is authenticity. Recent rumors suggest the story might take place on the outskirts of Raccoon City during the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3, as an outbreak plays a big part in the plot. The new Resident Evil movie is set to hit theaters on September 18, 2026, and if Cregger's enthusiasm is any indication, this could finally be the adaptation fans have been waiting for.

When 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' 2025 Movie Will Be Available to Stream and How to Watch
The summer of 2025 is a great time to be a horror fan. Recent releases include the franchise sequels Final Destination Bloodlines and 28 Years Later, and the new stories Weapons and Together are still on the way. And there's also a blast from late '90s past: the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel, which, somewhat confusingly, has the same title as the original. I Know What You Did Last Summer is the fourth movies in the franchise, following the original, the second movie I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and the straight-to-video I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, which didn't feature any of the original cast and doesn't really count, tbh. But if you love the first movie, then you're probably excited to see Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr.) 28 years later (spooky!) as they reprise their roles. The plot's similar—a new group of friends accidentally kill someone with a car only to unleash the wrath of a serial killer—but Julie and Ray are the wise, older survivors now. Wanna watch? Here's when and where you can check it out. I Know What You Did Last Summer hits U.S. cinemas on July 18, 2025—which really means July 17 for a lot of theaters with the movie actually premiering on Thursday rather than Friday. Just look up showtimes at your local cinema and buy tickets online—from the theater directly or through Fandango—or in person. And get popcorn. It's a slasher movie. You need something to nervously munch. BUY TICKETS ON FANDANGO You'll have to wait a little while if you want to watch the new I Know What You Did Last Summer at home since it is only being released in theaters at first. Eventually, it will probably show up on Netflix due to distributor Sony's deal with the streamer. Sony releases tend to debut on Netflix three to four months after the theatrical premiere. So, for I Know What You Did Last Summer, this means you can expect it around October or November. (Mid-October would be perfect timing for Halloween, so that's my guess!) Before Netflix, though, you'll probably be able to rent or buy the movie on a service like Amazon Prime Video for around $20 to $25. But, hey, that's more than a movie ticket (well, barely, for some places), so you might just want to make your way to the theater, if you can. And if you can stomach seeing "the Fisherman" killer on the big screen.

WEAPONS Director Teases Secret Cast and Wild Twists - 'I Probably Shouldn't Even Say That' — GeekTyrant
Zach Cregger knows how to pull the rug out from under audiences. After Barbarian blindsided viewers with its unpredictable structure and grotesque surprises, Cregger's next horror outing, Weapons , is shaping up to be ambitious, and even more secretive. In a recent interview with SFX Magazine, the director teased what's coming in his next film, saying: 'I've got to be so careful about spoilers, but here's what I will say. This movie has more twists and turns than Barbarian, but what it doesn't do, very intentionally, is I never abandon the audience.' The marketing for Weapons , from its ominous teaser to the unsettling posters, has been intentionally cryptic. The story revolves around a small town where all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, leaving the town rattled and reaching for answers. But if you think the mystery ends there, think again. According to Cregger, what we've seen so far barely scratches the surface. 'There's a couple of names that aren't in the cast announcement, and there's a couple of [actors] that I think people have not realised what a big deal their characters will be. 'That's great, and I probably shouldn't even say that, but there are some actors that... it's amazing what they do… There are seven main characters in this movie and the trailer, we're leaning into two of those. But there are truly seven main characters.' Well, that's interesting! I also love the fact that what we've seen from the trailers gives us the bare minimum of what this movie entails, and I can't wait to see how this dark horror story unfolds. The announced cast already includes heavy hitters like Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, and Alden Ehrenreich, alongside Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan. But, Cregger is intentionally hiding sonme other major players. And just like with Barbarian, the trailer might be a masterclass in misdirection. Cregger explains: 'The engine of the children leaving is the engine of the whole movie, but the mystery is not the engine of the whole movie.' So there's a much larger narrative hiding beneath the surface. This movie is going to get really interesting! Weapons opens in theaters on August 8th, and if Cregger's words are any indication, this one's going to be a wild, secret-packed ride.

Horror blockbuster poster has sent fans crazy ahead of a huge new movie release
A strange film poster resembling a children's drawing has sent fans crazy, as speculation ramps up to new levels ahead of the release of Zach Creggar's new horror film Weapons Horror film fans have been going crazy after the release of one of the 'most interesting film posters of all time', sparking masses of speculation and hype around an upcoming blockbuster. There have been some incredible film posters over the years, whether it's the iconic Uma Thurman smoking a cigarette on the Pulp Fiction flyer or Marlon Brando in the background for The Godfather's striking promotion. A solid movie poster can make or break a film's promotion even lining walls in university halls for decades after its release. But one new film has caught the attention of cinephiles around the world for its distinctly unique take. With no floating head of the film's big star, no dramatic tagline or title, and no fancy graphics - you'd easily walk past this poster thinking it was something else entirely. Resembling a young children's drawing of their family, the new poster for Weapons shows an almost scrunched-up drawing of two parents labelled 'Mom' and 'Dad' and a young child in the middle labelled 'me'. While the poster seems completely innocent at first glance, when you learn about the film's plot, the poster takes on a much more sinister meaning. According to the trailer, the film follows the mysterious disappearance of a group of schoolchildren. At 2.17am all 17 children from Mrs Gandy's class woke up, stepped out onto the streets and walked away never to return. In the aftermath of their strange night-time walk their parents try to uncover the sinister truth behind their disappearance and bring them home for good.

Warner Bros gives only a brief explanation of what audiences can expect, they said: "When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanishes on the same night and at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance." Little else is known about what will play in cinemas, with many of the film's details being shrouded in mystery. Barbarian director Zach Creggar created even more mystery as he told Entertainment Weekly: 'I didn't have an outline. I didn't know what it was about. It was just like, let the movie show itself to me. I want to watch the movie as I'm writing it.' The film is set to star Avengers Endgame 's Josh Brolin and Ozark's Julia Garner along with appearances from Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong and Amy Madigan. Just weeks away from its release on August 8, fans have been crazy with anticipation with the bizarre poster only adding to its mystery. Taking to Reddit one user posted: "This film has some of the best marketing I've seen in recent years. If it sucks I'll be disappointed," while another added: "Honestly. One of the most interesting horror posters I've seen in years".
