Still, director Zach Cregger has promised fans that his film features a bunch of Easter eggs, and the latest trailer includes some of those.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It follows medical courier Bryan (Austin Abrams), who takes on a risky delivery job outside of Raccoon City. Of course, things go very wrong. He encounters nasty creatures and fights to survive in a seemingly abandoned farmhouse.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RESIDENT EVIL \u2013 Official Trailer (4K)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mNd1gb19A-c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I don&#8217;t think this is quite as scary as the first trailer, but there are still a few unnerving beats, like when Bryan returns to a blood-splattered hospital and sees a very small hand, possibly belonging to a zombie newborn, emerging from a cot. There are several fun nods to the games, including a typewriter in the farmhouse, a box of shotgun shells and the literal medical pack that Bryan is carrying. The trailer evokes a similar survival horror tone to the games too.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We won&#8217;t have to wait too much longer until to see the film. <em>Resident Evil<\/em> will hit theaters on September 18.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2221678\/new-resident-evil-movie-trailer-fun-nods-to-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The film, from Weapons director Zach Cregger, hits theaters on September 18. &#13;&#13;&#13; &#13; Sony Pictures Entertainment The upcoming Resident Evil movie gives the series&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":71295,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[503,198,321,391,10635,1543,12177,4418,2536],"class_list":["post-71293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-evil","tag-fun","tag-games","tag-latest","tag-lots","tag-movie","tag-nods","tag-resident","tag-trailer","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=71293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71293\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/71295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=71293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=71293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=71293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
