If you were curious about just how filming was going with Zach Cregger‘s upcoming Resident Evil film, recent set photos from Prague have leaked online, showing off a snowy Raccoon City. It’s not much, but it certainly hints at Cregger’s fresh take on the series.
Courtesy of The Prague Reporter, filming kicked off in Czechia last month, and is slated to run through January. The photos were taken in the Karlín neighborhood of Prague 8 between October 29 and November 2, during the filming of a scene involving “snow, gunfire, explosions, and fast driving.”
Vehicles on the location shoot featured Colorado license plates, which would be the first time that Raccoon City was nailed down in terms of its specific location in the midwestern United States. A Martin County Sheriff’s vehicle with Colorado plates was also spotted, although a Martin County doesn’t exist in real-life Colorado.
Plot details are still under wraps, though Cregger has stated that his film will be “a love letter to the games”, and compares it to Evil Dead 2 in terms of its energy. According to an interview with the Double Toasted YouTube channel, Cregger says that his film “lives” in the world of Resident Evil 2 and 3, but his adaptation “adheres more to the tone of [Resident Evil 4].”
Resident Evil hits theaters on September 18, 2026. The film is co-produced by Sony’s TriStar Pictures, Constantin Film, and PlayStation Productions, and stars Kali Reis (“True Detective: Night Country”), Zach Cherry (“Severance”) and Johnno Wilson (“Twisted Metal”), Austin Abrams (Weapons) and Paul Walter Hauser (The Naked Gun).
