Sony revealed the first trailer for the new Resident Evil movie Monday night at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, showing it only to theater owners and industry professionals attending the event. The trailer isn’t available online yet, but it’s expected to appear in the coming weeks. Journalists who saw it say the footage suggests a scary, creature-filled horror experience with the distinctive style of director Craig Cregger. Before showing the trailer, Cregger spoke to the audience, explaining he’s a huge Resident Evil fan and intentionally made the movie a straightforward story, following a single character through one terrifying night without flashbacks or changes in perspective.
