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.

NASCAR's New San Diego Street Race Channels A Bit Of Top Gun Energy

(Photo by Jeff Gritchen/MediaNews Group/Orange County Register via Getty Images) In yet another case of the latest worst kept secret in sports, NASCAR confirmed Wednesday they will stage a street race in San Diego next June. But this won't be just another street race, something NASCAR showed they could pull off in Chicago. The sport will be trading checkered flags for sea legs and not only stage a street race but for the first time a race on an active military base. The event will be held on Naval Base Coronado, an operational Navy complex better known for launching aircraft carriers and training elite forces than hosting NASCAR stock cars. Until now. The three-day event will feature all three of NASCAR's national series and will no doubt have quite a Top Gun vibe. After all, some of the most famous Top Gun scenes were filmed in the same place that Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott will be fighting for spots in less than a year. It's all part of the United States Navy's 250th anniversary celebration. 'This is a powerful tribute to the values we share: grit, teamwork, and love of country,' said Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan. 'From the flight deck to the finish line, this collaboration reflects the operational intensity and unity of purpose that define both the United States Navy and NASCAR.' The Cup race, set for Sunday, June 21, will be the first inside the secure perimeter of a fully operational military base—an environment that comes complete with F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, 32,000 military personnel, perhaps the most intimidating track marshals in history. Broadcast duties for the event are being split across NASCAR's partners: the Cup race will close out Prime Video's five-race broadcast slate for 2026, while the Xfinity Series heads to The CW and the Truck Series lands with FOX Sports. The announcement marks another aggressive—and rather bold—move by NASCAR to expand its reach with unconventional venues and novel partnerships. From the LA Coliseum to downtown Chicago, and now onto a Navy base, the series is doubling down on spectacle. And when it comes to spectacle, nothing quite says 'American motorsport' like full-throttle NASCAR race cars echoing off a hangar full of fighter jets. 'This is the first time we're taking NASCAR racing to the heart of an active military base,' said Ben Kennedy, NASCAR's Executive VP of Racing Innovation. 'We're honored to be part of the Navy's 250th celebration, and we're ready to deliver a race experience unlike anything fans—or service members—have ever seen.' The course layout will be revealed at a later date, though one assumes it will be slightly more forgiving than an aircraft carrier's arresting cable system. Overseeing the project is Amy Lupo, newly appointed president of NASCAR San Diego. Lupo's background includes more than two decades at ESPN, where she helped globalize the X Games, and she was instrumental in launching the Clash at the Coliseum in LA. She also brings local experience—Lupo once called San Diego home and still resides in Southern California. 'This is a huge win for San Diego,' said Mark Neville, CEO of Sports San Diego, which is working alongside NASCAR on the event. 'This will have a major impact on the region's tourism industry—and frankly, you can't beat Naval Base Coronado for a backdrop.' Meanwhile, one has to wonder if Tom Cruise just perked up somewhere and asked his agent, 'Is there still time to get the Maverick car on the grid?'
