Stranded traveler gets more than he bargained for in Resident Evil teaser

Sony Pictures unveiled the first teaser for a new Resident Evil reboot, directed by Weapons filmmaker Zach Cregger.

The project marks another attempt to revive the long-running horror franchise after earlier adaptations underperformed.

Previous efforts, including Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City and a Netflix series, failed to fully meet expectations.

Sony is betting again on the popular game property to launch a stronger film franchise.
