New set photos from Prague offer a first glimpse of what the upcoming film will be like. Resident Evil Movie The cityscape is clearly reminiscent of Raccoon City, completely snow-covered, with police cars and urban details that convey the feel of the games. The film adaptation apparently aims not only to feature familiar characters but also to take the world itself seriously.
Director Zach Cregger This emphasizes authenticity. While few story details were previously known, the photos suggest that winter and night play a significant role. The dark, cold atmosphere of the original games could thus be realistically recreated on the big screen for the first time.
Action, chaos and atmosphere
The footage shows not only snow-covered streets, but also scenes with explosions and speeding vehicles. Filming took place in the evening and at night, reflecting the tension and menace of the games. For the film adaptation, this could mean that classic survival horror elements, such as threats lurking in the shadows, will be combined with modern action sequences.
The photos also show police details and city maps that clearly reference Raccoon City, but cannot be precisely located geographically. This suggests that the film creates its own version of the city – familiar to fans, but with its own visual approach.

The fact that the filming locations are designed with such attention to detail is an interesting detail.
