Direct answer: there is not a standalone Resident Evil 4 film to date. A forthcoming movie from director Zach Cregger is described as an entirely original story set in the game world, not a faithful retelling of RE4, with a planned release in 2026. For fans seeking RE4-related cinema, there are other Resident Evil films and animated features that explore different stories within the franchise, but none retell the 2005 game’s plot as RE4’s film. Entertainment Weekly supports the original-story approach and 2026 timeline, while existing anime and live-action entries show broader franchise activity without RE4 adaptation. For example, animated entries such as Degeneration (2008), Damnation (2012), Vendetta (2017), and Death Island (2023) live in the same universe but do not reproduce RE4’s narrative, and the 2021 live-action Welcome to Raccoon City reboot centers on earlier games. Resident Evil: Death Island and Degeneration provide context on the animated film line, while Welcome to Raccoon City covers different game events.
