Sign in to your Polygon.com account CinemaCon, the annual trade show for movie exhibitors, is under way in Las Vegas, and Sony Pictures has just opened it with a bang.
As well as announcing a Bloodborne animated film and revealing the title and plot of the third Jumanji movie, Sony showed off two Spider-Man movies (Brand New Day and Beyond the Spider-Verse), the new Resident Evil, Facebook sequel The Social Reckoning, and Taika Waititi's Klara and the Sun; revealed a mecha movie from the director of Godzilla Minus One; and gave a production update on next year's The Legend of Zelda movie.
Most of the trailers and footage shown were just for the audience in the room, as is CinemaCon tradition.
The movies that got the biggest reactions were Resident Evil, from Weapons director Zach Cregger, and the long-awaited Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.

Resident Evil Cregger has spoken of keeping Resident Evil stripped back and true to the spirit of the games, and the trailer shown sounds beautiful straightforward.
Star Austin Abrams' car breaks down in a snowy landscape; he makes his way to an abandoned house and calls his girlfriend, telling her he's "in a seriously fucked up situation right now." Cue lots of "shots of horrifying zombies," according to Variety, including a horde of them falling off rooftops as they chase Abrams and "splattering violently." IndieWire said the trailer "did not disappoint." Cregger apparently told the room that he wanted to capture the "resource management" of the games as well as their atmosphere and pacing.
According to recent test screening report, Resident Evil is 90 minutes long, relentless, and like a horror version of Mad Max: Fury Road.
Resident Evil will be released on Sep.
