New Details Emerge For Johannes Roberts’ ‘Resident Evil’ Including Its Title

During the SXSW director Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night)) not only gave new details about the upcoming Resident Evil movie, but he also revealed its title, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, IGN reports. Set to be released this September, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, which has officially wrapped filming, is an adaptation of the first two games of the hit franchise. Roberts told IGN that the tone of the film was very important to him and that he drew inspiration from John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 and The Fog. The thing I loved about the games is they were just scary as hell and that is very much what I wanted. That atmosphere — it’s rain, it’s constantly dark, it’s creepy.
