Director Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night) is taking us back to Raccoon City this November with Sony’s Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City. A new featurette is here, spotlighting the movie’s return to its horror roots and teasing some of the many Easter Eggs that are to be discovered. I want fans to just look at these locations and be like wow, I’m in the game,” Roberts explains. “Capcom was super supportive. They gave us the actual blueprints, so we built the mansion and police station exactly as the game. Every frame has details – the orphanage doors, a typewriter in the background, the little herbs. It’s really fun. It’s very much for the fans.” “Returning to the terrifying roots of the massively popular franchise, fan and filmmaker Johannes Roberts brings the games of the billion-dollar franchise and the most successful video game adaptation in history to life for a whole new generation of fans.”

Johannes Roberts promised fans of the popular survival horror game series “Resident Evil” that the upcoming film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City would be closer to the source material than Paul W.S. Anderson’s film series that pretty much had nothing to do with the games (a trend with his works based on video games). Fans were excited to learn that the film will combine the first two Resident Evil games and were pretty much on board with the film…till yesterday (August 30, 2021) when the first three production stills were released showing the cast and instantly divided fans. The one picture that really irked fans were the image of Resident Evil 2’s main heroes, Leon and Clair and fans were quick to show disappointment in the casting of Avan Jogia as Leon with many saying his appearance made him look more like Carlos (Resident Evil 3) than Leon. Some fans were also quick to criticize the appearance of the

We’ve got the new release date and plot for Johannes Robert‘s upcoming reboot Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City which is meant to kick off a new franchise. “Once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City is now a dying Midwestern town. The company’s exodus left the city a wasteland…with great evil brewing below the surface. When that evil is unleashed, the townspeople are forever…changed…and a small group of survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night.” Kaya Scodelario (Crawl) stars as Claire Redfield with Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp) playing Jill Valentine, Tom Hopper (“The Umbrella Academy”) as Albert Wesker, Robbie Amell (Upload) as Chris Redfield, Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap) as Leon S.

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. Raccoon City is kind of this rotten character in the movie and that sort of atmosphere in the games I wanted to put in [the film].” Roberts continued, “I’m a huge
