Il first movie reboot Series resident evil officially has a title: Welcome to Raccoon City. If you too are a fan of the Capcom franchise and couldn't wait to see the original characters on the big screen, then this is the film of your dreams. Let's analyze together the information available to us on the new movie and we also discover some news about it Resident evil village, coming in May.
Welcome to Raccoon City is the official title of the new Resident Evil reboot
over twenty years the saga of resident evil has passionate gamers, becoming the progenitor of genere survival horror. In 2002 Resident Evil was released, the first film inspired by the famous franchise starring Milla Jovovich and directed by Paul WS Anderson. Over the years they have come out five sequels but the whole saga has failed to do justice to the Capcom home video games.
The director and the writers have decided to tell a different story and also change the main character, right from the first film. In fact, Milla Jovovich plays the role of Alice, non-existent character within the videogame series. Despite the presence of zombie, backbone of the franchise, dei licker, the Nemesis and some character, Anderson's films deviate completely from what is the official video game plot.
The welcome it wasn't the best, especially by gamers. Many of them they didn't appreciate it these substantial changes and believe that have nothing to do with what Capcom has created. In fact, adding a completely new character and changing the storyline was a rather risky idea. In addition, the audience points out that Anderson it didn't even do justice to all the characters that the Resident Evil franchise has offered us.
Suddenly then there was talk of a new movie. For some years now there have been rumors about a new reboot and this intrigued us a lot. The official announcement came last year and literally wowed the audience. Fans and gamers were curious to know that turn would take this new film and Johannes Roberts, the director, revealed some really interesting information.
Roberts announced that his idea is that of return to the first two original video games and recreate the terrifying visceral experience he had when he first played them. At the same time want tell a human story founded on a small dying American town that functions as a metaphor for today's society.
Back to the Spencer Mansion and Raccoon City
It is therefore official to state that the reboot will be inspired by the first two chapters of Resident Evil e will be loyal to the franchise by Capcom. The news, however, does not end here! The official cast and gamers who are passionate about the franchise will be happy to know that, finally, we will have the chance to see the our favorite characters on the big screen.
In the cast we find Kaya Scodelario (Skins, Maze Runner) and Robbie Amell (Upload) respectively in the role of Clear e Chris Redfield. Next we find Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and The Wasp) in the role of Jill Valentine while Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap) will perform Leon Kennedy. Next we find Tom Hopper in the role of Albert wesker, Lily Gao in those of There's Wong and Neal McDonough will play the Dottor William Birkin.
Also a few days ago, in honor of the XNUMXth anniversary of the franchise, director Johannes Roberts revealed the official title and confirmed, once again, that the film will include elements e characters of the first two games. Among them we find our darling Raccoon City Police Station and the incredible Spencer Mansion, icon of the first Resident Evil (Biohazard).
At the moment, however, we still don't know how Roberts managed to stage two different timelines. As we all know in the first Resident Evil the Alpha Team arrives at the Spencer Mansion on July 24 1998 as the Resident Evil 2 story unfolds about two months later, 29 September 1998. We are therefore curious to see how the director managed to fix this detail.
The premises of this reboot really seem interesting and the idea of returning to classic terrifying atmosphere ed distressing of the first chapters of Resident Evil intrigues us more and more. At the moment, however, we have to wait a few more months before we can see the new film by Johannes Roberts. The director revealed that the film will only be released in theaters on 3 September 2021.
