Resident Evil Movie Reboot Announces Cast, Will Adapt the 1998 Video Games Storyline

 

Survival Horror fans and Resident Evil/ Biohazard mainstays like myself are seeing a flicker of hope with the latest news that just hit for the Resident Evil Movie Reboot project, as Deadline has a new report up announcing the cast and story details for the new do over film. 

Once again handled by Constantin Film and now helmed by "47 Meters Down" director Johannes Roberts, the movie WILL ADAPT the 1998 Video Games storyline, with the report saying Constantin and Roberts "have conceived an official origin story adaptation with faithful ties to Capcom’s classic survival horror games". That means they are going to adapt the infamous "Mansion Incident" - which tell the events of the first Resident Evil/ Biohazard game and its Remake, as well as the "Raccoon City Outbreak" which was depicted in Resident Evil 2 and its remakes! This will definitely get fans excited and happy that this is FINALLY HAPPENING.

As shown in Deadline, cast in the roles are the following Kaya Scodelario (Maze Runner) as Claire Redfield, Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp) as Jill Valentine, Robbie Amell (Upload) as Chris Redfield, Tom Hopper (The Umbrella Academy) as Albert Wesker, Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap) as Leon S. Kennedy, and Neal McDonough (Yellowstone) as William Birkin. It's definitely a powerful looking cast, and if they play the script and execution right - we may have a pretty good adaptation coming up. Franchise producer Robert Kulzer, who produced the Milla Jovovich Resident Evil films, had some pretty big exciting things to say that finally makes an RE fan's dreams come true.

“After a dozen games, six live-action movies and hundreds of pages of fan fiction, we felt compelled to return to the year 1998, to explore the secrets hidden in the walls of the Spenser Mansion and Raccoon City."

No release date has been given yet for the Resident Evil Reboot, but we can probably expect more news soon as the franchise celebrates its 25th Anniversary next year!
