Resident Evil Movie Reboot will be released this September

 

Looks like we finally have a release date for Constantin Films, Screen Gems, and Sony Pictures upcoming Resident Evil movie reboot, as Deadline reports that the Johannes Roberts directed movie is set for a September 3 release.

The new film, which will ignore the continuity of the Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich films, will adapt the storyline from the first two Resident Evil/ Biohazard games. Kaya Scodelario, Robbie Amell,  Hannah John-Kamen, and Avan Jogia will play Claire Redfield, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Leon S. Kennedy respectively, while Tom Hopper and Neal McDonough will play series antagonists Albert Wesker and William Birkin.

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!

Screen Gems buys rights to "Devil May Cry"

If you know the history of the Resident Evil/ Bio Hazard franchise, then you'd be wise to know that any of the big screen movies you've seen with Milla Jovovich starring in them are unlike anything that follows the video game series' canon, instead opting to use elements here and there from the game and establish a timeline of its own. With that said and being a fan of the games, I have respect for the direction the movies went through, but it still didn't accomplish the job of translating a video game concept into the big screen. With so many sequels already made and still more on the way, one has to wonder what else will be milked into a Hollywood movie? Well, Screen Gems, a subsidiary company of Sony Pictures Entertainment responsible for distributing said Resident Evil films, has gone out and made their move, as they have secured the rights to another Capcom property that was originally intended to be a Resident Evil sequel, but spun out into a franchise of its own: Devil May Cry.

Those familiar with DMC should know that it deals with the story of Dante: an arrogant, wise-cracking demon slayer who happens to be the son of the legendary Sparda, a demon who rebelled against his own kind and possesses extraordinary powers. Created by Hideki Kamiya, Dante and the DMC series were meant to represent "cool and stylish" to the video game genre, and boy did the series take off with some serious ass kicking gameplay that was both highly addicting and simply amazing to watch and pull off at the same time. Because of its popularity, the Devil May Cry series has already gotten 4 games, an anime series, toys, and several other merchandise under its belt, and even a remake is on its way (which in itself looks controversial due to Dante's major makeover). Now that movie rights have been secured by Screen Gems, with Kane & Lynch movie adaptation writer Kyle Ward handling the screenplay, one has to wonder how Hollywood will handle this property. Only time will tell for sure. For more info on the story, visit the source post at Slash Film.
