Things have been quiet on the upcoming reboot of the "Resident Evil" film series since the production wrapped filming several months ago. Today, we finally get to hear a little more about it with a recent interview with director Johannes Roberts who talked a little about the inspirations behind his vision and has finally revealed the official title! "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City".
The director also revealed that the film will be inspired by the works of John Carpenter! Specifically citing the 1980 film "The Fog" for it's creepy tone and the story revolving around an ensemble cast coming together against the monsters. This sounds like the perfect tone for the franchise and keeps sounding better and better with each new piece of news. He goes on to say that the "Resident Evil 2 Remake" really helped to give the film it's dreary tone.
“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].”
Sadly, the interview with IGN was brief and there's still no word on any official photos or trailer as of yet. But you can be sure that I'll be back here the moment something drops so stay tuned. "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City" will be released on September 3, 2021 and stars Kaya Scodelario, Hannah John-Kamen, Robbie Amell, Tom Hopper, Avan Jogia, and Neal McDonough. It will be set in 1998 and is a retelling of the first two games in the series.
