Welcome to Raccoon City needs more than iconography to be a true Resident Evil adaptation, and judging by the trailer, IвЂ™m not convinced this movie will recreate Resident Evil in the ways that really matter. ItвЂ™s clear the movie will be packed with fanservice as a way of differentiating itself from the Anderson films, but it remains to be seen if those details amount to anything more than pandering. The first trailer premiered last week, communicating the directorвЂ™s reverence for the games with tons of references to details and plot points that demonstrate an in-depth understanding of and connection with the series. The live-action reboot promises to be a more вЂњ faithful adaptationвЂќ than the original films, set in and around the Spencer Mansion and Raccoon City Police Department from Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2, respectively. Next month, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City will hit theaters. Anderson films, the Resident Evil community at large hasnвЂ™t exactly come around on them (yet). A CGI original movie called Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness premiered on Netflix this summer and has already been completely forgotten, and while IвЂ™m still a huge fan of the Paul W.S.

While the series is more popular than ever thanks to the positive reception of RE7, Village, and the remakes of RE2 and 3, the renewed interest hasnвЂ™t yet translated into film and TV. It will be released on November 24th.ItвЂ™s safe to say Resident Evil hasnвЂ™t found a lot of critical success outside of video games. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, directed by Johannes Roberts, stars Kaya Scodelario, Hannah John-Kamen, Robbie Amell, Tom Hopper, Avan Jogia with Donal Logue, and Neal McDonough. When that evil is unleashed, a group of survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night.' CAPTIONS: (LtoR) Robbie Amell, Chad Rook, Hannah John Kamen, and Tom Hopper in Screen Gems RESIDENT EVIL WELCOME TO RACCOON CITY. The company's exodus left the city a wastelandвЂ¦with great evil brewing below the surface. In RESIDENT EVIL: WELCOME TO RACCOON CITY, once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City is now a dying Midwestern town.

'Returning to the origins of the massively popular RESIDENT EVIL franchise, fan and filmmaker Johannes Roberts brings the games to life for a whole new generation of fans. That being said, a horror movie releasing in November instead of October? October was a busy month with a lot of big movies, but not getting the spooky season crowd might hurt this one a lot. We have some new posters from IMP Awards, but maybe Sony is waiting until November to push this movie. Despite the movie being a little over a month away, Sony isn't out here promoting it much yet. Whether or not that's going to work out, because the story of Resident Evil has always been a bit goofy, remains to be seen. Those movies seemed almost ashamed of their source material while this movie is leaning in. There are a lot of locations in the footage that look like they were directly lifted from the games, which is something we never got from the previous movies. So far, the reactions to the trailer seem mixed to positive so far. However, horror movies don't always need a ton of time to film things, and the best horror movies have been shot, edited, and released in less than a year. It feels like Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City was announced, filmed, and is coming out in a little over a month within the span of about a week.
