“I wanted to go back to the horror of it all. I wanted scares and atmosphere rather than full-on action, I think fans of the game felt the same.
They wanted to see the iconic characters and locations and feel that the movie was more in line with the Resident Evil game world so that’s really why we chose to go in that direction.

We worked hand in hand with Capcom on this movie to the point that we actually got blueprints from them on the designs of the Spencer Mansion and Raccoon police station in order to recreate them as perfectly as we could.
We even have the exact artwork up on the mansion walls. Capcom saw it for the first time the other day and was so happy and excited.”




The movie will feature plenty of familiar faces from the first three Resident Evil Games:
Claire Redfield (Kaya Scodelario), Leon S. Kennedy (Avan Jogia), Albert Wesker (Tom Hopper), Brad Vickers (Nathan Dales), Jill Valentine (Hannah John-Kamen), and Chris Redfield (Robbie Amell) - as they attempt to find a way out of the zombie-infested city of the title.

 

[Starfield]

Looks shit

 

[RoboFu]

SCY-FY Original Productions looked at that and said: "wow that looks cheap"

 

[mansoor1980]

leon is arab?

 

[BaneIsPain]

that looks horrible. I’ll watch it after couple of years later.

 

[Fermbiz]

May not be releasing on Netflix, but i'll wait till it gets to Netflix... Or some other streaming service.

 

[The Cockatrice]

"exclusive in movie theaters"

rofl good luck with that. It'll be on streaming in a month.

 

[reforen]

the CGI looks like Wolverine Origins

 

[MiguelItUp]

This is SO hilariously horrible. The CG looks god awful, the trailer design is awful, and the song choice, LMAO.

The film itself looks like it's leaning really hard into recreating some memorable moments from the games, but that won't save it.

I'm legit shocked this is going to theaters. It looks SO incredibly low budget in the worst ways. It looks like a fan film!

Actually, I bet fan films could be even better than this!

 

[Orta]

Looks shite

 

[Rob_27]

Resident Evil Woke

 

[llLeonhart]

Yep, looks as bad as the images previously shown.

I'm perplexed by how they choose Claire as the MC, and yet she looks like shit.

 

[yurinka]

Chris looks good, but the rest of the cast seem from a fan film or a C tier cosplay contest, and the song is terrible. But other than that looks good, what I'd ask for a Resident Evil movie.

 

[tommib]

Looks horrible. And I really enjoyed the Netflix series for what it was.

 

[Badlucktroll]

The mansion looks ok. They should have just
produced George Romero’s Resident Evil script with a decent budget.

 

[Draugoth]

This looks bad? Yes

Will i see it? Yes

Will it be painful? Probably.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

This looks like a Gen X Pepsi ad had a baby with Silent Hill Revelation trailer. No, that's not a good thing. And 4 Non Blondes? Really?

 

[Fake]

Sad to see Biohazard in that state...

 

[Draugoth]

It looks pretty darn cheap and the CGI is. Well.. it speaks for itself.

 

[Badlucktroll]

From the trailer it looks like the town got taken over and they have to go to the mansion to find out what happened/stop it?

 

[winjer]

Seems like something fan made, for youtube.

Its curious that in 2021 we still get CGI that is this bad.
Almost like it was done in 1998.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

It looks pretty darn cheap and the CGI is. Well.. it speaks for itself.

Yes, when I saw this I had flashbacks to the original Resident Evil movie. And the Spawn movie. It's sad when the actual CG films have better looking visuals than this. It's 2021.

 

[Iced Arcade]

That looked bad for a tv movie but holy shit its a theater movie.

 

[Stitch]

Looks more like Resident Evil than all Alice movies combined, but it also looks like it didn't cost a lot...

 

[M1chl]

Shit has the aesthetic, lighting of SAW, not really a something I would expect from RE.

 

[plushyp]

Too bad they didn't use the He-Man cover for the song.

 

[MasterDerico]

Unfortunately looks really bad.
Even the iconic zombie scene from r1 looks lame...

 

[jaysius]

OMG the CGI is a complete abortion.

This is a high budget D-movie... odd.

I can't decide if this is meta as that's what RE always was. that, or if this is just pure trash.

 

[Cao Cao]

Leon and Jill are white ...

 

[Airbus Jr]

How can the CGI look worse than the 2003 milla jovovich resident evil movie

This look low budget man

Also the raceswap jill and leon are unaceptable ffs

 

[OrionNebula]

‘’Every story has a beginning’’
Starts at RE2 events

Also, song choice for a RE trailer

 

[Vaelka]

Lisa looks like someone wearing a Halloween costume.

It looks pretty darn cheap and the CGI is. Well.. it speaks for itself.

Wtf is this even supposed to be xD?
I've played the game ofc and I have no idea I don't recognize it at all.

 

[JimmyRustler]

This looks bad? Yes

Will i see it? Yes

Will it be painful? Probably.

Came in to say this.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

disgusting

 

[kanjobazooie]

leon is arab?

Half Indian, half white.

هندي + انجليزي = عربي

 

[TexMex]

Am I nuts? I’m a huge video game movie hater. I think every one of them are awful. But this…looks decent to me? Did I wake up on the right side of the bed or something?

At least it looks like it’s made by someone with clear affection for the games. I mean all the scenes, characters and locations are here. Hell of a lot better than those shitty 7 or whatever movies with Mila.

 

[kingpotato]

Looks better than the 2002 Movie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Fbh]

The guy from the Asylum production company trying to figure out how they'll make a ripoff that looks even cheaper than this:

 

[applesaucejaxon]

I can't believe this is a movie being released in theaters. It looks so cheap...

 

[Starcheif]

I'll watch once it's on Netflex!

 

[chaseroni]

Yeah I'm with you there is a lot of shitty game and shitty RE adaptations for that matter, at least this has some resemblance of the source material.
Not a huge RE person but the backlash seems overblown, to be expected from the gaming crowd though.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Taking cues from RE2 remake. Eh. I'm good.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Can't wait for the sequel to this video:

 

[old-parts]

The only complaint I have is that it looks way too clean, by that the video itself the way it was shot.

 

[nkarafo]

That can't be Leon.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Backlash seems overblown?

Jill is now African and Leon look Indian

Not to mention the horendous cgi

The backlash is fully justified

 

[Perfo]

Well at least it seems more Resident Evil than all the previous shitty attempts. Plus RE itself always been a B movie horror type of experience so I think making this an obvious budgeted title is the right way to go. I see some visions and efforts, might end up being a trashy pulp horror b movie classic lol. Cautiously optimistic ✌

Also, can't be worse than Village, right?

 

[killatopak]

The mansion looks ok. They should have just
produced George Romero’s Resident Evil script with a decent budget.

I dunno. It seems small to me. Especially when they showed the shot of the staircase on the main entrance.

 

[SolidQ]

Leon is meh

 

[NahaNago]

This looked worse than I thought it would. Looks like a CW movie for theaters.
