TheResident Evilmovie reboot, titledResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, will hit theaters in a few months. The film is looking to be much more faithful to theResident Evilsource material than the previous, more action-focused movies were, which is an approach that has been well-received by franchise fans. A newly confirmed detail about theResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Citymovie should ensure that the film remains as faithful to the games as possible.
Resident Evilmovie reboot director Johannes Robertsrecently spoke to IGN in an interview where he revealed an interesting detail about how the movie will remain faithful to the original games. Roberts explained that the filmmakers “always returned to the game” when it came to characters, creatures, and locations, opting to avoid creating original characters or monsters. “Every character and creature is from the game,” Roberts explained in the IGN interview.

Roberts confirmed that there will be multipleResident Evilcreatures in the movie, with two of the monsters confirmed so far being zombies and thetragic Lisa Trevor. Roberts explained that theResident Evilmovie monsters have been made using a mix of prosthetics, CGI, and creature performers and that they look “f***ing incredible.” Roberts believes that fans will have no problem recognizing the creatures from the games, but there have been some tweaks to ensure that it seems like these things could exist in real life.
This interview with Roberts came alongside aset ofResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Citymovie photosthat prove that the film is truly trying to be a faithful recreation of the video game series. The images show various characters from theResident Evilmovie in action, including the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team exploring theSpencer Estate mansionand Claire and Leon making their way through an underground area in Raccoon City.
One of the more disturbing images of the bunch shows the aforementioned Lisa Trevor, who is a tragic product of Umbrella’s experiments. Lisa Trevor is widely considered to be one of thescariestResident Evilcreatures, so it’s great to see that she made the cut for the movie, and it makes one wonder what other monsters will be appearing in theResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Cityfilm when it hits theaters in November.
Marketing forResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Cityshould start ramping up now that we’re closer to its premiere date, so hopefully a trailer will drop soon that gives fans some answers.
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Citypremiers in theaters on November 24.
