Resident Evil is given another adventure on the big screen with a new Film

This time without director Paul WS Anderson and leading actress Milla Jovovich.

While the eighth part of the main series will be released in 2021, rumors suggest that Resident Evil 4 will also be reissued. In addition, Netflix is ​​developing two TV series, and is a return to the cinema planned. This film reboot, however, has nothing to do with Paul WS Anderson and Milla Jovovich.

What is the story about? In contrast to the total of six films starring Milla Jovovich, the planned film reboot is said to be a direct adaptation of the first two video games – Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2.

According to the first story details, it should be about the events in 1998, when mysterious incidents occur in the Spencer estate and subsequently also in Raccoon City before the living dead lay an entire city in ruins.

How the cinema reboot of Resident Evil wants to accommodate the plot of two games in one film will of course be exciting.

Which actors and characters are performing? In line with the template, the film reboot of Resident Evil features characters that fans already know from video games. The following characters and their actors were introduced via deadline:

• Chris Redfield: Robbie Amell (Upload)
• Jill Valentine: Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp)
