With Hollywood’s appetite to reboot franchises at an all time high, German film studio Constantin along with Capcom are currently filming a new Resident Evil movie, one that aims to bridge the best of the first and second games’ respective narratives into a film that will manage to satsify long-time fans of the franchise while also serving as an introduction for the average movie goer.
The previous Resident Evil film franchise started as a passable action movie with passing references to the game series and morphed into a six-film saga that was barely recognizable and became a vehicle for actress Milla Jovovich to secure steady work with her director husband Paul W.S. Anderson, rather than an actual attempt to faithfully adapt the game series, in spite of its billion-dollar box-office success.
