The Resident Evil remake, dubbed Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, will hit cinemas in a few months. The picture appears to be far more true to the Resident Evil source material than the earlier, more action-oriented films, which series fans have favorably welcomed. A recently confirmed fact about the Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City film should help to guarantee that the film stays as true to the games as possible.
In a recent interview with IGN, Resident Evil movie remake director Johannes Roberts revealed an important tidbit about how the film would stay true to the original games. Roberts stated that the filmmakers “always reverted to the game,” preferring not to create unique characters or monsters when it comes to people, creatures, and settings. In an interview with IGN, Roberts stated, “Every character and monster is from the game.”
Roberts revealed that the film would feature numerous Resident Evil monsters, with zombies and the sad Lisa Trevor being the two confirmed thus far. According to Roberts, the Resident Evil movie creatures were created using a combination of prosthetics, CGI, and creature actors, and they look “f***ing fantastic.” According to Roberts, fans should be able to recognize the monsters from the games, but certain changes have been made to make them appear as though they might exist in real life.
This interview with Roberts was published alongside a gallery of Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City movie stills, demonstrating that the film is attempting to reproduce the video game franchise accurately. The photos depict the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha squad investigating the Spencer Estate house and Claire and Leon making their way through a subterranean section in Raccoon City, among other characters from the Resident Evil film.
The aforementioned Lisa Trevor, who is a sad product of Umbrella’s research, is seen in one of the more frightening photos of the lot. Lisa Trevor is widely regarded as one of the most terrifying Resident Evil characters, so it’s exciting to see her in the film. It also makes one wonder what other monsters will emerge in Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City when it opens in cinemas in November.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse Marketing: Now that we’re getting closer to the premiere date for Welcome to Raccoon City, maybe a teaser will surface shortly that provides fans some answers.
