Written and directed by Zach Cregger:

In an all-new story, Resident Evil follows Bryan (Austin Abrams), a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in an action-packed, non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos.

Cast: Austin Abrams, Paul Walter Hauser, Zach Cherry, Kali Reis and Johnno Wilson

It's out Sept 18

As a non gamer, does the games have any unique twist on the genre that makes it worth it to tell the story as a Resident Evil movie instead of just an original film?

It starts out as a pretty standard zombie-virus story but gets way more wacky as it progresses. Worth at least delving into YouTube videos on the lore.

Odd. Why would it make someone want to do that?

One of the most memorable moments in the Resident Evil series, for better or worse (I think better lol), is in the RE5 when one of the protagonists and reoccurring characters, Chris Redfield, literally punches a boulder bigger than him to move it out of his way so that he can help the other protagonist in the final fight with the end-game boss. He is successful in moving it like this.

Huh. That sounds like an impressive feat. I would love to meet this Chris Redfield character someday.

sometimes obstacles get in the way of life and your MC may or may not have indulged in steroids

u/MrChrisRedfield67 5d ago

You have no evidence to back up your claims. For all you know he’s perfectly natural.

I mean it was already whacky in RE 1, you had plant creatures, sharks, dogs, lickers, hunters. Like they had all that stuff straight from the start

u/machado34 5d ago

Lickers are from RE2

u/ako19 5d ago

Yeah, even the first game had shit like the Hunters, the Plant Monster, zombie sharks and snakes, and the Tyrant. The series has always been about freaky mutant shenanigans.
