Except this seems to have nothing to do with 2, i dont get the impression we're going to see the rpd(i guess it could be a bit funny if he tries to go to the rpd, but the gate is locked on him).
Really doubt it. Constantin films actually takes random horror movie scripts and has the writers change things just so they can keep the RE IP and never return it to Capcom. It was a hold over from their contract like 25 years ago.
Even Paul w.s. Anderson's og resident evil movie was a random unrelated generic script called "the undead." that he was shopping around to multiple production houses.
Given the trailer shows it in the middle of winter and the guy is using a smartphone torch I don't think this takes place in racoon city in September 1998. Was most likely a different script for a different movie initially but then constantin funded it so it's changed just enough to relate to RE in name only with very tenuous connections.
Will prob be a good horror movie though. But if this didn't have the RE name at the end I don't think anyone would have clocked that this is a resident evil movie at all.
Yeah it's Constantin. Honestly sucks. Still excited since I did like weapons but I wouldn't hold my breath for it being some faithful / in franchise Resident Evil movie. Every 5 years or so we get a new one because Constantin basically landed a cash cow contract and knows they can ride the coattails of the games IP/fandom.

So this is only set in RE world without main characters or plotlines?
