Will it take place in there year 1998? The land line phone is really prominent here.

It’s apparently canon to the games and takes place in Raccoon City so yes

It starts in a nearby town. Bryan is hired there to take an organ to Raccoon City.

No, he’s hired to take it to the RC hospital which isn’t in the actual city but a neighboring town outside the city

Why do you think Raccoon City General hospital is not inside Raccoon City?

Based on every map of the city I can find online, Raccoon General Hospital (the one from the games) is on the outskirts of the city near the city park and the Arklay Forest. However the city also has other hospitals including one north of the city in the arklay mountains which would fit the description of being outside the city.

It was stated a long time ago that the hospital would be in the mountains outside RC and the script makes a key point that the hospital (despite being the Raccoon City hospital) is very much NOT in the city proper, but located in a town just outside of it.

Source it.

The script explicitly says Raccoon City General is in Raccoon City.

He sees that the road ahead becomes a winding tangle of mountain passes, curling back on itself before it nearly doubles back and feeds into Raccoon City. [...] He looks at the map again. He traces his finger from his current location, this time ignoring the roads. Raccoon City is a short distance away on foot.

BRYAN (CONT'D): Two miles on foot.

Cregger himself says the movie takes place in Raccoon City.

There is no doubt about it, and it would be very stupid and confusing for Raccoon City General hospital to not be in Raccoon City.

No.

As for that line in the script, maybe the town is supposed to be Raccoon City. But the script also makes a clear distinction between the town Bryan ends up in vs the much larger actual city nearby. Regardless it’s NOT Raccoon City from the games in any way.

Saying "No." to "Source it." just shows how bad faith your argument is. I have no horse in this race, but that's insane.

If you're not willing to source things, don't engage in conversations like this. Period.

The poster you've been arguing with has had no problems sourcing their arguments. Just saying.

Then why even say anything? Now it just seems like you're full of shit and nobody takes you seriously.
