So this is Resident Evil 2 then?  and not set in the mansion? 0_o

It's largely RE2, with the cast of RE1 now in Raccoon City. The mansion is supposed to feature, but it will likely be in small flashbacks throughout the film or a short prologue.

ahh.. but why can't they just make a movie based in the mansion? and then make RE2 in the city?


Cast of RE1 in RE2 movie is weird imo

I get the feeling that it's a pseudo tag line. If they just called it Resident Evil, there might be confusion over the Mila Jovovic version, but like this it's basically just Resident Evil. Kinda like how they retroactively changed the female Ghostbusters film to 'Ghostbusters: Answer The Call'.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City - Exclusive First Look Photos


Behold the big screen's new Claire and Chris Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Albert Wesker and more.

IGN has your exclusive first look at Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, which Screen Gems bills not as a reboot or remake of their feature film franchise but rather as the origin story of the original Capcom games. Check out the three exclusive images below to see the new big-screen versions of Clair Redfield, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Leon S. Kennedy, Albert Wesker and more characters gamers will recognize.

The upcoming film -- written and directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night) -- is based on the first two Resident Evil games. The movie chronicles how Raccoon City went from being a city of industry to a dying Midwestern town that's become ground zero for the t-Virus outbreak.

In a new exclusive interview with IGN, Roberts elaborated on the differences between his Resident Evil movie, the prior films starring Milla Jovovich, and how his filmmaking approach here draws not only from the Capcom games but also old school genre filmmaking:


(https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2021/08/30/residentevil-1-1630299641307.jpg)

Here's your first look at Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield and Avan Jogia as Leon S. Kennedy. You'll notice Leon is wearing his police uniform, in keeping with what his job was at the time of the Raccoon City Destruction Incident. In Resident Evil 2, Leon and Claire Redfield, sister of S.T.A.R.S. officer Chris Redfield (played in this film by the Arrowverse's Robbie Amell), were among the few people who ventured into Raccoon City following the outbreak.

(https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2021/08/30/residentevil-2-1630299923750.jpg)

From left-to-right: Albert Wesker (Tom Hopper), Brad Vickers (Nathan Dales), Jill Valentine (Hannah John-Kamen), and Chris Redfield (Robbie Amell) on the prowl in the Spencer Mansion, which Roberts previously described to us as being "creepy as f*ck" in his film.

Lisa Trevor (played by Marina Mazepa) appears in Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. In the games, Lisa is the teenage daughter of the architect of the Spencer Mansion in Raccoon Forest who went missing while on a walk. Umbrella scientists working out of the Arklay Laboratory near the Spencer Mansion experimented on Lisa for years, including exposing her to multiple viruses. Their gruesome experiments on Lisa led Umbrella to discover the Nemesis Tyrant and the G-Virus, but they also transformed her into a deranged monstrosity.


"This movie really had nothing to do with the previous franchise. This was all about returning to the games and creating a movie that was much more a horror movie than the sort of sci-fi action of the previous films. I was hugely influenced in particular by the remake of the second game and I really wanted to capture the atmosphere-drenched tone that it had. It was so cinematic. The previous movies were very bright and shiny whereas this movie was dark and grimy, entirely shot at night. It's constantly raining and the town is shrouded in mist. ... I was hugely influenced by movies like The Exorcist (and Exorcist 3!), Don't Look Now, and The Shining. You can really feel the texture in this movie. Nothing in this town feels hi-tech. It feels dilapidated. I wanted Raccoon City to feel a bit like the town in Deer Hunter; a ghost town forgotten by the rest of the world. And the whole structure of the film was definitely very influenced by Assault on Precinct 13."

Our first exclusive image from the film reveals the first look at Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield and Avan Jogia as Leon S. Kennedy. You'll notice Leon is wearing his police uniform, in keeping with what his job was at the time of the Raccoon City Destruction Incident.


In Resident Evil 2, Leon and Claire Redfield, sister of S.T.A.R.S. officer Chris Redfield (played in this film by the Arrowverse's Robbie Amell), were among the few people who ventured into Raccoon City following the outbreak. They eventually crossed paths with Raccoon City Police Chief Brian Irons, played in this film by Gotham's Donal Logue.

"The difference with this film as opposed to the previous movies is that it is an ensemble where each of the main characters carries huge importance to the narrative. They are not just cosplay characters who have the exact hair and costume of the characters," Roberts said. "It was hugely important with the whole casting process to find people who embodied the spirit and energy of the characters I wanted to portray. I think often in game adaptations one of the big flaws can be just casting someone to look visually like the characters - giving them the identical haircut and clothes but not really trying to give the audience the thing that a movie does better than a game - which is to create a three dimensional character that you can really connect with and believe in."

Roberts recalled the particularly difficult search for the right actor to play Leon S. Kennedy: "We must have seen so many people - it was really quite a tricky role because of the balance of humor and weariness. Then Avan read and I was like he's the one! He gets it."

IGN's second exclusive image from Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City features, from left-to-right, Albert Wesker (Tom Hopper), Brad Vickers (Nathan Dales), Jill Valentine (Hannah John-Kamen), and Chris Redfield (Robbie Amell) on the prowl in the Spencer Mansion, which Roberts previously described to us as being "creepy as f*ck" in his film.


"I wanted to go back to the horror of it all. I wanted scares and atmosphere rather than full-on action," Roberts told IGN when comparing what differentiates Welcome to Raccoon City from the earlier Resident Evil films. "I think fans of the game felt the same. They wanted to see the iconic characters and locations and feel that the movie was more in line with the Resident Evil game world so that's really why we chose to go in that direction. We worked hand in hand with Capcom on this movie to the point that we actually got blueprints from them on the designs of the Spencer Mansion and Raccoon police station in order to recreate them as perfectly as we could. We even have the exact artwork up on the mansion walls. Capcom saw it for the first time the other day and was so happy and excited."

The final image we can exclusively reveal from Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City depicts Lisa Trevor, played in the film by Marina Mazepa. In the games, Lisa is the teenage daughter of the architect of the Spencer Mansion in Raccoon Forest who went missing while on a walk. Umbrella scientists working out of the Arklay Laboratory near the Spencer Mansion experimented on Lisa for years, including exposing her to multiple viruses.

These gruesome experiments on Lisa led Umbrella to discover the Nemesis Tyrant and the G-Virus, but they also transformed her into a deranged monstrosity. One of the scientists who experimented on her is Dr. William Birkin, played in Welcome to Raccoon City by Neal McDonough.


"Lisa Trevor is actually quite a pivotal role in the movie. I was always fascinated by her when playing the remake of the first game. I found her character both disturbing and at the same time strangely haunting," Roberts told IGN. "When we were discussing how to bring this story to life it was one of the elements that I really wanted to feature strongly as she has never been in any of the filmed versions of Resident Evil. I wanted her to be a three-dimensional character, not just some creepy specter. We cast Marina Mazepa, who had just done Malignant for James Wan and really worked hard in bringing this character to life in a way I think the fans are going to love so much. She's terrifying but also tragic. In the movie, we really connect her to Claire Redfield's story, starting with the orphanage where Claire grew up."

Fans of the games should know that Capcom was involved in the film's development and designs. "We worked very closely with Capcom. Every character and creature is from the game and as such, I wanted to be as faithful as possible. I wanted to create a truly immersive feeling for the fans," Roberts explained. "But that also became the trickiest part of adapting a piece of IP like this because I didn't just want to put the game on screen - it had to be its own thing with living breathing characters and creatures (and, of course, zombies!) that felt true to the world."


Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City opens only in theaters on November 24, 2021, in the US, December 3 in the UK, and November 25 in Australia.

They're distributing the animated thing and producing their own series about Wesker's daughters or something. I read the pilot and it was pretty shit, not gonna lie.

I actually dug the movie 'Spectral', which they made before they started getting big-name bankable stars. It's a movie about essentially "weaponized" ghosts, and it cribs REALLY heavily from 'Aliens'. It's got a novel premise and the action was neat.

Officially less than two months from release and still no trailer. Remember when studios would release trailers at least 6 months ahead of release? I know Covid changed things for the industry but this is just insane. Maybe they changed the release date to January which would also be a bad sign.

Honestly aside from the Gamecube looking CG and the horrible song choice, the movie looks middle of the road-ish to me. Not sure about them mashing together RE1-2, but eh.

Doesn't really look worse than some of the sequels to the Anderson films, though that isn't saying much. I'll give it a watch for sure.

I'm not sure. It doesn't look terrible, and seems like a big step up from the later films of the original series. Doesn't exactly look great, though, and considering they're combining the stories of both RE1 and RE2 (which makes an RE3 adaptation potentially awkward), it might be a little overstuffed. If the running time isn't long, and I doubt it will be, that could leave a lot of story on the cutting room floor.

Other trailer.

Yeahhh... idk about this one. Getting strong Silent Hill: Revelation vibes, as in made on the cheap, going for the game's look heavily but not adapting the story faithfully. Still might be a fun watch, but as a fan I'm not liking what I'm seeing.

That first trailer may be the worst trailer I've seen in recent memory. The song choice, the editing, everything about it.

The second is an improvement but that's no compliment.

Well. This is the movie adaptation of RE that I'd like too see. I don't know if it's good or bad, but the tone is set right. What I can't really forgive is the silly silly title and no white eyes on zombies.

Oh. Looks cheap. But seems like they are trying to put some effort to follow more on the plot from the original games than the cursed Anderson movies, as much as they can I guess, at least no more Alice. Good to see them trying to use the main characters despite Leon and Jill don't looking like them.

The 2002 movie is a good generic zombie movie, but a bad Resident Evil movie.

He settled for just shooting him in Resident Evil 5. Doing it twice was weird enough, though.

After all the negative talk about this movie, I thought I was going to sit through an Uwe Boll level disaster, but no, I actually liked this movie. The plot is simple and easy to follow, the characters aren't as one-dimensional as I expected, Leon actually gets a bit of a character arc, Wesker isn't quite the one-dimensional bad guy as he was in the games and old movies, I also liked that the main villain actually has a personal connection to Chris and Claire, making the final battle with him actually have some emotional weight to it. I loved the creepy atmosphere and camera work, and hey this movie actually has some effective scares, not all of them work but I was held in suspense a couple of times. It's also great that Umbrella is treated as this shadowy entity, instead of a militarized empire like they were in the old movies. as much as I enjoyed the Paul W.S Anderson movies for the over-the-top B movies that they were; this one just works better as a Resident Evil movie. It's still a cheesy B movie, but aren't those the type of films that inspired the games, anyway? overall, it's not a great film but I had fun with it.

Good to hear. Im from the UK so still have to wait a little longer. The main take from the RE community seems to be the character personality changes are the biggest gripe. Because they've gone to the effort of recreating iconic room locations from the games for that extra dose of authenticity, it has made some of the character changes all the more unnecessary and jarring.

Plus some people expect Marvel level effects and action on a 25 mil budget it seems.
Title: Re: Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (Reboot Movie)

I think people expect a movie to not attempt scenes that would require Marvel-level effects to pull off on a $25M budget.

I had some decent fun with this movie on the whole. It's no great piece of cinema, but it had it's entertainment value. Adaptation wise, I didn't care for combining RE 1 and 2 into one story, and Wesker pretty much sucked. The rest of it I was okay with, though.

Yeah, it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected.  Sure, it was schlock, but so were the games.

And I didn't really mind the character changes.  Quite frankly, they make more sense than their counterparts from the games.

I feel like the character changes would work better if they didn't mash RE1 and 2 together. Wesker's more sympathetic turn would be given more time, same with Leon's arc from dumbass to badass.

Post by: The Cruentus on Dec 27, 2021, 01:14:38 PM
I enjoyed this movie, it was far more faithful to the games than Anderson's versions. I like the character of Wesker too, far more likable and down to earth than his game counterpart.
The movie basically takes the first two games as a source but that does cause a few issues because the it spreads the focus between two active scenerios, the mansion and Claire's survival in the city. As a result we don't get the full potential of each area, its trimmed down a lot. It would have been better off using one game at a time because there is a few game stuff that is missing that fans will certainly notice, but what they did reference is pretty well fairly done.

Overall, a decent resident evil movie that RT still seems to dislike lol
