Sony Pictures’ reboot of the “Resident Evil” film franchise has officially wrapped its shoot – a fairly quick one considering it only began filming in early November.
Set in the year 1998, the new film is ditching the Milla Jovovich-led films’ action tone in favour of more classic horror tropes like the Capcom games themselves.
Johannes Roberts (“47 Meters Down”) helms the project which will be an origin story taking place in Raccoon City with Spencer Mansion to be a key location.
The cast includes Kaya Scodelario (“Crawl”) as Claire Redfield, Robbie Amell (“The Babysitter”) as Chris Redfield, Hannah John-Kamen (“Ant-Man and the Wasp”) as Jill Valentine, Tom Hopper (“The Umbrella Academy”) as Albert Wesker, Avan Jogia (“Now Apocalypse”) as Leon S. Kennedy, Neal McDonough (“Yellowstone”) as William Birkin and Donal Logue (“Gotham”) as Chief Irons.
The new film is set to arrive September 9th next year and comes in addition to the animated series “Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness” which will be released next year on Netflix.
That’s a wrap in Raccoon City.
