Constantin Films and Sony’s Screen Gems division have set a September 3rd release date for the reboot of the “Resident Evil” film franchise.
Penned and directed by Johannes Roberts (“47 Meters Down”), the new film has a tone more horror than action-based and unfolds on a fateful night in Raccoon City in 1998 which becomes the center of a bioweapon virus outbreak that forever changes the country.
Kaya Scodelario, Hannah John-Kamen, Robbie Amell, Tom Hopper, Avan Jogia and Neal McDonough star in the project which Robert Kulzer, James Harris and Hartley Gorenstein produce.
The previous six films in the franchise have generated a total worldwide theatrical box office of $1.2 billion.
