Writer-director Johannes Roberts’ Resident Evil reboot is currently shooting. And this morning we learned that the film will hit on September 3, 2021.
Roberts’ (47 Meters Down, Strangers: Prey at Night) reboot is an origin story. But will feature ties to the games set in 1998 on a fateful night in Raccoon City.
Roberts says: “With this movie, I really wanted to go back to the original first two games and re-create the terrifying visceral experience I had when I first played them whilst at the same time telling a grounded human story about a small dying American town that feels both relatable and relevant to today’s audiences.”

Producer Robert Kulzer says: “After a dozen games, six live-action movies and hundreds of pages of fan fiction, we felt compelled to return to the year 1998, to explore the secrets hidden in the walls of the Spenser Mansion and Raccoon City.“
Kulzer will once again produce this new entry in the series along with James Harris, and Hartley Gorenstein. Martin Moszkowicz and Victor Hadida are executive producers and Alex Westmore and Colin Scully will oversee the project.
Netflix is currently developing a Resident Evil live-action series and an animated series, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will be unleashed soon. Stay tuned!
