Constantine Film and writer-director Johannes Roberts’ Resident Evil reboot is currently set for a September release date. And today we have the new poster.
Check it out below.
Roberts’ (47 Meters Down, Strangers: Prey at Night) reboot will be an official origin story with faithful 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.“
Kaya Scodelario stars as Claire Redfield with Robbie Amell as Chris Redfield, Avan Jogia as Leon S. Kennedy, and also Hannah John-Kamen as Jill Valentine. Tom Hopper joins them as Albert Wesker with Neal McDonough as William Birkin and Donal Logue as Chief Brian Irons. Chad Rook rounds out the cast as Richard Aiken. Lily Gao is Ada Wong and Marina Mazepa is Lisa Trevor.
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!
