Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is the oncoming movie of the horror genre of the series Resident Evil. It is based on the game by Capcom going by the same name. Capcom cooperation Ltd is a Japanese game developer and producer which has developed many renown games like  Resident Evil, Monster Hunter Street Fighter, Mega Man, Dead Rising, etc.

Raccoon City, once the thriving headquarters of pharmaceutical company Umbrella Corporation, is now a decaying Midwestern town in Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. The decamping of the company left the city a wasteland, with enormous evil seething beneath the surface.

When that evil is left free, the citizens are forever transformed, and a small number of survivors must be together to learn the truth of the Umbrella and survive the dawn. Fan and filmmaker Roberts returns to the horrific roots of the enormously popular Resident Evil franchise, bringing the games of the billion-dollar franchise and the most prosperous video game tailoring in history.

The film that would become Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City has been in the works since 2017, when Constantin Film, the franchise’s production house, began exploring ways to move the series into the future. Variety broke the story shortly after the release of Paul W.S. Anderson’s final zombie horror film Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, but there were few facts at the time. However, much has been straightened out in the last five years, and we’re only a few months away from returning to Raccoon City.

  • Directed by: Johannes Robert
  • Produced by: Martin Moszkowicz, James Harris, Hartley Gorenstein, Robert Kulzer
  • Written by: Johannes Robert

This reboot will take a more plot-driven approach to the saga’s games, beginning with this production, which will be based on the classic Resident Evil 1 and 2 with its trademark darker tone.

For this, the film’s production team collaborated directly with Capcom to reconstruct both the Spencer Mansion and the Raccoon City Police Department, both of which are iconic locations in the Resident Evil franchise and have played a role in everything related to it.

During an SXSW interview with Roberts, the filmmaker stated, “Obviously, there is the Resident Evil movie franchise, and my film has nothing to do with it.” It’s a whole different genesis tale based on the video game series foundations and the horror genre. “We’re not making a remake,” says the cast. We are taking an altogether different path. It was a privilege to overpower the reins of a new franchise.”

Furthermore, director Johannes Roberts stated in a statement (also via Deadline) that he intended to duplicate the first two games’ “terrifying physical experiences” while also telling a narrative story set in a decaying American town.

Legendary figures such as Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Leon S. Redfield appear in the first two games of the series, which are set in 1998.

Kennedy will appear in this new show, and the actors who will portray them have already been cast:

  • Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield
  • Hannah John-Kamen as Jill Valentine
  • Robbie Amell as Chris Redfield
  • Avan Jogia as Leon S. Kennedy

Additionally, the cast will be seen Neal McDonough as William Birkin, and Tom Hopper as Albert Wesker, one of the most anticipated roles. It’s raining, it’s dark all the time, and it’s creepy. Raccoon City is a horrible character in the movie, and the atmosphere of the games is something I wanted to incorporate into “Roberts concluded. Tom Hopper, of The Umbrella Academy and Game of Thrones fame, will play Albert Wesker, a lifelong enemy in the series. Ada Wong (Lily Gao), William Birkin (Neal McDonough), and Chief Brian Irons (Donal Logue) are among the major Resident Evil characters expected to appear.
