There are a lot of Resident Evil films and adaptations in the works, so to clear the air, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is a new feature-length movie reboot completely unrelated to the franchise previously directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Mila Jovovich.
Constantin Film, the same production company that produced the first Resident Evil film franchise, is working on Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. The film has already announced who it has cast for its main roles which you can see in the gallery below.Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is not to be confused with a couple of projects in the works at Netflix including the animated CGI movie Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, and a live-action Resident Evil TV series spinoff starring Wesker’s children.
