Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, writer/director Johannes Roberts‘ reboot of the Resident Evil film franchise, will be in theatres tomorrow, November 24th, and today we’ve gotten our hands on another clip from the movie. You can check it out in the embed above, and this one shows the video game characters Leon Kennedy and Lisa Trevor crossing paths.
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is directly based on the first two Resident Evil video games, but even though I have played those games I’m not familiar with Lisa Trevor. That’s because she first appeared in the Resident Evil remake game that was released for Nintendo GameCube in 2002, six years after the game’s initial release. In the movie, Lisa Trevor is played by Marina Mazepa, who recently did some cool work in James Wan’s Malignant.
The film has the following synopsis:
Once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City is now a dying Midwestern town. The company’s exodus left the city a wasteland… with great evil brewing below the surface. When that evil is unleashed, the townspeople are forever… changed… and a small group of survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night.
In addition to Mazepa, the cast includes Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield, Avan Jogia as Leon Kennedy, Robbie Amell as Chris Redfield, Tom Hopper as Albert Wesker, Hannah John-Kamen as Jill Valentine, Neal McDonough as William Birkin, Donal Logue as Chief Brian Irons, Chad Rook as Richard Aiken, Lily Gao as Ada Wong, and Nathan Dale as Brad Vickers.
The Motion Picture Association has given Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City an R rating for strong violence and gore, and language throughout.
Our own Chris Bumbray has already seen the movie and gave it a 6/10 review you can read at THIS LINK.
