Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, a reboot of the Resident Evil film franchise, is set to reach theatres on November 24th, and in the build up to that release date Sony has been putting out featurettes that focus on the film’s versions of popular characters from the Resident Evil video games. We’ve seen Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield, Avan Jogia as Leon Kennedy, Robbie Amell as Chris Redfield, and Tom Hopper as Albert Wesker (and all of those featurettes are embedded below), and now the video embedded above introduces us to Hannah John-Kamen as Jill Valentine.
In this video, we see that Jill is good with guns, steals sandwiches, and drops a line of dialogue that brings in mind a Linnea Quigley moment from The Return of the Living Dead (watch it HERE).
Written and directed by Johannes Roberts, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is directly based on the first two Resident Evil games and 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 Scodelario, Jogia, Amell, Hopper, and John-Kamen, the cast includes Neal McDonough as William Birkin, Donal Logue as Chief Brian Irons, Chad Rook as Richard Aiken, Lily Gao as Ada Wong, Nathan Dale as Brad Vickers, and Marina Mazepa as Lisa Trevor.
The Motion Picture Association has given Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City an R rating for strong violence and gore, and language throughout.
