Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, writer/director Johannes Roberts‘ reboot of the Resident Evil film franchise, is currently available to watch on VOD – you can rent it through Amazon Prime right now – and will be coming to 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD release on February 8th. You can get information on the physical media release at THIS LINK, and pre-order copies on Amazon. Those are the ways you can see the movie, but if you’re interested in knowing about some things that were designed for the movie but didn’t end up on the screen, you’ll be interested to see what was shared to Applied Arts FX Studio’s Instagram account.
Applied Arts FX posted a batch of concept art that was created by Daniel Carrasco, letting followers know that they were showing off “lots of concept stuff that was in the works at various times for an earlier version of the script, and some alternative ideas. Hardly touches on the design work Daniel Carrasco did with us on (Resident Evil) over several months last year.” This concept art gives a look at different designs for some characters and creatures that did appear in Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, while revealing that things that didn’t make it to the screen – like a spider monster and the Tyrant creature known as Mr. X – must have been mentioned in an earlier draft of the script.
