‘Resident Evil’ Animated Film Coming in 2017
There’s more than one Resident Evil film project in the works, and it’s going to be another animated flick. Much of it is still under wraps right now, but we do know it’s slated to release in 2017, after the live-action sequel Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
This will be the third feature-length CGI film in the series — following Degeneration in 2008 and Damnation in 2012 — and the first to replace Japanese animation house Digital Frontier with the Sega-owned Marza Animation Planet, which has previously worked on a number of animated films based on the Sonic franchise.
The film is being written by Makoto Fukami (Psycho-Pass) with Takanori Tsujimoto (Bushido Man) in the director’s seat. Capcom’s Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who produced the first two CGI films, will return as an executive supervisor. He is joined by executive producer Takashi Shimizu (The Grudge).
We now have two movies, a remaster, a bundle, a spin-off, a remake and, eventually, even a full-fledged sequel. Surely, one of these has to be good, right?
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
