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?
