The Resident Evil movie reboot is called Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, its director has revealed.
Johannes Roberts told IGN that Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City adapts the first two Resident Evil games, and includes the mansion from Resident Evil and the police station from Resident Evil 2. It has nothing to do with the Paul W. S. Anderson-directed movie series.
It sounds like Roberts, who previously directed deep-sea thriller 47 Meters Down, is going for a creepy horror vibe with the movie – he took inspiration from John Carpenter movies Assault on Precinct 13 and The Fog.
