Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is based on Capcom’s Resident Evil video games series. The movie is a reboot of the Resident Evil film series starring Milla Jovovich and serves as an origin story for the original video games.
The new film is written and directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down). Roberts said in an interview with IGN that he was inspired by the original games and films such as The Exorcist and The Shining while making the new movie.
“This was all about returning to the games and creating a movie that was much more a horror movie than the sort of sci-fi action of the previous films,” the director said. “I was hugely influenced in particular by the remake of the second game and I really wanted to capture the atmosphere-drenched tone that it had.”
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City opens in theaters Nov. 24.
