Paul W.S Anderson's take on the Resident Evil franchise wasn't always well-received, both by fans and critics alike. However, the infamous line of campy movies were quite popular enough to receive multiple sequels.
Unfortunately, they weren't quite as faithful to the games. This has led many to wish for a proper movie adaptation of the games.
In 2020, fans got what they wanted. In fact, fans got more than what they wished because there are currently multiple Resident Evil movies in the works. This includes, among others, a cinematic reboot that will be helmed by Johannes Roberts.
The 44-year-old British film writer/director had previously worked on underwater thriller 47 Meters Down and its sequel, as well as the sequel to the 2008 horror film, The Strangers, titled The Strangers: Prey at Night in 2018. New Resident Evil Movie Gets a Release Date Roberts' Resident Evil film was first announced back in 2019. However, not much has been announced regarding the film. That is, until now.
Canadian actor Chad Rook took to Twitter to tease the official release date of the theatrical release of the Resident Evil film. He simply captioned it with "are you ready?" along with a teaser image that included the names of STARS members, as well as other prominent characters in the Resident Evil franchise.
The Siren actor is set to take on the role of STARS Bravo team member, Richard Aiken, in the upcoming Resident Evil film.
