Yes, you've read that right! Reports suggest that a sequel to the 2021 action-horror film, which received massively negative criticism from both critics and audiences, is currently being developed. And if that revelation wasn't surprising enough, we have an even bigger surprise: the government has a vested interest in this project.
, the Greater Sudbury area will receive $11 million in funding from the provincial government. It will come through the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation, which aims to support various local initiatives. Among the beneficiaries of this fund is a film project titled "Umbrella Chronicles," which is slated to receive $2 million in financial support.
The production of Umbrella Chronicles will be helmed by Raccoon HG Film Productions, the same company responsible for overseeing the production of Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City in Greater Sudbury.
While information about the project remains scarce, fans of the Resident Evil franchise will immediately recognize the title "Umbrella Chronicles" from the 2007 Capcom game, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.
