Resident Evil live-action setting and cast announced
According to online sources, the upcoming Johannes Roberts’ (47 Meters Down) live-action Reboot of Resident Evil will focus on the original two games in the series (Resident Evil 1 and Resident Evil 2).
Those sources have also claimed that the main roles have been cast as well:
- Kaya Scodelario – Claire Redfield
- Robbie Amell – Chris Redfield
- Hannah John-Kamen – Jill Valentine
- Tom Hopper – Albert Wesker
- Avan Jogia – Leon S. Kennedy
- Neal McDonough – William Birkin
Per Johannes Roberts:
With this movie, I really wanted to go back to the original first two games and recreate the terrifying visceral experience I had when I first played them whilst at the same time telling a grounded human story about a small dying American town that feels both relatable and relevant to today’s audiences.
