New Resident Evil animated movie is coming in 2017

When it comes to movies in the Resident Evil franchise, I’ve always enjoyed the CG ones more than the live-action films. They feel like you’re actually watching a feature-length cutscene that follows the series’ lore, as opposed to the loose adaptation the live-action series has become. So I’m quite happy about this news.

We’re getting a brand new Resident Evil CG film in 2017. The executive producer will be Ju-On creator, Takashi Shimizu. It will be directed by Takanori Tsujimoto, written by Fukami Makoto, with music from Kenji Kawai.

As far as the film’s plot and characters go, all we know is that Leon will return, accompanied by Chris and Rebecca.
