This is the final trailer for the upcoming documentary Resident Evil by George A. Romero. This doc explores Romero’s attempt to make a film adaptation of the hit video game Resident Evil and why it collapsed.
Romero launched his Resident Evil film in 1998 at Constantin Films, and it seems there were many reasons why the project wasn’t made. The document comes from the director Brandon Salisburyand aims to “immerse audiences in a cinematic horror aesthetic”.
Salisbury said: “George Romero brought modern horror, modern zombie and ultimately Resident Evil to life. I’m honored to bring fans the untold story of his biggest project yet, to celebrate the legacy of the man who inspired me to pursue a career in film. I hope fans enjoy this definitive survival horror experience.”
The film will pay homage to Romero’s style and the game itself. It also takes place in a mansion that will resemble Resident Evil’s Spencer Mansion and will be shot to mimic Romero’s cinematic style.
Romero’s original script for the film was leaked online and remained relatively close to the source material. It seems like it would have been really cool to see Romero actually pull it off. Unfortunately, Capcom didn’t like the script due to its violent content.
Keith LeopardThe president of Uncork’d Entertainment said in a statement: “Uncork’d is honored to bring Resident Evil by George A. Romero to fans who have long been waiting for the untold story behind this legendary and unrealized project.
“This documentary pays homage to Romero’s incredible vision and the power of storytelling that transcends what could have been. We are thrilled that audiences can finally experience the mystery and legacy of his work in a whole new way.”
The film will be released digitally and on demand on January 7.
