THE FUSE

Weapons director Zach Cregger’s upcoming Resident Evil film has gotten a bit of blowback from fans of Capcom’s horror series who felt it was shaping up to be Resident Evil in name only, considering it doesn’t feature characters like Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield. Though the existence of the film has been circulating online for months, up to this point the actual trailers and glimpses we’ve gotten of it haven’t established any clear connections between the movie and the games. That changes with the latest trailer, which finally namedrops Raccoon City in its closing stinger.
