In what will come as a delight for fans of the popular video-game franchise Resident Evil, a new movie adaptation is on its way.
Backed by German production house Constantin Film, the movie is being helmed by Johannes Roberts (of 47 Meters Down fame) and will feature an ensemble cast which features the likes of Kaya Scodelario (The Maze Runner, Crawl), Robbie Amell (The Babysitter, The Flash), Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap), Hannah John-Kamen (Black Mirror, Game of Thrones) and other notable names.
Set to feature iconic characters such as Jill Valentine and the Redfield siblings, the reboot will serve as an origin story to an all-new movie franchise based on the popular video-game series from CapCom.
The movie will reset the previous movie timeline in which Milla Jovovich starred, and will work as a return to the roots of the original video game.

According to the director Johannes Roberts, who is taking over from Paul W.S. Anderson, the movie will go back to the roots of the first two games, and will be a 'visceral, horror experience'.
