We had the teaser for the upcoming documentary on George A. Romero‘s failed Resident Evil project way back in March. And now, thanks to the fine people at Residence of Evil, we now have the full trailer for director Brandon Salisbury‘s George A. Romero’s Resident Evil, which is slated for a 2024 release.
Produced by Key 13 Films in association with Point Five Films and written by Salisbury and Robbie McGregor, the documentary provides a look back at what went down with Romero’s script for Resident Evil and Constantin Films back in 1998. George A. Romero’s Resident Evil is a stylized documentary, utilizing archived footage, unearthed documents, and newly filmed interviews with a wide variety of personalities.
Much like the teaser before it, the trailer does delve into fan service with clips of the first game, Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, recreations of the S.T.A.R.S members in the forest and more. The documentary itself will be combining elements from Capcom’s hit video game series (taking place in a mansion that echoes the look of Resident Evil‘s Spencer Mansion) and the raw, visceral style of George A. Romero to full immerse the audience in a cinematic horror aesthetic.
While we wait for an official release date (and details on who the talking heads are for the documentary), check out Daniel’s overview of what we know so far as to what Romero had in mind for the film, and the roadblocks that eventually caused his script to be dropped.
