Video: Netflix animated series based on Resident Evil to premiere in July
Capcom revealed several details about the next game in the popular horror series during the Resident Evil Showcase event. The publisher also revealed a fresh trailer for the upcoming Netflix animated series, which will tell the story that unfolds after Resident Evil 4.
Producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi announced that Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will be released in July and mentioned that filming for the live-action reboot had been completed. The film’s release date has not been announced, but now its creators are working on computer graphics.
Netflix reported that Eiichiro Hasumi is directing the animated series, and Yugo Kanno is composing the project. This is Mr. Hasumi’s first anime, and in his statement, he said, “Although this anime is entirely CGI, I aimed to put the camera work and atmosphere through lighting to resemble the actual live filming that I usually specialize in – I want to give this work has a sense of realism. “
Resident Evil 2 remake actors Nick Apostolides and Stephanie Panisello will return to voice Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield in Resident Evil: Endless Darkness, respectively. The series will tell about the outbreak of the virus in the White House in 2006. Federal agent Leon S. Kennedy is called to investigate the incident, but a horde of zombies confronts him. Meanwhile, TerraSave employee Claire Redfield is in a country to help refugees; Claire gets into the hands of a boy’s mysterious drawing. Concerned that it depicts a victim of a viral infection, the heroine begins her own investigation. Over time, these two outbreaks of zombies in distant countries will lead to events that will shake the nation to its core.
Netflix officially unveiled Resident Evil: Endless Darkness last September. The series is in charge of the anime studio TMS Entertainment (the company that produced Akira and Lupine III). Quebec, whose director Kei Miyamoto produced the 2017 animated film Resident Evil: Vendetta, took over the animation production.
