About Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City

Johannes Roberts is the writer and director of the upcoming survival horror film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. It is a reboot of the Resident Evil film series, which is partly based on the video game series of the same name. It is based on Capcom’s first and second games.

After the release of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter in early 2017, producer James W showed interest in the concept. Constantin Film chairman Martin Moszkowicz later stated that a remake of the film series was in the works.

The reboot was announced the following month, with Wan producing and Greg Russo writing the script. Roberts was hired as a writer and director in December 2018 and Wan left the project. Shooting in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada began on October 17, 2020. The film was re-shot in May 2021.
