Raccoon City never looked this good.
The Big Picture If you’re the type of person that marathons the Resident Evil film series regularly, you’ll be overjoyed to learn that a new collection is coming your way. The Milla Jovovich adventure from Raccoon City to a zombie-infested world will be released this year in glorious 4K Ultra HD format and steelbook packaging that is absolutely a must for fans of the saga. All six movies will come with bonus material that guarantees a deep dive into the world idealized by Paul W. S. Anderson .
Even though the film series deviated pretty far from the story of the video games, Resident Evil managed to keep a loyal fanbase which always showed up to theaters to check out every new installment – which made the franchise rake in over $1 billion at the box office. This happened during a time when video game adaptations crashed and burned in movie theaters, which made the film series a rare exception as a title that hailed from the video game world and resonated with the public.
Resident Evil also helped the franchise become a part of popular culture, with the Umbrella Corporation from the story – a bioweapon company that started a virus infection that quickly kicked off a zombie apocalypse – getting referenced as the ultimate example of evil corporation which harms the planet and has shady deals and methods.
One element that initially drew Resident Evil fans away from the adaptation was the fact that protagonist Alice was not featured in any of the games of the franchise – she was created by screenwriter Paul W. S. Anderson specifically for the first movie. However, they were kept at bay when fan-favorite characters like Jill Valentine , Claire Redfield , Chris Redfield , Leon S. Kennedy and K-Mart were introduced to the franchise.
Milla Jovovich-Led 'Resident Evil' Still Stands Tall as Only Successful Adaptation of the Game Even though the Resident Evil film series had its share of popularity, the franchise can’t seem to find a new life in live-action format: In 2021, a reboot called Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City had an underwhelming performance in theaters and in 2022 the Netflix TV series Resident Evil got canceled by the streamer after a single season.
