The Story of the Resident Evil Documentary
In 1998, Constantin Film attempted to adapt Capcom’s popular video game Resident Evil for the big screen. An agreement was reached with George A. Romero, who redefined the horror genre, for this project. Unfortunately, Romero’s vision was never realized. Prepared by Brandon Salisbury, the documentary covers this unfinished story in detail and offers an in-depth look with archive footage, new documents, and interviews with key figures.
Romero’s passion for the project and his innovative approach to horror cinema form the main theme of the documentary. “Romero shaped the modern zombie and therefore Resident Evil. It is a great honor for me to share his untold story,” Salisbury says, emphasizing the importance of the documentary.
The documentary celebrates not only Romero’s Resident Evil adaptation, but also his influence on horror cinema. Inspired by Frank Pavich’s documentary “Jodorowsky’s Dune,” the production offers viewers an immersive and stylized experience. The documentary reveals Romero’s creative vision and the unknown aspects of the Resident Evil series’ journey to Hollywood.
Keith Leopard, President of Uncork’d Entertainment, stated that the documentary is a tribute to Romero’s unique storytelling and contribution to horror cinema. Resident Evil fans will witness a legendary story and rediscover the impact of one of the most important names in the horror genre on cinema with this documentary.
