Netflix is closing out its Geeked Week today with new looks at\u00a0The Witcher, Cuphead,\u00a0<\/em>and more. The festivities also gave us our first real look at the live-action Resident Evil movie reboot called\u00a0Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City.\u00a0<\/em>With characters like Chris and Claire Redfield, Leon Kennedy, and Jill Valentine returning, the upcoming movie will be separate from the previously shared animated TV series<\/a> but aims to capture the spirit of the horror franchise much in the same way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While not a trailer like we were hoping for, the cast line-up looks incredible. May I also take a moment to gush that Lance Reddick is included in this cast as Albert Wesker,\u00a0because that’s amazing!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Been dying to announce this. Get ready to enter New Raccoon City with the cast of RESIDENT EVIL: LANCE REDDICK \/ ELLA BALINSKA \/ TAMARA SMART \/ SIENA AGUDONG \/ ADELINE RUDOLPH \/ PAOLA NUNEZ. #GeekedWeek<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ULKEFuYdAr<\/a><\/p>\n

The primary cast is revealed in the above post, including Ella Balinska, Lance Reddick, Tamara Smart, Adeline Rudolph, Paola Nunez, Siena Agudong.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see the characters we’ve known for so long once more, this time sans Milla Jovovich. Even more so with the director’s name behind it found in Johannes Roberts.\u00a0The upcoming movie reboot also\u00a0has an all-star team behind the film, including Robert Kulzer as producer (Paul W.S. Anderson’s\u00a0Resident Evil\u00a0<\/em>movies), James Harris (I Am Not A Serial Killer),\u00a0<\/em>Hartley Gorenstein (The Boys),\u00a0<\/em>and Martin Moszkowicz as executive producer. Alex Zhang (Greyhound)\u00a0<\/em>and Victor Hadida are slated to co-executive produce, with Colin Scully and Alex Westmore overseeing the entire live-action take.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With so many Resident Evil experiences happening at once, including Resident Evil Village’s recent release <\/a>and the upcoming TV series, it will be interesting to see how this new movie reboot compares. The original Paul W.S. Anderson series was met with a lot of excitement at their start, but each new movie seemed to stray further and further away from what Resident Evil means to fans of the franchise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We’ll be able to see more for ourselves when\u00a0Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City\u00a0<\/em>makes its theatrical debut<\/a>\u00a0on September 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
