Encyclopedic overview
Resident Evil is a biopunk action horror film series produced and distributed by Sony Pictures based on the Japanese video game franchise by Capcom.
The German studio Constantin Film bought the rights to adapt the series to live action in January 1997. In 2000, Paul W. S. Anderson was announced as writer and director for Resident Evil (2002). Anderson continued as writer and producer for Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) and Resident Evil: Extinction (2007), and returned as the director for Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010), Resident Evil: Retribution (2012) and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016). These first six films follow Alice (Milla Jovovich), a character created specifically for the films. Alice is a former security specialist and covert operative who battles the Umbrella Corporation, whose bioweapons have triggered a zombie apocalypse. Characters from the games appear, including Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, Carlos Oliveira, Chris Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy, Barry Burton, and the antagonists Albert Wesker and James Marcus. The series was then rebooted twice. The first, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021), was directed by Johannes Roberts. The second, Resident Evil (2026), was directed by Zach Cregger.
