Constantin Film has set in motion a new adaptation to add to the ever-expanding Resident Evil movie franchise. Constantin and writer-director Johannes Roberts said Tuesday that have conceived an official origin story adaptation with faithful ties to Capcom’s classic survival horror games. This story is set in 1998 on a fateful night in Raccoon City.

Starring in the roles of the iconic game characters will be Maze Runner‘s Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield alongside Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp) as Jill Valentine, Robbie Amell (Upload) as Chris Redfield, Tom Hopper (The Umbrella Academy) as Albert Wesker, Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap) as Leon S. Kennedy, and Neal McDonough (Yellowstone) as William Birkin.

“With this movie, I really wanted to go back to the original first two games and re-create the terrifying visceral experience I had when I first played them whilst at the same time telling a grounded human story about a small dying American town that feels both relatable and relevant to today’s audiences, said Roberts, the filmmaker behind shark thriller 47 Meters Down and its sequel.

Franchise producer Robert Kulzer will produce again on behalf of Constantin with James Harris from Tea Shop Productions and Hartley Gorenstein. Said Kulzer, “After a dozen games, six live-action movies and hundreds of pages of fan fiction, we felt compelled to return to the year 1998, to explore the secrets hidden in the walls of the Spenser Mansion and Raccoon City.

Someone Put ‘Animal Crossing’s Isabelle in ‘Resident Evil 3’ & It’s Disturbing AF

The Resident Evil 3 remake has only been out a few days, and somebody has already merged the survival horror game with Animal Crossing.

Animal Crossing secretary Isabelle has been brought into the zombie apocalypse courtesy of a mod by Nexus Mods user, Crazy Potato.

“Jill is a fan,” said Crazy Potato of his somewhat disturbing mod that puts Isabelle’s head on the body of Resident Evil protagonist Jill Valentine. So, as opposed to altering the entire character, which is generally the case with mods, it’s simply Isabelle from the neck up, and all Jill from the shoulders down. Creepy.

Crazy Potato’s Isabelle mod arrives as Resident Evil 3 released this past Friday, April 3, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC, while Animal Crossing: New Horizons launched March 20 on Nintendo Switch. You can download the skin now here.
