Resident Evil movie director wants Resident Evil 4 to be part of the "next installment"
Exclusive: Resident𓆉 Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City could lead 𒀰to even more Resi Evil movies

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City looks set to be a more faithful adaptation of the game than the p☂revious, Paul W.S. Anderson-directed movies. And, like the ga✨mes, there's potential for the newly rebooted cinematic universe to become a sprawling mass of movies.
"Over these last few years, there’s been a change in how computer-game adaptations are made and perceived, and about an audience that was going to see it," director Johannes Roberts tells SFX, . "There was always the t𒀰hought process that gamers don’t tend to come out to the cinema, and you need to appeal to other audiences. This movie’s concept is to be a scary, standalone movie that should really appeal to a broad audience. What was interesting was how seriously we can take the IP that it was based on."
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City will primarily adapt the first two games in the series, and, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:in the first trailer, we even saw glimpses of characters from other games – including the Ashford twins from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Resident Evil: Code Veronica.
"I am obsessed with the fourth game," he continues. "I could very much see that becoming part of the next installment. There’s a lot of interesting lore and tiny details that we have brought into this movie, but would be amazing to expand on. There are ch♏aracters that we didn’t use in this game that we would love to expand upon in the next movie. There’s also a different side of Resident Evil with Village and Resident Evil 7, where it’s a much darker, more horrific world.
"It would be great to look into that side of things as well. There’s definitely been conversations. We&rꦚsquo;ve really created some iconic char💧acters with Chris, Claire, Wesker, and Leon. Hopefully it’s the beginning of a whole new chapter."
