George A. Romero's Resident Evil is an upcoming American documentary film directed and co-written by Brandon Salisbury.[1] The documentary is about the unrealized film adaptation of the horror video game series Resident Evil, for which filmmaker George A. Romero was considered as a director; in 1998, Romero completed a draft of a screenplay for a Resident Evil film for Constantin Film, but the game series' publisher, Capcom, rejected the script.[2] A film adaptation written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and produced by Constantin Film was eventually released in 2002.[2]
George A. Romero's Resident Evil features interviews with figures associated with the unrealized Resident Evil adaptation,[2][3] as well as archival footage and "unearthed documents" that pertain to the project.[4] The documentary is filmed in a mansion, intended to be reminiscent of the fictional Spencer Mansion that served as the setting for the first Resident Evil game.[2][3] Pablo Kuntz, the original voice of Albert Wesker in the original game, narrates the documentary.[5]
