"This, a bloody tale of revenge. これは、 血塗られた復讐の物語。" — Japanese tagline and translation |
Resident Evil: Vendetta, known in Japan as BIOHAZARD VENDETTA, is an upcoming feature-length CG film developed by a cooperation of Capcom and Marza Animation Planet. Overseen by Capcom supervisor Hiroyuki Kobayashi, the film is slated for a 2017 worldwide release. The film's intended style, in departure from the previous two films, is to welcome in more fans of anime such as PSYCHO-PASS and live-action horror films rather than cater entirely to established fans of the games.
Plot
The film features BSAA advisor Rebecca Chambers; BSAA SOU Captain Chris Redfield and US government agent Leon Scott Kennedy. Concept art shown suggests that an isolated mansion may be an aspect of the story. At one point Leon is advertised as riding an Italian Ducati motorcycle in an action sequence.
In the first teaser trailer, Chris and the BSAA raid a mansion in the middle of the woods and encounter several zombies. At least one of Chris' teammates are infected and eliminated. It appears that they escape afterward when Chris leaps out of a window. Leon is seen investigating a morgue in an unknown location and firing his gun. The antagonist is shown briefly.
Production
The film was announced on October 15, 2015 in a mission statement on Marza Animation Planet's official website. It was referred to as a "reboot", though in regards to the staff being different from the first two, and not in terms of plot.[1] The official title was announced on March 25, 2016,[2] being fomerly called "BIOHAZARD CG3".
Japanese filmmaker Takashi Shimizu will serve as the Executive Producer for the film. Shimizu is known for his directorship of such films as 2002's Ju-On: The Grudge and its 2004 American remake.
The film will feature a promotional campaign, for Ducati Motor Handling, to feature their latest motorcycle, the XDiavel, which will be used by Leon in the climax of the film.[3]
