One of these films is a live-action reboot project called Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. . The filming process for the film was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and when the broadcast schedule was determined, the studio again took similar steps.

Based on information from the media Variety, The film’s scheduled screenings on September 3 and 9 ended up being postponed to November 24, 2021. The reason for the delay this time was to avoid some kind of “collision” with the new Marvel film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. This delay is indeed quite unfortunate, but hopefully the studio can take advantage of the extra time available to polish the quality of the film.

Regarding the concept of the film itself, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is a different reboot project from the series by Paul WS Anderson. Johannes Roberts as the director said that the city of Raccoon will be treated like a character in the film. Because it still makes the iconic city as the main setting, the story will focus on the two original Resident Evil games, with the presence of Chris, Jill, Leon, and Claire as the main characters in the film.
