Sony, Capcom to make Biohazard: Degeneration CGI movie
Taking a page from Square Enix‘s successful release of “Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children” a couple of years back, Capcom and Sony Pictures Entertainment have announced plans to release their own full-length CGI movie based on the hit Resident Evil (a.k.a. Biohazard in Japan) franchise.
The movie will be titled “Biohazard: Degeneration”, and will be the first full-length CG animation movie feature based on the popular video game series of games and movies.
Many will recognize Resident Evil for establishing the survival horror game genre and its many successful titles across multiple platforms since it was first released in 1996. The latest iteration to the series, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, marks the continuation of the video game franchise and shows no sign of stopping any time soon.
Following a successful spin-off on the silver screen, the trilogy of films produced and directed by Paul Anderson was well received by movie and video game buffs everywhere, with each movie grossing over US$ 100 million at the international box office. With Sony’s and Capcom’s announcement of this newest offspring for the series, fans of Resident Evil will definitely be watching out for this latest cinematic experience.
No news on the characters or its plot in the complicated timeline of the Resident Evil series have been announced, but we’re keeping our eyes open for any new developments from the two companies. Biohazard: Degeneration is currently in production and set to be released in 2008.
