A return to the origins of Resident Evil is on the cards, after Constantin Films confirmed they were working on a new movie, set in 1998.

Maze Runner‘s Kaya Scodelario will play Claire Redfield alongside Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp) as Jill Valentine, Robbie Amell (Upload) as Chris Redfield, Tom Hopper (The Umbrella Academy) as Albert Wesker, Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap) as Leon S. Kennedy, and Neal McDonough (Yellowstone) as William Birkin.

“With this movie, I really wanted to go back to the original first two games and re-create the terrifying visceral experience I had when I first played them,” Constantin’s Johannes Roberts explained,  “whilst at the same time telling a grounded human story about a small dying American town that feels both relatable and relevant to today’s audiences.”

Producer Robert Kulzer added, “After a dozen games, six live-action movies and hundreds of pages of fan fiction, we felt compelled to return to the year 1998, to explore the secrets hidden in the walls of the Spenser Mansion and Raccoon City.
