Resident Evil: Vendetta, known as Biohazard: Vendetta (バイオハザード ヴェンデッタ Baiohazādo Fō vu~endetta) in Japan, is an upcoming 2017 Japanese 3D animated horror film. It is part of the Resident Evil franchise, set in the same universe as the associated video games (unlike the live action films starring Milla Jovovich). The film features the characters Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers (after a lengthy absence from the series).[1] It will be the third CG movie, after Resident Evil: Degeneration in 2008, followed by Resident Evil: Damnation in 2012, and this film will mark the third with Leon as a main character. The film is produced by Marza Animation Planet,[2] written by Makoto Fukami and directed by Takanori Tsujimoto.[3] It is scheduled for release in Japan in the spring of 2017.[3]

Plot

The story will be set after the events of Resident Evil 6 and features Leon S. Kennedy in a scene riding a Ducati XDiavel.[4]

Capcom has stated that despite being called a reboot, it is still actually just a sequel. They were actually referring to the film's new tone.[5]

Cast

Production

A poster for the film and one screenshot emerged on 12 September, 2016.[8]

The first trailer was released during the Tokyo Game Show on 17 September 2016, along with new footage of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, the latest numbered title in the main gaming series.[9]

The first trailer shows Chris Redfield and some of his fellow BSAA soldiers entering a mansion infested with zombies, that resembles the mansion from the first Resident Evil game. Leon S Kennedy is seen walking alone inside a mortuary and is later seen discharging his handgun at an unknown off-screen target. Rebecca Chambers is confirmed to appear in the film but was not shown in the first trailer. An unknown man wearing a trench coat is also seen.[10]
