Why The Original Resident Evil Movie Didn't Adapt The Games
While it seemed like the obvious route, here's why the original Resident Evil movie didn't actually adapt any of the video games. Since the Resident Evil games debuted in 1996, the franchise has been spin-off in just about every medium. The first movie arrived in 2002 and spawned five direct sequels and a 2021 reboot debuted Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City. The property has also received three animated films, a Netflix animated series and an upcoming live-action Resident Evil show starring Lance Reddick as Wesker.
