Resident Evil anime gets new trailer, director and composer revealed
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Netflix's original computer graphic anime based on Resident Evil is
nearing its release. A new trailer was released showing off the
characters in Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness today. Series
mainstays Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield can be seen in the
exciting video. The anime series will celebrate the horror gaming
franchise's 25th anniversary and will launch in July 2021.
The director is Eiichiro Hasumi, who has previously helmed Japanese
hits such as The Sun Does Not Move. "Being involved in a work with
such a long history and so many fans gave me more joy than it did
pressure," explained Hasumi. "While this is a full CG anime, I strove
to adjust the camerawork and lighting atmosphere to resemble the
live-action filming I usually do to instill this work with a sense of
realism. I hope that both fans of the "Resident Evil" series and
non-fans alike can enjoy watching the series in one go."
Meanwhile, Yugo Kanno will be handling the anime's original score.
"I inherited the spirit of the many people who worked on the
previous Resident Evil titles and took on the challenge of creating
a new atmosphere through trial-and-error," says Kanno. "I was keenly
aware that this work would be released on Netflix, so I focused on
the scale of a Hollywood film so that overseas viewers could also
enjoy this. Since I received the same detailed orders as usual from
Director Hasumi, I was not particularly conscious of the fact this
was an animation during its production. In fact, it feels like I am
only now realizing that this is an animated series."

The official synopsis states, "In 2006, there were traces of
improper access to secret Presidential files found in the White
House's computer network. American federal agent Leon S. Kennedy is
among the group invited to the White House to investigate this
incident, but when the lights suddenly go out, Leon and the SWAT
team are forced to take down a horde of mysterious zombies.
Meanwhile, TerraSave staff member Claire Redfield encounters a
mysterious image drawn by a young boy in a country she visited,
while providing support to refugees. Haunted by this drawing, which
appears to be of a victim of viral infection, Claire starts her own
investigation. The next morning, Claire visits the White House to
request the construction of a welfare facility. There, she has a
chance reunion with Leon and uses the opportunity to show him the
boy's drawing. Leon seems to realize some sort of connection between
the zombie outbreak at the White House and the strange drawing, but
he tells Claire that there is no relation and leaves. In time, these
two zombie outbreaks in distant countries lead to events that shake
the nation to its very core."
