Now *this* I could get behind.For the love of god cast David Boreanaz if its older grizzled RE5/RE6 Chris
I don't expect it to be that great, but I'll watch it and it'll probably be entertaining enough.
I'm assuming the reason they chose to film this in South Africa was because they needed scenes involving the discovery of the Progenitor Virus (which in the games, it's discovered in South Africa and that's where things really get going). Going to be weird to see them try to fake Maryland in South Africa as well, though, but I guess that'd be easier than the other way around (faking Africa within Maryland).
This actually fits entirely with something that was rumored years ago, I can't find it but I really do remember a rumor from several years ago about a Resident Evil TV series that got greenlit about the creation of the T-Virus, the first major outbreak, and three powerful factions trying to cover it up, and the series going to be more about conspiracies and the horror of secrets and a town going to Hell. I can't find this anymore, but I swear this plot detail sounds almost exactly like the rumor from years back.

I really hope it's animated.
All the weird and crazy monsters would look crap on a tv budget. Not to mention they would be on screen for about 2 minutes tops.

They're filming for several months in South Africa.
I seriously doubt it's going to be animated.
Almost bound to be the best Resident Evil thing outside of the games.
Could still end up also being bad.
Clearfield because Claire Redfield?
There doesn't seem to be a Clearfield in Maryland, there's one in Pennsylvania. Guess it was relocated.

I suffered through all of the films so I'll watch it, but honestly not that hyped from the description. Why not just set it in Raccoon City rather than this new place? An asylum where experiments are being run on inmates is the most generic thing they could come up with (and RE wasn't particularly original in the first place). This sounds like it has the potential to just be a generic zombie show which name drops Umbrella ... similar to how the films ended up.
I'm much more interested in the Devil May Cry animated series from the Castlevania guys, if it's still happening.
Right there with you. An animated Resident Evil series has always been a dream of mine.

Thanks for the dream and taking it away. God it's too perfect.
We still got at least that Dragon's Dogma thing in the pipeline, yeah?
