Director Andrew Saullo (who directed the Resident Evil fan film The Keeper’s Diary: A Biohazard Story) has released new information for his follow-up web series, Resurrection: A Biohazard Story, as well as the first promo images. The series, which will not be tied to official Resident Evil canon (for copyright reasons), will have a crowdfunding campaign launch in the near future.
The series will reunite members of the cast of the original Resident Evil cutscenes in Charlie Kraslavsky, Greg Smith, Eric Pirius and Linda, who played Chris Redfield, Barry Burton, Albert Wesker and Rebecca Chambers, respectively.
Written by Adi Attavane, Resurrection: A Biohazard Story aims to deliver “an intense cinematic limited series,” bringing back the aforementioned cast of the Resident Evil live-action cinematics, but also legendary voices from the series, including Pablo Kuntz (Albert Wesker 1996 voice actor), Joe Whyte (2002 Chris Redfield/Richard Aiken), Ward Sexton (the Resident Evil title screen voice) and more.
The story concerns a new biohazard crisis in the small town of Rosa Enferma, Mexico. This time around, multiple parties, new and old, are involved. As the S.T.A.R.S. members investigate the new bioagent (and battling the undead), old memories resurface, including a nightmare “returning to his fleshly body, resurrected and whole.”
And as before, to get the necessary funding for production, Saullo and his group will be launching an Indiegogo campaign. Fans will have the opportunity to support the project and gain access to exclusive perks, behind-the-scenes content, and limited-edition merchandise.
“After the overwhelming success in the crowdfunding campaign and release of The Keeper’s Diary: A Biohazard Story, we wanted to throw out hat into the ring once more, and create an exclusive fan series that leans into Resident Evil like never before,” explains director Andrew Saullo. “We want to capture the tension, the horror, and the action that fans love, while delivering an original story that expand on the legacy of these actors in a meaningful way.”
Currently, the project is nearing the end of pre-production, with the crowdfunding campaign launching in the coming months. Details on the Indiegogo campaign, as well as updates on production, will be coming in the near future. In the meantime, you can follow the Residence of Evil X account for more info.
