In 1998, Constantin Film approached legendary director George A Romero to bring the gory, zombie-infested video game RESIDENT EVIL to the big screen. Despite the best efforts of everyone involved, the proposed adaptation never materialized. The story behind the project and what happened has gained mythical status in 25-plus years since its inception. Now, director Brandon Salisbury’s new documentary, GEORGE A ROMERO’S RESIDENT EVIL reveals the hidden history of one of the greatest “what could have been” stories in cinematic horror. The documentary is currently available on digital and On Demand. We hope to have a full review soon, but until then, check out the trailer below.
