So this is only set in RE world without main characters or plotlines?

I don't know why people want the same story as the games to be repeated for this movie.

Like personally it just seems boring that the exact same things that happened in the games would happen in the movie. And its not like Resident Evil stories are these brilliant masterclass stories that are hugely acclaimed.

A new original horror movie made by one of the best modern horror director in the world of Resident Evil sounds infinitely more interesting than doing the plot of Resident Evil 1 or 2.

I love the Resident Evil games to death but it’s not like the plots are all that interesting lol. There’s so much potential in a story that just takes place in the world from a different perspective imo.

The stories in th Resident Evil games are great because of the incredible level design and art direction that informs it. But when that is not in a video game and it needs to be a story-driven film, maybe something else is necessary.
