George A. Romero's Resident Evil

George A. Romero's Resident Evil is an upcoming American documentary film directed and co-written by Brandon Salisbury.[1] The documentary is about the unrealized film adaptation of the horror video game series Resident Evil, for which filmmaker George A. Romero was considered as a director; in 1998, Romero completed a draft of a screenplay for a Resident Evil film for Sony Pictures, but the game series' publisher, Capcom, rejected the script.[2] A film adaptation written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and produced by Constantin Film was eventually released in 2002.[2]
