Horror Fantasy Series “Grimm” Returns to Life With Reboot Movie

The new year starts off with a bang tomorrow for Resident Evil and George Romero fans, thanks to Uncork’d Entertainment and Key 13 Films. Announced back in 2022, Director Brandon Salisbury‘s George A. Romero’s Resident Evil documentary finally gets a release on digital and on-demand on January 7. And for those people who were in the dark about the whole thing, there’s a brand-new trailer to get you psyched up for what’s to come.

In 1998, Constantin Film set out to bring Resident Evil, the legendary horror video game developed by Capcom, to the big screen. They enlisted the man who redefined the zombie genre, George A. Romero, to adapt the project. But despite the perfect pairing of horror’s greatest minds, Romero’s vision for Resident Evil was never realized. Now, for the first time, Salisbury’s documentary uncovers the hidden story behind the project that captivated fans and the horror industry alike.

“George Romero gave birth to modern horror, the modern zombie, and ultimately Resident Evil,” says Salisbury. “I am honored to bring fans the untold story of his most important unmade project, to celebrate the legacy of the man that inspired me to pursue filmmaking as a career. I hope fans enjoy this ultimate experience in survival horror.”

George A. Romero’s Resident Evil aims to deliver an immersive, stylized experience, weaving together archival footage, newly uncovered documents, and fresh interviews with key personalities. Taking inspiration from documentaries like Frank Pavich‘s Jodorowsky’s Dune, Salisbury crafts a compelling narrative that revisits the people and the creative vision behind this unproduced adaptation. Through candid interviews with industry insiders, George A. Romero’s Resident Evil brings to light the enduring mystery and the ambitious spirit that could have redefined the franchise’s journey into Hollywood.

“Uncork’d is honored to bring George A. Romero’s Resident Evil to fans who have long awaited the untold story behind this legendary, unmade project,” says Keith Leopard, President of Uncork’d Entertainment. “This documentary pays homage to Romero’s incredible vision and the power of storytelling that transcends what could have been. We’re excited for audiences to finally experience the mystery and legacy of his work in a whole new way.”
