Sony Pictures finally unveiled Thursday the long-awaited trailer for the movie “Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City”.
The movie stars Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield, Avan Jogia as Leon Kennedy, Tom Hopper as Albert Wesker, Nathan Dales as Brad Vickers, Hannah John-Kamen as Jill Valentine, Robbie Amell as Chris Redfield, and Marina Mazepa as Lisa Trevor.
This will be Trevor’s first time to appear on the big screen.
The movie is written and directed by Johannes Roberts. It serves as an origin story to the Resident Evil games and focuses on “Resident Evil” and “Resident Evil 2”.
It is produced by Robert Kulzer, James Harris, and Hartley Gorenstein.

The trailer follows Claire Redfield (Scodelario), a college student who returns home to investigate the shady Umbrella Corporation which she believes has experimented on many people in the town.
She brings her theories to her brother (Amell), who doesn't believe her at first but comes around after she shows him a tape of a man talking about an incident that occurred in the company.
However, he was interrupted by a number of monstrous former humans.
The pair gears up with their team and breaks into a mansion full of people that were experimented on by the corporation, many of whom still haunt the halls looking for blood and flesh to consume.
The footage is filled with references from the video game series such as the "first zombie," as it's affectionately known, that appears at the beginning of Resident Evil's inaugural outing on the Sony PlayStation in 1996.
The movie also recreated Resident Evil 2's design for the Raccoon City Police Department, and the harrowing truck crash sequence that helps kick-start the second game's story as well as the sinister Ashford twins, who first appeared in the 2000 game Resident Evil, "Code: Veronica."
Roberts previously revealed that the movie will perge from the prior Resident Evil movies because it will focus more on horror rather than being an action movie.
“I was hugely influenced in particular by the remake of the second game and I really wanted to capture the atmosphere-drenched tone that it had. It was so cinematic. The previous movies were very bright and shiny whereas this movie was dark and grimy, entirely shot at night.” he added.
“Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City” was previously set to be released in early September, which is also the release date of Marvel’s adventure “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”.
Set in the late 1990s, the plot centered around a small group of survivors in Raccoon City, who must work together to uncover the truth behind the pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation and make it through the night.
“Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City” debuts on November 24.
