CAPCOM AND SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT JAPAN ANNOUNCE COPRODUCTION OF BIOHAZARD: DEGENERATION
Full-length CG Movie Based on the Hit Biohazard/Resident Evil Franchise To Be Released in 2008

CAPCOM Co., Ltd. (Osaka, Japan -- representative director and president: Haruhiro Tsujimoto; hereinafter "CAPCOM") and Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Japan -- representative director and president: Ken Munekata; hereinafter "SPEJ") have announced coproduction of "BIOHAZARD: Degeneration," the first full-length CG animation feature based upon the BIOHAZARD series of games and movies.

BIOHAZARD, began as a hit international video game franchise created by CAPCOM, then made its debut on the silver screen as the live-action film RESIDENT EVIL (the international film title for BIOHAZARD), distributed worldwide by Sony Pictures Entertainment. RESIDENT EVIL is the first trilogy of live-action movies to have come from a video game franchise. CAPCOM and Sony Picture's Japanese subsidiary SPEJ have teamed up to give birth to a CG-animated BIOHAZARD with groundbreaking visual effects and a brand-new story line.

Since its initial release in 1996, the BIOHAZARD series of games has established the "survival horror" genre and has shipped over a 33 million units worldwide, continuing to captivate its fans as a powerful property. CAPCOM will continue to release new games within the franchise, such as "BIOHAZARD: Umbrella Chronicles" and "BIOHAZARD 5"

The films "RESIDENT EVIL" and "RESIDENT EVIL 2: APOCALYPSE" have each grossed more than US$ 100 million at the Box Office internationally. "RESIDENT EVIL 3" aka "BIOHAZARD 3" (debuting throughout Japan on November 3) has been the biggest hit of the series in the US to date, adding to the high performance and public support for this franchise.

The full CG animation feature "BIOHAZARD: Degeneration" is currently in production, with plans for a terrifying release in 2008.

Thought I'll comfirm this here, but i'm hoping for Richard Waugh lending his talents to voice wesker in this film. At least it's going to be developed by Capcom and Sony so Capcom will have the story planned for this (Thank god). Thoughts?

One, sweet. two this could also suck because everyone is automatically going to assume this will look like advent children graphic wise. and if it doesn't people will start complaining like there's no tomrrow

Sounds very promising

could be good, i just hope the scripting is decent because if its like re1 im gonna shoot myself.

Fills me with dread, no doubt tying in more in line with the movies than the games.

Ty^

Read the title. I have no doubt its going to be based off the RE films. How dissapointing.

So this is the closest to an "anime treatment" Resident Evil will ever get? If so, then boo. ...But I'm not completely disappointed by this news. CGI RE over live action RE is definitely a better move, imo.

I really hope they do this one right, probably won't but I can hope.

if its like the movies then it'll safely be non-canon and we can relax, as ty said read the title and description

based on games and movies. its when theres a definative cross over, there could be conflict.

im excited, i enjoyed extiniction, and a CGI film could be significantly gorier and will allow the director to be more accute to the games than wat Anderson has been.

I'm crossing my fingers for this one, interesting they've got it together so quickly. I hope the Japanese involvment means the horror will be of a more subtle blend than 'Extinction'.
