“Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City” has been pushed two months from Sept. 3 to Nov. 24, Sony Pictures announced on Wednesday.
Johannes Roberts (“47 Meters Down”) is directing and writing the origin story that will travel to Raccoon City in 1998, when a zombie apocalypse spread as a result of a deadly virus and bioweapon unleashed by the Umbrella Corporation. Roberts said the new film will be based largely on the first two video games in the “Resident Evil” franchise.
