What’s more, the game title’s popularity has grown in recent years, thanks to the amazingly stellar Resident Evil 7 and Capcom’s just-released remake of 1998’s Resident Evil 2.
It’s not hard to understand why any studio would want to back a new Resident Evil live-action project, especially one with the marketability of a TV series.
The films, which spanned from 2002-2016, may not have been the most critically lauded, but they’ve combined to gross over $1.2 billion worldwide.
