New Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness Trailer Features Zombie Rats And Its Own Hulk

A not-so-jolly green giant and a July release date headline the latest Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness trailer.

If you're in the mood for vomiting zombies, weird bioweapon monsters, and infected rats carrying a new strain of virulent mutagens, then a new trailer from Netflix for its upcoming CGI series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will probably appeal to you. While it's not a red band trailer, the teaser below still contains enough of Resident Evil's trademark grimness to make you regret having lunch. It also confirms a July 8 release date.

Taking place two years after the events of Resident Evil 4, Infinite Darkness stars Resident Evil 2 protagonists Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they tackle a zombie infestation in The White House. Leon at this point is still working for the Secret Service, while Claire is looking to finally take down the Umbrella corporation and drag the bioweapon manufacturer into the public spotlight.

The trailer above also shows off what appears to be a flashback to a theater of war in the Middle East, and a Hulk-like zombie who happens to be chattier than the usual Nemesis or Tyrant-type Umbrella bioweapons.

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is just one of several upcoming projects set in that universe that will be out soon. May kicked off with Resident Evil Village earning critical acclaim, a live-action series spin-off is in development, and Resident Evil's cinematic reboot finished filming at the end of 2020.

How is it that NetherRealm studios' facial capture work on their last two major games is still infinitely better than this?

Injustice 2 in particular had more natural, expressive faces, and better-acted to boot. Kind of pitiful that cinematics from a video game can look better than an actual video feature, especially 4 years after the fact.

I mean, this looks okay, but the stilted faces are killing me, especially that "main" guy there.

I saw this earlier, the thing which interested me most is that it sounds like they might have actually gotten Alyson Court to voice Claire Redfield, or at least someone who shounds more like how Claire did in the past. Unfortunately, it's a Netflix exclusive, and we cancelled our subscription over a year ago after they made Cuties. So unless it eventually comes to Amazon Video or Hulu, I won't be watching it.

LOL, Netflix didn't make Cuties, they simply bought the online streaming license for it outside of Europe. And Cuties is a French coming of age film criticizing sexualizing of young girls, you'd know this if you actually watched the film instead of blindly believing in right-wing propaganda.
