Japanese trailer for Resident Evil: The Final Chapter has new footage

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Haven't gotten your fill of trailers for RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER yet? Well, you're in luck, as the trailer for the film's release in Japan (where the franchise is known as BIOHAZARD rather than RESIDENT EVIL) has made its way online, and it even contains new footage!

Writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson, who got the video game adaptation series off the ground with 2002's RESIDENT EVIL, is once again at the helm for the sixth and what they're telling us is the last entry in the cinematic saga. This one picks up right where the previous sequel, RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION, ended and 

finds humanity is on its last legs. Alice must return to Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is preparing for a final strike against the survivors of the apocalypse.

In a race against time Alice will join forces with old friends, and an unlikely ally, in an action packed battle with undead hordes and new mutant monsters. Between losing her superhuman abilities and Umbrella’s impending attack, this will be Alice’s most difficult adventure as she fights to save humanity, which is on the brink of oblivion.

Milla Jovovich is back as heroine Alice, fighting zombie hordes and various other monsters alongside Ali Larter, Iain Glen, Shawn Roberts, Ruby Rose, Eoin Macken, William Levy, Fraser James, Rola, and Lee Joon-gi. 

RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER is scheduled to reach theatres on January 17, 2017, which gives me a little time to catch up on the sequels I missed. The Japan release is several weeks earlier – audiences in that country will be able to go see the movie on December 23rd of this year.
