Forget the Resident Evil movies that were directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starred Milla Jovovich, from the look of this new trailer this one is a re-telling set in the world of the original video game.
The video game was first released on the Playstation 1 in 1996 and saw a group of soldiers trying to solve the mystery of Raccoon City when they get trapped in a large mansion infested with zombies.
And in this new trailer the moment you see the mansion hallway you are taken straight into the video game.
The new movie is directed by Johannes Roberts and stars Hannah John-Kamen and Kaya Scodelario and has a release date of December 3rd in the UK and November 24th in America.
