Details on CG-animated feature Resident Evil: Degeneration

Seven years after the destruction of Raccoon City, Leon and Claire are back as the war against the zombies rages on in Resident Evil: Degeneration, a co-production of CAPCOM and Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan, based on the popular video game franchise.

Making its worldwide theatrical debut in Japan this week, on October 18, 2008, Resident Evil: Degeneration will be exhibited in the US at the New York City Horror Film Festival on November 13th and at a screening in Los Angeles on November 18th hosted by Fangoria.

Produced by renown gaming producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi (associate producer of Resident Evil: Apocalypse and video game producer of Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry 4) and directed by Makoto Kamiya (special effects director of L: Change The World, Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack), Resident Evil: Degeneration is a CG-animated thrill-ride that takes the zombie action of the blockbuster Resident Evil franchise to a whole new level.

The “Umbrella Incident” that took place in Raccoon City ended with a missile attack ordered by the government intended to wipe out the deadly zombie virus. Following this catastrophe, the Umbrella Corporation’s stock plummeted, bankrupting the business giant. Seven years later, at an airport in the Heartland of America, a commercial airliner unwittingly delivers some deadly cargo. Now, in an airport beginning to fill with the undead, the horrific disaster is about to repeat itself.
