New Trailer and Details for Netflix's RESIDENT EVIL: INFINITE DARKNESS

There is a Resident Evil CG anime coming to Netflix and Capcom called Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness. Netflix dropped a new trailer and details about the director and composer. The new series will be directed by Eiichiro Hasumi (Umizaru) and marks his first work in the realm of anime. Talking about working on such a big name project and the new medium, he said:

Being involved in a work with such a long history and so many fans gave me more joy than it did pressure. While this is a full CG anime, I strove to adjust the camerawork and lighting atmosphere to resemble the live-action filming I usually do to instill this work with a sense of realism. I hope that both fans of the “Resident Evil'' series and non-fans alike can enjoy watching the series in one go.

Meanwhile, the musical score is being composed by Yugo Kanno (Nioh 2). Having worked on anime series and games in the past, he had this to say:

I inherited the spirit of the many people who worked on the previous “Resident Evil” titles and took on the challenge of creating a new atmosphere through trial-and-error. I was keenly aware that this work would be released on Netflix, so I focused on the scale of a Hollywood film so that overseas viewers could also enjoy this. Since I received the same detailed orders as usual from Director Hasumi, I was not particularly conscious of the fact this was an animation during its production. In fact, it feels like I am only now realizing that this is an animated series (laughs).

You can check out a new character trailer focused on Leon S. Kennedy (Nick Apostolides) and Claire Redfield (Stephanie Panisello) briefly reuniting below. Are you excited for Infinite Darkness to release in July?

Leon, who is investigating a hacking incident, and Claire, visiting to petition the government to construct a welfare facility, have a chance reunion at the White House. A strange drawing from a little boy and an unexpected power outage in the White House mark the beginning of the infinite darkness.
