Cast and crew of 'Resident Evil' attend film's premiere in Los Angeles

The cast and crew of the upcoming 'Resident Evil' reboot gathered in Los Angeles on Tuesday, to celebrate the film ahead of its September 18 theatrical release.

The film adaptation prioritizes capturing the atmospheric, gameplay-driven experience of the video game franchise over replicating its established characters and storylines. Original story replaces the traditional canon characters from the nine mainline games, though the director deliberately crafted an original narrative meant to feel like playing the games.
