CAPCOM announced on the official Japanese Biohazard/Resident Evil website on Thursday that a feature-length Biohazard CG anime film has been green-lit. The film is slated for a worldwide opening in 2017.
Takanori Tsujimoto (The Next Generation -Patlabor-, Ultraman X) will direct the film, with a script by Makoto Fukami (Psycho-Pass, School-Live!). Kenji Kawai (Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell) will compose the music. CG animation studio Marza Animation Planet will animate the film.
