Resident Evil: Degeneration
Making its worldwide theatrical debut in Japan 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 spectacular, CG-animated thrill-ride that takes the terrifying zombie action of the blockbuster Resident Evil franchise to a whole new level with jaw-dropping visual effects and heart-pounding suspense.
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.
The war against the zombies rages on as you've never seen it before in Resident Evil Degeneration, arriving on Blu-ray™ High-Def, DVD and PSP this December 30, 2008, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Resident Evil Degeneration is a spectacular, CG-animated thrill-ride that takes the terrifying zombie action of the blockbuster Resident Evil franchise to a whole new level with jaw-dropping visual effects and heart-pounding suspense.

First of all, this sounds really cool, but when I saw the trailer: What the hell? "is a spectacular, CG-animated thrill-ride "
The CG, seriusly Leon doesn`t even look like Leon in Resident Evil 4. And the 3D could have looked better, is it just me who think that there mouths didn`t sink up with there talking.
I REALLY REALLY hope this will be a good CG movie.
And secondly, why the hell havn`t Andersson made a resident evil movie with Leon in it??
I really hope they will make more and better Resident Evil movies with the original charachters, cause they have destroyed the series totally.
