'With this movie I really wanted to go back to the original first two games and recreate the terrifying visceral experience I had when I first played them whilst at the same time telling a grounded human story about a small dying American town that feels both relatable and relevant to today's audiences," Resident Evil writer and director Jonathan Roberts said.

Between these cast members, an impressive resumé of previous work is brought to the table. Amell and McDonough have appeared on CW's DC Comics TV shows. McDonough and John-Kamen have both been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but never appeared in the same title.
