Eigentlich sollte Horror-Legende George A. Romero, der das Zombiefilm-Genre mit Klassikern wie Die Nacht der lebenden Toten und Zombie - Dawn of the Dead maßgeblich geprägt hat, eine Adaption der Videospiel-Reihe Resident Evil drehen. Der Dokumentarfilm George A. Romero's Resident Evil beleuchtet anhand von alten und neue Interviews mit Romeros Wegbegleitern, warum das Filmprojekt am Ende gescheitert ist und was es für ein Höhepunkt in dem Werk Romeros hätte werden können.

01:22The Resident Evil series exists because of him, and he'll never be forgotten.
