The first full-length trailer of the upcoming Resident Evil reboot movie, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, has been released, and it reveals how all of the characters become involved with the outbreak in Raccoon City, as well as providing the first significant look at what kind of references and callbacks the film might make to the video game franchise. The picture will be released in theaters on November 24th, so there isn't much longer to wait.

Given that director Johannes Roberts previously stated that the reason for the reboot, at least for him, was to bring it more in line with the video games, the fact that the first trailer for Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City includes a number of direct-from-the-games references shouldn't be too surprising. When asked about the fact that the film was a reboot, Roberts previously stated, "I wanted to go back to the horror of it all." "Instead of full-on action, I wanted scares and atmosphere. Fans of the game, I believe, felt the same way: they wanted to see the iconic characters and places, and they wanted to feel that the movie was more in line with the Resident Evil gaming universe, so that's why we went that route.
