[RUMOUR] Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles movie will adapt Resident Evil Zero

[Darkknight2149]

A few weeks ago, it was rumoured by Giant Freakin' Robot that the Resident Evil film reboot would be adapting Resident Evil 4. However, a new report from Geek Vibes Nation is making the rounds, this time claiming that the film reboot will adapt the prequel Resident Evil Zero. Allegedly, there is no director attached and (like with Welcome to Racoon City) Paul W.S. Anderson serves as a producer. The synopsis follows:

The Umbrella Chronicles follows STARS operative Rebecca Chambers, and former Marine Billy Coen as they venture through a train that eventually takes them to a derelict training facility. Once within the facility, they discover they are being stalked by James Marcus, co-founder of the UmbrellaCorporation and creator of the T-virus, who has managed to resurrect himself with the aid of leech test-subjects. After a confrontation, Marcus mutates into a monstrosity, but is subdued by the duo. Chambers and Coen escape as the facility self-destructs.

After the success of TLOU, they’d be stupid to not adapt the games faithfully.
