We have been pretty much writing about the Resident Evil Series here, pretty much as it is one of the game/movie series that have their weapons in existence in the airsoft market. This is mainly a partnership between CAPCOM the game owner and Tokyo Marui, the venerable airsoft company. But for the movie series, it's more of between CAPCOM and Constatin Film. With the final Resident Evil movie "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" in the works, there has to be somehow something to continue with the Resident Evil Franchise.
A TV series is the most logical move for them to make.
According to Variety, the German production company confirmed that they will be producing the TV series of "Mortal Instruments" and "Resident Evil." But before the TV series goes into production, "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" will have to be released first. Originally, slated for release this year, it has been pushed back for a 2015 release. The reason for the delay is that Milla Jovovich, who is married to Resident Evil Director Paul Andreson, is pregnant and is confirmed to be back for this movie. Michelle Rodriguez is also confirmed as well.
There is not much details yet on the television series, even the title hasn't been determined yet since the focus right now is to make sure that "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" gets out of the door next year. This means that we can expect the earliest for the TV series will be in 2016.
What you will notice is that the Resident Evil movies have different stories from the game series but both series revolve around the mainly the same characters. Thus, don't be surprised if the Resident Evil television series will also be different from what you're used to. Though for us in airsoft, it would be nice to see some neat weapons used in the series that will be produced for the airsoft market.
