2. Resident Evil

With a new game, TV series, AND film in the works, Resident Evil fans have never been so spoilt for content.

The upcoming film is a reboot, and doesn't seem to be related to the Netflix TV series currently in development. So, there's no Alice involved in this brand new film venture.

The story will be set in 1998, and the cast includes all the video games' most enduring characters, including Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Albert Wesker, and Ada Wong.

This sounds like the film fans have been asking for since Paul W.S. Anderson's franchise started going off the rails, but it's worth noting that the new Resident Evil is still being produced by the same companies that are responsible for the much derided series of films starring Milla Jovovich.

Fingers crossed new director Johannes Roberts is able to get across the "terrifying visceral experience" that inspired him from the first two games.

We will get to judge for ourselves when Resident Evil releases September 3 in the US and UK.
