In a recent Instagram story, Rook seemingly revealed that the film will be including multiple Resident Evil 1 creatures, and the list is kinda shockingly large. Rook has been teasing his role in the film over on Twitter and Instagram for some time now, and recently he’s cranked it up considerably. member that you find bitten by Yawn in the first quarter of the original game.Īiken is one of the few semi-fleshed-out Bravo Team members, falling just behind Rebecca Chambers in terms of screen time and dialogue, but I was still surprised to see him cast here (especially as no other members of Bravo Team have been revealed for the film, including Rebecca). Amongst that surprisingly large cast is Chad Rook, who has turned out to be playing Richard Aiken, the doomed S.T.A.R.S.
From 1:1 accurate set reproductions to a surprisingly large cast (including, thus far, nearly the entirety of Resident Evil 1 and 2‘s characters) and the reveal of a classic creature, I’m simply blown away by the effort being made here. We’ve been following the Resident Evil film reboot since it was (basically) announced back in 2018, and we’ve very much been liking what we’ve been seeing.
