Resident Evil Movie Reboot Actor Says The Movie Is “The Game Plus More”

One of the stars of the Resident Evil movie reboot has spoken about how the upcoming film does right by the video game series and overall should leave viewers thinking, "Man, it feels like the game.'" Tom Hopper, who plays Albert Wesker, told Collider that he tried to make his version of Wesker something like Agent Smith from The Matrix but "more three-dimensional." And overall, Hopper said he hopes viewers see the movie, Welcome to Raccoon City, as being "the game plus more."

"I think fans of the game will be happy, but at the same time, I think they should recognize that we want to make these characters as real and as grounded as possible," he explained. "I feel like the Wesker in the game obviously has that [Agent] Smith from The Matrix type idea. I wanted him to be a bit more three-dimensional than that, and have a moral high ground."
