Now that the movie’s release date is set, an official website is available. Currently, the site offers a quick look at the film’s logo, release date, and confirms it will be available in IMAX.

Zach Cregger Calls Resident Evil A Scary Ride
Zach Cregger, speaking at CinemaCon, called the movie a “big, scary ride.” He explained that it centers on a character’s perilous journey through a hostile world that seems determined to defeat them.
