Better known as Resident Evil in the US, Capcom Japan just announced a new CG Biohazard movie for Japanese theaters. Leon S Kennedy will be kicking zombie (or other no longer human entity) into oblivion on October 27 in 2D and 3D! The last CG movie, Degeneration,  had sales of over 1.6 million worldwide, and hopefully this will do just as good. If you haven't seen RE (or Biohazard) Degeneration, it's like a long in game cutscene with much better acting. There's even a trailer with English subtitles on the official site!

On April 30th, The Playstation Blog will host a live stream with more info on this game. Source: Playstation Blog
