==Production==
 
In order to get the right style for the film, Capcom hired American film director [[George A. Romero]], famous for his ''Dead'' series of Zombie horror films. Among the cast was [[Brad Renfro]] as [[Leon S. Kennedy]] who received top billing in the Making Of documentary; his aspiring career would soon after fail due to drug use, ending in an overdose.
 
 
The film took place outside a real police department, dressed as the [[Raccoon City Police Department]]. Consequently, it looks nothing like the station in the game.
