I'm going to start off by saying I personally liked the films. But don't think they should have the title of "Resident Evil" because of how it broke the lore.
Now that that is out of the way, my name is CJay. I'm an actor living in the good ol' state of Alabama. I am signed under a tiny, but growing, production label and my dream has always been this:
To take what story Shinji has blessed us with, and make minor tweeks, to bring us an original live-action take on the first few games.
So, I wrote an entire seasons worth of scripts. This will be a ten episode season, with maybe 20-30 minutes per episode. I am basing it off of mainly the REmake of the first game. The synopsis goes as follows (as if we all don't already know it) But there are some changes:
So basically, I have modernized this story. I feel that the social media being a big part of pressuring the RPD to investigate as well as an update to the S.T.A.R.S. members would be refreshing. This story will differ at one point from the game. But why would you want to see the exact same thing? No I won't mess with the lore too badly, but I also went into this thing knowing that it wouldn't rake in a penny. But that's not why I am doing this.
I am a family man and have many difficulties in my life, so I really can't afford all the money I have put into this so far. But I am doing it anyway. Because I fucking LOVE this franchise. It has dear memories for me, and I'm sure it does for many of you. And I just want to bring you what I think we as fans deserve.
I expect to release the Pilot episode on Youtube this October.
I am very ambitious in my attempt here and planned out 5 seasons. And I can lay out my seasonal idea as follows:
Season 1 - The Arklay Report - Resident Evil (REmake)
Season 2 - Arklay Ground Zero- Resident Evil Zero
Season 3 - The Raccoon City Chronicles - Resident Evil 2 & 3
Season 4 - The Progenitor Effect - Resident Evil 3.5/4 (Castle and hallucination versions)
Season 5 - Global Saturation - (Very little elements from Resident Evil 5, but typically an original story and finale to my story)
As the seasons go, you will see that I respectfully show the plot laid out by the games, but still make it my own bit of work. I know a few changes will piss some fans off. But overall, you will see where it had to be done.

The Arklay Report
In the autumn of 2010, near Raccoon City, there have been reports of hikers and campers who have gone missing. Upon discovering the mangled corpses of these poor souls, the media went crazy. People took to social media to pressure the Raccoon City Police department to look into these attacks. Under the command of Captain Albert Wesker, and the approval of Chief Brian Irons, a team has been tasked with investigating the mountainous region. Bravo team of the Special Tactics And Rescue Squad are sent out to perform aerial recon, and investigate any strange activities. When contact has been lost with the Bravo team, Captain Wesker decides to take in his Alpha team to recover their missing comrades. Upon discovering the crash site of the Bravo team's helicopter, Alpha team lands to investigate and help any survivors. But something was waiting for them, and they are ambushed by nightmarish creatures. This causes their Pilot Brad Vickers to panic and leave his comrades alone. While on the run from the creatures, the remaining Alpha team members make way to the only structure in sight. A large, ominous mansion. They will soon discover that they are not alone in the mansion and uncover a insidious agenda that will change their lives, and soon, the world.
Through use of their own personal recording devices, as well as security cameras used to monitor them, they have leaked the footage to the news and social media as a warning to all.
