Okay, so Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City wasn’t to everyone’s tastes, but just like the video games, leave it to the fans to be making amends. Case in point: director/producer Andrew Saullo is currently working on an adaptation of The Keeper’s Diary starring Charlie Kraslavsky from the original live-action cutscene for Resident Evil.
For those unaware, “The Keeper’s Diary” refers to the file written by an Umbrella researcher responsible for the Arklay Laboratory’s animals being prepped for experimentation. This is the one involving the famous “Itchy. Tasty.” line. Saullo had auditioned Kraslavsky, Greg Smith and Eric Pirius (Chris Redfield, Barry Burton, and Albert Wesker, respectively) for the role of the ill-fated Umbrella researcher known as The Keeper for the short, with Kraslavsky being selected. Don’t feel bad for Pirius and Smith, as you’ll soon read later.
Saullo has partnered up with the folks at Residence of Evil to give The Keeper’s Diary the needed boost, hence why they’re hosting the videos. This is coincidental, since RoE is also currently working on their version of The Keeper’s Diary called The Keeper with Shawn Lebert directing.
In addition to the interview with Kraslavsky (which you can see below), Saullo says that they’ve also filmed a cast and director interview about the teaser, a reunion video involving Kraslavsky, Smith and Pirius, a react video where the trio sit down to watch gameplay from the original Resident Evil (since none of them had ever played the game), a behind-the-scenes video for The Keeper’s Diary, and even a separate short film where the trio of originals all reprise their roles from the game! These videos are expected to be released in the near future.
Currently, there are plans for a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the short, so stay tuned.
