Although slated by the critics and gamers alike, the Resident Evil movie trilogy is to expand after publisher Capcom announced the coming of a new CGI film.

Entitled Biohazard: Degeneration, the computer-generated movie will be released by Sony Pictures Entertainment, which promises to provide "groundbreaking visual effects and a brand new storyline".

Few details of the forthcoming movie have yet been announced, though online rumours suggest acclaimed director George A. Romero, who was hired for the last movie in the series before being dropped, will be taken on.

No release date for Biohazard: Degeneration has been revealed, though a 2008 launch has been rumoured.
