Last September during Capcom’s TGS Livestream on Twitch, the CG movie Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness was officially revealed with a tasty teaser trailer. Six months later and Netflix has unearthed even more information regarding the upcoming animated series.
Along with a brand new poster that features the star’s of the show, Leon and Claire, we also see a horde of zombies making a beeline for the White House in Washington, DC. That’s not all, fans get to finally know who the voice actors are behind the characters.
Who is Stephanie Panisello?
Stephanie Panisello is an actress and presenter with extensive experience in voice-over and motion capture. Panisello has played roles in Star Wars, Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy, Doom and Gears but where you may know her best is for playing Claire Redfield in Resident Evil 2 so reprising her role as Claire yet again in Netflix’s Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will be like coming home.
Throughout Panisello’s long and successful career, she has gathered praise for her portrayal as Claire in RE2 with the game earning itself four nominations at The Game Awards and won The Golden Joystick Awards “2019 Game of the Year.”
Who is Nick Apostolides?
Nick Apostolides from Salem, Massachusetts has stared in over 100 commercials and an Emmy nominee. Just like Stephanie Panisello, Apostolides’ voice will be familiar to fans of the Resident Evil franchise where he played Officer Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil 2 remake. Jumping back into the soul of Leon once more, Apostolides is cast as the federal agent in Netflix’s upcoming Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness.
You may also know Apostolides from another successful and hard-hitting title in Life is Strange as the character Frank Bowers and also as widower Charles Erikson from Captain Spirit and Life is Strange 2.
Details on Resident Evil Infinite Darkness
Netflix’s description for the show has updated and released the official synopsis of Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness that you can find below:
“In 2006, there were traces of improper access to secret Presidential files found in the White House’s network. American federal agent Leon S. Kennedy is among the group invited to the White House to investigate this incident, but when the lights suddenly go out, Leon and the SWAT team are forced to take down a horde of mysterious zombies. Meanwhile, TerraSave staff member Claire Redfield encounters a mysterious image drawn by a youth in a country she visited, while providing support to refugees.”
“Haunted by this drawing, which appears to be of a victim of viral infection, Claire starts her own investigation. The next morning, Claire visits the White House to request the construction of a welfare facility. There, she has a chance reunion with Leon and uses the opportunity to show him the boy’s drawing. Leon seems to realize some sort of connection between the zombie outbreak at the White House and the strange drawing, but he tells Claire that there is no relation and leaves. In time, these two zombie outbreaks in distant countries lead to events that shake the nation to its very core.”
