Resident Evil: Welcome To Racoon City
This Is The Movie Resident Evil Fans Have Been Waiting For
The title alone says everything we need to know, Welcome To Racoon City! Every true fan will agree, the first franchise didn't just derail, it derailed and then blew up like the truck in the trailer for this movie. However, we'll save that subject for later. The main point is that it's finally happened... Sony is making what seems to be a reboot of the iconic franchise. The difference is that this time the director is one of us.., a hardcore fan of the original games that stole our gore-loving hearts over 20 years ago. Johannes Roberts has gone on the record himself stating that his team worked closely with Capcom for the production of this film.
It's safe to say that Sony is going on a hot streak these next two months. Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage taking the box office by storm for October and both Spiderman: No Way Home and Welcome To Racoon City set to hit theaters next month gives those of us in Geek Nation plenty to be excited about.
How The Last Series Went From Good To Bad To Just Horrible
The first three films in the series, Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and Resident Evil: Extinction, were all pretty good. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't say that they were the greatest of all time but I did enjoy watching them as a fan of the series. Unfortunately, however, every entry that came after Extinction gradually played out the franchise more and more with each release. By the time the final movie came out, there weren't that many people who gave a shit, myself included. The films barely had anything to do with their source material and they began to feel more like easy cash-grabs than projects that were being taken seriously. Regardless of how bad they got, my hope for a reboot that would give fans what they deserved never died. For years I had faith and now it seems like my prayers have been answered.
The Trailer
When I watched the new trailer to Resident Evil: Welcome To Racoon City for the first time, my jaw was on the floor. 10 seconds in and I could feel my excitement boiling over. Nearly every single image was pulled straight out of either the first or second game. If the last series of films was a horror show for all the wrong reasons, then this movie looks like a horror show for all the right ones. Even tiny little references, that only true fans of the original games would catch, can be seen throughout the trailer.
Roberts stated that the film will be centered on the first two games. It will follow Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, along with Wesker and the rest of their S.T.A.R.S team, as they search the mansion for Bravo team. At the same time, we'll see Claire Redfield return to Racoon City, where she will meet up with Leon Kennedy on his first day on the job as a police officer. The two will be happening simultaneously, which I thought was an excellent decision by the director. As opposed to the characters, whom we got to see plenty of, Robers expressed how he wanted to avoid giving us too much information about the mutated creatures that would appear in the film. In spite of that, we did get a few glances at some of them, including one of the most iconic creatures of the entire series, The Licker. Man, I gotta say, that thing looked fucking awesome!
Being a fan of the original games, you could tell that Johaness took the source material seriously when making this movie. He requested for Capcom to send him the layouts to both the mansion and the police station and had his production team build them precisely as they were in the games. Minor details, like Claire's red jacket and wearing her white helmet as she rides into town. The truck explosion, the footage of the twins, the first zombie Chris encounters, I could go on naming details like these but instead, I'll just link the video below to save some time.
Welcome To Racoon City will exclusively be released in movie theaters on November 24. So make sure you get your tickets early because I promise you, you're not going to want to miss out on this one.

Trump’s Attacks on Iran
Tensions between the United States and Iran have once again drawn global attention, fueled by renewed political rhetoric from former U.S. President Donald Trump and an increasingly fragile Middle East landscape. While Trump is no longer in office, his influence on American foreign policy discourse remains strong, especially regarding Iran. His recent statements and past actions continue to shape how the situation is discussed, both domestically and internationally. The ongoing Iran situation cannot be understood without revisiting Trump’s long-standing approach to Tehran—one defined by pressure, confrontation, and a belief that economic and political force could reshape Iran’s behavior. As events unfold in the region, Trump’s attacks on Iran, primarily through rhetoric and policy advocacy, have reentered the conversation at a time when stability is already uncertain. A History of Confrontation During his presidency, Donald Trump positioned Iran as one of the primary adversaries of U.S. foreign policy. His decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal, marked a turning point. Trump argued that the agreement was flawed, claiming it failed to permanently prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and did not address Iran’s regional influence or missile program. Following the withdrawal, the U.S. imposed sweeping economic sanctions under what the administration called a “maximum pressure” campaign. These measures significantly affected Iran’s economy, targeting oil exports, banking systems, and international trade relationships. Trump consistently framed these actions as necessary to protect U.S. interests and global security. That confrontational posture remains central to Trump’s public messaging today. Rhetoric That Resonates Trump’s attacks on Iran in recent speeches and interviews have focused less on diplomacy and more on strength. He often portrays Iran as a destabilizing force in the Middle East, accusing its leadership of funding proxy conflicts, threatening U.S. allies, and undermining regional peace. This language resonates with segments of the American public who favor a hardline approach to foreign policy. At the same time, critics argue that such rhetoric escalates tensions rather than easing them. Words from influential political figures carry weight, especially when they echo previous policies that brought the two nations close to direct confrontation. Even without immediate military action, strong language can affect markets, diplomatic relations, and public perception across the region. The Current Iran Situation Iran today faces a complex set of challenges. Economic pressure from sanctions continues to strain daily life for many citizens, while internal political dynamics remain tense. Regionally, Iran is involved in multiple theaters through alliances and influence, making it a central player in broader Middle Eastern conflicts. Against this backdrop, Trump’s renewed focus on Iran adds another layer of uncertainty. While the current U.S. administration may pursue different strategies, Trump’s voice amplifies debates about whether negotiation or force is the more effective path forward. Supporters of Trump argue that his tough stance kept Iran in check, claiming that pressure limited its resources and influence. Opponents counter that the approach isolated the U.S. from allies and reduced opportunities for diplomatic solutions, leaving the region more volatile. Global Reactions and Diplomatic Concerns International responses to Trump’s attacks on Iran have been mixed. Some U.S. allies in the Middle East view his rhetoric favorably, seeing Iran as a shared threat. Others, particularly in Europe, remain cautious, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and multilateral agreements. Diplomats warn that escalating language can undermine ongoing efforts to stabilize the region. Even symbolic threats or aggressive statements may provoke responses that spiral beyond control. In a region already marked by conflict, restraint is often seen as a necessary component of effective diplomacy. Political Strategy at Home Trump’s focus on Iran is also tied to domestic politics. Foreign policy strength has long been a cornerstone of his political identity. By highlighting Iran as an adversary, Trump reinforces his image as a leader unwilling to compromise with perceived threats. This strategy plays well among voters who believe the U.S. should project power globally. However, it also raises questions about long-term consequences. Critics argue that consistent confrontation without clear diplomatic off-ramps risks entrenching hostility rather than resolving underlying issues. What Comes Next? The future of U.S.-Iran relations remains uncertain. While Trump’s attacks on Iran currently take the form of rhetoric and policy advocacy rather than direct action, their impact should not be underestimated. Political language can shape expectations, influence decision-makers, and affect the behavior of nations. For Iran, continued pressure may harden positions within its leadership, reducing incentives for compromise. For the United States, balancing strength with diplomacy remains a delicate challenge—one that will define its role in the Middle East for years to come. Conclusion Trump’s attacks on Iran reflect a broader debate about how powerful nations should handle long-standing adversaries. Is pressure the path to peace, or does it deepen divisions? As the Iran situation continues to evolve, the consequences of words spoken today may shape realities tomorrow. In a world already facing uncertainty, the need for measured dialogue, strategic thinking, and global cooperation has never been greater. Whether confrontation or communication ultimately prevails will depend not just on leaders, but on the choices they make in moments of tension.
