If you’ve been paying attention to director/producer Andrew Saullo‘s efforts while filming his Resident Evil short The Keeper, you know that he managed to track down and reunite three of the original actors who starred in the opening cutscene for Resident Evil. Over the holidays, Saullo released the last of the videos he managed to film with the trio, which involve a mix of behind-the-scenes footage, as well as Charlie Kraslavsky (aka Chris Redfield) firing off a real Samurai Edge handgun.
The first video has Kraslavsky at a shooting range in Cedar City, UT using the famous custom Beretta 92F, which is decked out with S.T.A.R.S. insignias. On loan from Scott Alker, Kraslavsky notes the gun’s aesthetics before going through some target practice. Kraslavsky also tests out several other weapons with the Iron County Sheriff’s Office. It was all part of the other short that Saullo had filmed in Resident Evil: Resurrection, which featured Kraslavsky, alongside Greg Smith and Eric Pirius, who reprised their roles as Barry Burton and Albert Wesker, respectively.
The last video is a culmination of outtakes from Saullo’s cast reunion projects that includes the trio of actors, as well as demonstrating the VFX that Saullo and the team at Steven Spady VFX used while filming Resurrection.
This is all separate from Saullo’s main project, an adaptation of The Keeper’s Diary starring Kraslavsky as the Umbrella researcher (aka The Keeper) responsible for the Arklay Laboratory’s animals being prepped for experimentation. This entire project was done in conjunction with the folks at Residence of Evil to give The Keeper’s Diary the needed boost. Saullo’s The Keeper’s Diary is a separate film from Residence of Evil’s own version of The Keeper’s Diary called The Keeper, which is being directed by Shawn Lebert.
