About the book

In 1997, Japanese game developer Capcom paired an unlikely dream team: George A. Romero, the master of zombie cinema, and Resident Evil 2—the hotly anticipated sequel to the preeminent survival horror game. The result was a Japanese TV commercial that would become a cult legend among fans worldwide. Japan-based writer and Romero historian Norman England was invited onto the set, witnessing first-hand the energy, chaos, and artistry as Romero and a young Brad Renfro brought the nightmare of Resident Evil to life. Told through vivid, on-the-spot journal entries, this is an unfiltered chronicle of a one-time-only collaboration between a master filmmaker and a gaming phenomenon. Packed with rare set photos, original production documents, and press coverage from the era, this book serves as both a behind-the-scenes account and a visual archive of a landmark moment in horror and gaming history.
