Last month I got to visit the set of RE5 and the embargo lifts at noon PST today, so make sure to check back for new interviews with the cast and my set report. Until then, here's the first footage from the movie which includes a first look at Li BingBing as Ada Wong in action . Also, if you're a fan of Tron: Legacy, pay attention to the music. The teaser is using a track called "Recognizer." It's track #4 on the soundtrack.
