The upcoming zombie sequel movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse, which is directed by Alexander Witt, will feature a faux TV commercial for a beauty product called "Regenerate" that was originally a teaser trailer for the first Resident Evil, Variety reported. Marcus Nispel directed the "Regenerate" commercial, an apparent ad by the Umbrella Co., the company behind the zombie infestation, the trade paper reported.

It is unlikely that Nispel, an ad helmer who has become a feature-film director in his own right, will get a directing credit in the upcoming sequel film, which is slated to open in September, the trade paper reported.
