So is this a prequel or something or are we going with "Resident Evil: The Next Generation" here?
Unfortunately, no. These are Wesker's, never mentioned daughters. They're really trying to turn Wesker in to the RE equivalent of Dio.
The disconnect lies in the RE games being fun trash... to play through. Actually watching a movie version of RE2 or RE4 wouldn't really work at all. In those games the cutscenes (the story) also granted you a reprieve from the tense, atmospheric gameplay - It was always fun see Leon or whoever be a big doofus in a cutscene, not only because it was just fun, but also because the silliness eased some of the tension from being chased by crazed villagers or Mr. X. The clear distinction between gameplay and cutscene actually works in those games' favour.
I disagree to an extent. An adaption of re1, 2, or 3 could work. All they have to do is use the games or the SD Perry novels as influence. George Romero almost had it with his original script of re1. Sure there was some weird changes: Chris was native American for some reason and he worked on a farm and was not part of Stars, but they had the mansion, and the lab and everything. His script even had the sharks, hunters, and the chimera. Romero even looked at the game himself before starting the script. This guy directed the Japanese commercials for Resident Evil 2 and it shows. And the producers toss aside his script because they "couldn't get it.". I would take Remero a billion times over Anderson.
I hope they drive around in a van solving mysteries. Mutant dog is optional.
I'd say less optional and more a requirement. Plus I had an image in my head of one of the Wesker gang turning a corner and coming across a tentacled monster, and just puts their hand on their hips and goes "Oh Mr. Wesker".
