Studio Confirms New Resident Evil Movie Already in the Works

[googleback]

I HATED the first 3. But I really enjoyed afterlife because of the spectacle. I'd like to see another at the cinema but i have no intention of ever buying the blu rays or watching it on TV.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

To be honest, when I saw a commercial for 'Afterlife' I stopped what I was doing and said:

"Really? They are still making these? Well... Okay. Hey, Bro! Wanna see the new Resident Evil?"

To which my friend replied:

"There's another one? Really?"

I didn't think anyone even watched them, let alone that they had earned a total of a QUARTER OF A BILLION bucks.

That's some seriously thought provoking shit...

It kinda makes you reflect on the 'Step one, step two, profit' joke...

dear lord when will it stop? >.<

Oh, come on, why? It's already been proven these guys are incompetent with Resident Evil Extinction in D3 the Mighty F****

Instead of sticking to a formula that works somewhat, Resident Evil Apocalypse, they continue to make their movies worse (REA) and worse (REE). Yes, they make money, but that is no excuse to keep on squirting out shit after shit after shit. Even if you have a toilet that pays you money everytime you make a shit, you'd still want to change your diet so you don't Diarrhea all over the place every time.

That has to be the most screwed up comparison ever ...

I've never been one to try to nominate them for an oscar, but when I want zombie killing and ass kicking, I turn on Resident Evil. Why can't people just appreciate them for that? Just sit back and enjoy the zombie killing.

Yeh except the fact the fight choreography in the movies are just terrible. I rather go back and watch Ninja Assassin than watch any more of these Resident Evil movies. The fact that attendance domestically is at an all time low tells me im not alone in this thinking.

edit: its doesn't make a compelling fight scene when you cut to a different frame after every kick or punch, or see how slow they are fighting when they just show you in a wide angle shot. Milla Jovovich is hot and all but man she needs to get some speed into her fighting.

The thing that really ruined it for me in the last file was how it was made for 3D. This is something that should never happen. The fights looked asinine and really poorly done because they are trying to make the cooler in 3D.

Here is an example of much better cooler fight choreography without all the crap about cutting to a different shot after every single hit. And the cutting they do, is much better placed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR5wXrak2k4

OT: I like the films for what they are, but it's a little annoying when you watch and immediately know how a scene could have been better. I don't know what the director is thinking half the time. The first film was awesome, the second was acceptable (if for no other reason it was a completely decimated city), but the third one in the desert was crap, and fourth one was terrible, if for no other reason than they made it for 3D which butchered all the action scenes. AND, I hated how they just threw in creatures from RE5 for no reason at all. Just for more of a connection to the games I guess, but it was terrible.

As far as RE: Degeneration is concerned. I waited for that since the day I heard about it. I got it the day it came out, and was treated to a film that was so boring I could barely sit through it. And the CGI is a combination of good and shit terrible. Some scenes are great, other scenes look like they were not even finished. I loved how it was canon, but hated how cut rate it was and boring. I am still looking forward to next one, but I am not going to hold my breath on it being really good.

i really do not understand what people like about these movies. excluding not having anything to do with the game, the story is terrible, the action is bland, the characters and acting are hammy.... what the hell to people keep watching this shit for?! there is NO redeeming qualities, its not so bad its good, its not a shallow action flick, its just....SHIT.

I disregard the resident evil part in these titles nowadays. They aren't resi films they are hilarious zombie comedy movies.

Afterlife was the funniest movie I saw last year. The 3D made something diabolically shit into a completely hilarious over the top comedy. Loved it. I hope 5 is equally awesome/terrible.

This is where I am as well.

These movies are my guilty pleasures.[footnote]Honestly, these are the equivalent to Adam Sandler movies, imo. I LOATHE that fsking idiot and make fun of anyone who enjoys his shitty movies. These flicks are basically the action version of his tripe and sadly I happen to enjoy just staring blankly at them.[/footnote] Sure, I'm a fangirl of Milla and I freely admit that, but I go into each and every one of these movies with low expectations (plot-wise) and and just accept them for what they are-eye candy with no redeemable value. (And I LIKED the first movie. The commentary with Milla and Michelle Rodriguez was entertaining to listen to.)

 

[Someone Depressing]

Ok, first of all, RE in a form of any media (Especially the video games) is shit.

The movies are only starting to become half decent.
And the games are starting to fall back into bad habit (*cough* Resident Evil 5 *Cough*)

*Sigh* This series ain't gonna go nowhere until the Dev's/Director's know how to make it good for a start!

EDIT : Why are you trying to Adapt a Video-game into a movie?! Look what happened to Double Dragon!
Look at Super Mario Bros!
Look at the shitty cartoon that came out of LoZ!
Look at what came out of Nintendo in general! A crappy 4-th wall breaking cartoon from the 80s that somehow is still ongoing!
Stop!

There's something I enjoy about these movies, even if I can admit they're terrible. Maybe it's just thinking as I watch it about who thought this or that was a good idea. Also Ali Larder and Milla Jovavich are hot. To say nothing of Sienna Guilleroy. But I'm not just there for hot girls, I'm really there to enjoy some over-the-top stupidity. Like the opening of the last film where there were 300 Millas. What were they thinking when they came up with that? WHY!?!?

Highfive.

exarctly! i don't consider them "canon", but they're great mindless fun. plus, i'll take any excuse to watch Milla Jovovich. i just wish they'd kill off Claire so Ali Larter will go away...

Really? REALLY? We need more of these?

The first one was cool in a "Oh my god they finally made one!" way, the second one was good in that they made improvements on the concept and added A)Nemesis + B)Badass Alice Ending = WIN. Third was the one that starting waning interest, but at least it tied up everything and gave an end.

The fourth was a horrible, horrible piece of shit. Really, as a RE fanboy, and as a RE Film fanboy, it was just awful. Total rip off of RE5; stolen cutscenes (major rippage, not just "homage" like the helicopter scene in #2), Milla's acting was shit, and the direction they went with Alice was just BLEH.

Okay rant over. But does everyone agree with the sentiment "Do We Really Need Another Resident Evil Film"?

 

[kasperbbs]

I kinda liked the first one, didn't care for the second movie, can't remember what the rest of them were about. Doesn't seem like these series are going anywhere, so i`m not going anywhere near this movie.

 

[Jaebird]

Hollywood seems to think so, because they still make money. If the movie-going public realize that this franchise needs to end, then they will not spend a penny at neither the theater nor on the DVD. But, until that happens, we are going to see more of these films. Either until they go into space or back to the hood.

Sigh. You are right. And the unfortunate truth is: There will ALWAYS be a buyer for something.

Rest in Peace Glory Days.

I wouldn't go so far as guilty pleasures in my book. But still hilariously bad, so you at least get something out of them.

I used to be extremely angry about how they've defiled the resident evil series but now I watch the movies to see how they can fuck up the canon even more and in what hilarious way.

I mean how did the Executioner Manjini end up in Los Angeles. Did he swim? Maybe Wesker went to pick him up in that Tanker he commandeered.

Also got to love the end part of Afterlife, when Wesker recognises, and implies he's had alot of hassle with, Claire and Chris when they have never met in the context of the films ever. Truly brilliant.

Furthermore, the way every resi character is made subordinate to Milla Jovovich mainly cause she's willing to get naked in every sodding film.

All you can do is just laugh really...

Except for the fact they're remaking the movies but with the same Alice driven plot. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Yay. I'm looking forward to seeing how they get out of the mess they ended up in at the end of the last movie. Ship full of woozy people who have just woken up from medical comas, no real weapons, Alice has lost all her superpowers, and the entire Umbrella army is about to come knocking on their front door. Going to be really interesting to see how they survive this.

Plus, Leon's supposed to be in this one. And they brought Jill back. Yayness all around.

 

[Mangue Surfer]

Look from this perspective. It's hard to be worse than the RE5, the game.

Are you referring to the movies, or the game news industry giving them coverage and thus legitimizing the series' very existence?

Gundam had a shitty live-action screen adaption [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZQ9vWgAYJo], but most Gundam fans didn't acknowledge it because they knew the series deserved better. And that's exactly why there isn't a G-Savior 2, let alone 3, 4, and fucking 5.

just the movies. I've made my peace with the games.

and OMG i've never seen this! live action Gundam! O god its just not the same if they arent piloted by angsty teenagers XD

The CG is pretty damn impressive tbh
