>get criticized once>fucking lose it at comic con>“I took liberties to tell a story that I wanted to tell & make the movie look the way I wanted it to look… I think it looks really fucking cool to see a horror movie in the snow.”
>>744002117>I think it looks really fucking cool to see a horror movie in the snow.”The difference being that The Shining and The Thing were made by some of the most talented people of their era, not whoever these twats purport to be.
It’s crazy how Capcom has turned the Resident Evil brand into the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval and just licenses it out to any horror movie that has enough money
>>744002117>I'm a huge fan of the games; Rick Grimes is my favorite character, especially when he saves Ellie from Silent Hill.
>>744002117Probably still a better resident evil story than 5, 6, and 9
is there a clip of him losing it, or is that quote supposed to be it?
>>744002921Losing it is an exaggeration but he sounds bothered by the fact people criticized the fact that the movie takes place near Raccoon City yet it isn't not set in the 90s, it is winter, and the main character uses a smartphone. So from the clip I saw, he goes on a little tangent saying what OP quoted more or less.The people have valid criticisms though. He's basically making an alternate universe Resident Evil film since it seems to change the fundamental origins of the lore by having it set 20 years after its set, the outbreak happening differently and following a completely unrelated character. Basically at that point just using the name Resident Evil to push the story he wants to tell. People are defending this saying "Well, RE7 was a huge change from the previous games and it was successful" forgetting that the story in RE7 and 8 is deeply tied to the lore of the world even to the point of including previously established characters. It wasn't a complete universal reset in to a new timeline like this movie seems to be. A gameplay, narrative and perspective change for sure but it still set in the world of Resident Evil unlike his movie seems to be. At this point, the Mila movies are more faithful than whatever his vision is.
One of the biggest hacks in Hollywood at the moment, who somehow pulls the wool over peoples eyes and they eat up his shit. Hopefully this dogshit film breaks the spell.
>>744002326Zach Cregger isn't just "anybody"this is the first live action RE in a decade not sure wtf ur talking about
>>744002805probably than any resident evil periodre has never had a good story
>>744003814how is he a hack?t. zach
It can't be worse than any of the existing live action movies
>>744003849RE8
>>744003814Hey, he sacrificed Trevor for it. He has at least 2 more movies.
>>744003849>re has never had a good storythe original trilogy has a good story, and Code veronica as retarded as it is, is a cool story
The script leaked.The ending sucks.https://files.catbox.moe/qgarns.pdf
>>744003817>Zach Cregger isn't just "anybody"Correct, he's nobody. I've never heard of him before and seeing the RE trailer I can see why that is.
creggerslop
If the movie is good that’s fine I guessBut it’s sad that we can’t just adapt a game into an action packed thrilling movie about being stuck in a house filled with zombies. And having to conserve, evade and power through many trials Like imagine yourself in resident evil. You need to progress through the mansion but there’s a literal monster in the next room. You’re only saving grace is that it’s too stupid to open doors, how do you get through the room. Do you either take out the zombie with your 3 handgun bullets or try to outmaneuver it so you can get to the next door. Imagine the tension felt as you open the door and rush to the next while evading the zombie. Imagine the relief when you find a pack of bullets. Why can’t a movie just closely follow a re protag overcoming trials that get progressively more fucked
>>744003896agree that re8 is the closest to a good story we have had in re history>>744003953the OT are amazing games but no they do not have good stories. they are pretty straightforward stories with simple characters that are mostly tropes/archetypes
reminder these threads are made by some autistic retard who loves the ws anderson turds
>>744004216Kek. Maybe cut hubristic content from your script just in case it ever gets made public.Also every single member of the RCPD was killed near enough the beginning of the outbreak except for Leon (who overslept on his first day of work and showed up like 20 hours late) Irons (who was part of the whole scheme) and the remaining members of STARS who don't even wear the standard uniform.
>>744004147if you have never heard of him then you likely do not know horror and ur opinion is irrelevant
>>744004224>"I think some of the fans are only going to be happy if I tell the story of the games. And I'm not doing that, because I feel like I wouldn't do it justice. I feel like the games do such a great job of telling that story">"This is a story that I would've wanted to write whether I got the IP or not."https://www.gamespot.com/articles/resident-evil-movie-director-knows-fans-of-the-games-may-not-be-happy/1100-6539740/?utm_source=chatgpt.comHe doesn't care about making a Resident Evil movie, that's why. He is just piggybacking the IP.
>>744003817Welcome to Raccoon City came out 5 years ago so wtf are you talking about?
>>744004390yeah, its also RPD not RCPD
>>744002326The games survived all the garbage movies and netflix shit, so capcom doesn't care as long as they get their cut just for whoring out the name.
>>744004417>do not know horror>turns out he made two mediocre horror movies in the 2020sWow, how signifcant to the genre at large, clearly this is a man who is justified in indirectly comparing his work to that of fucking Carpenter and Kubrick. You fucking retard.
>>744004545Fuck, you're right. I completely forgot, how embarassing.
>>744003746>forgetting that the story in RE7 and 8 is deeply tied to the lore of the world Exactly. It bothers me that people talk about RE7 like that because it's basically what RE2 is to RE1. New event, new characters, all tied and connected in the deeper layers of the lore. I've never seen anyone make this comparison between RE1, RE2 and RE7 to the rest of the franchise but I'm sure what I'm saying makes sense.Also, I'm not even a huge fan of RE7, so that's not why I'm defending it right now. It was a messy game, tedious to replay and platinum because of all the walking and talking and the Mia sections, and I just don't like Nakanishi. I just think it's a good thing to point out.I will say though, and I know I'm going on a tangent at this point, but Nakanishi has good ideas, I do think he has good concepts, but he absolutely should not be in charge of anything beyond that because his games are a little too close to the overly emotion focused Sony walking sim movie shit. Keep Nakanishi as an idea guy or whatever because RE7 for example is a fantastic idea, but it wasn't that great of an actual game.
>>744004707That’s ok, so did the guy who spent 3 years working on a film adaption.
Remember this asshole from whitest kids you know killed Trevor as a sacrifice to the illuminati for his movie deals, Trevor knew too much
>>744004035>boring character stumbles through a horror story and turns into a zombie at the worst moment>the endand I thought my ideas were bad.
>>744004035It would have been a great ending with the nuke over the city, the guy survives hell only to die from the missile, like in Rogue One.
>>744002117The trailer didn't impress me, but I haven't seen his other horror movies so idk, maybe it'll be good. What's good about Weapons and Barbarian?
When will these directors/developers/etc realize when you are working with an established IP it's not about YOU it's about the audience that built up the IP to get it to where it is. If you want your creatively fulfilling vision make your own shit
>>744004670terrible strawman anonbarbarian and weapons are great movies, try watching them
>>744005160Weapons was good. The fact that it takes so much from Magnolia does a lot of heavy lifting for him, but he still made and entertaining and engaging story and film. Barbarians is ok.
>>744005360>strawmanI'm not sure you know what that means, anyone talking about horror movies in the snow has to know what comparison that will inevitably evoke. I've seen enough of Weapons to know that it isn't worth my time to finish it, don't care about the other one.
>>744002117It still looks better than those fucking awful CGI movies.
>>744005254Because artists love to create. They fucking love the chance to create something that they can call theirs and get recognition for it. Adapting an already established story in to another medium is something that even if they don't say it, they think its beneath them. It is the equivalent of hiring an artist (that regardless of talent will think they're amazing) and having them trace over the Mona Lisa. They will without a second thought start creating their own lines.>tl;dr Anyone in the arts are self absorbed attention fags that deep down don't want to repeat what others have done
>>744004216this is so embarassing
OH GOD NOT THIS HACK DIRECTOR AGAIN.>I think it looks really fucking cool to see a horror movie in the snow.”No shit
>>744005730>VIDEO GAMES, BITCH!
>>744004459He sounds very narcissistic
>>744002117Industry plant.
>>744005730
>>744005143>Rogue OneReturn of the Living Dead did it first
Resident Evil never had a good plot and it was just americanized japslop. All the characters act like retards and you can't take a single thing about it seriously. It's basically a horror game made for manchildren. Milla Jovovich movies were kinda the same without the japanslop. I'm glad that Resident Evil gets something new out and the movie looks really cool.
>>744006367t. zach
>>744006404I wouldn't be surprised if he would say that cause you only have to play almost any of the games like 30 min and realize how goofy they are.
>>744006367it was over the top bullshit putting the director wife to absurd level of oc donutsteal
>>744005524anon I never made an argument re kubrick or carpenter, those are your words (ie ur twisting my argument into a srawman u can attack, ie a strawman)if ur argument of making an RE movie is you need to be on their "tier" whatever that means, then godspeed idk what to tell you.
>>744003746acting like RE has good lore is funny as fucklet the man do his thing
I'm fine with them not adapting a game 1 for 1 but you could have still set it in the same setting and kept some foundational aspects of the game then simply added your own characters/monsters/plot points, and I think thats what people were actually expecting
>>744006520Mark my words. They are going to revive the Milla franchise at some point.
>>744004224what you wrote isn’t a movie, it’s just one of those game novelisation fanfics. That’s not going to be something interesting to audiences or other people who played the games.
>>744006670You need to be 18 to post here.
>>744006670>buzzwords>obvious emotional investmentgo back
The fact it's set in the modern day is a gigantic missed opportunity not just because the 90's are in right now, but the smartphones don't add anything to the story at all and now he has to contrive a reason for them not to work.Having a stupid cliche argument with his girlfriend over the phone wasn't worth it.
The first teaser already didn't sell me but his new trailer was crap.I don't need normalfag relationship drama in a Resident Evil.
>>744006679pretty muchwhen you change the the setting, the characters, and even the zombies themselves then you don't really have much left to call it Resident Evil. It's just a movie thats latching on to an IP
>dude, a Resident Evil movie is different to the games!So, like the last twenty? Who the fuck cares?
Barbarian was woke garbage btw, it riffed off meToo and the lesson was that "men are the real monsters"
>>744002117uh there was a typewriter in the movie chud and they mention racoon city!!
>>744007123Resident Evil as an overall franchise at this point is pretty much just zombies, and even the definition of zombie is played very loosely. Yes, they are just slapping the RE name on a completely different thing, but I also don't care, because the RE name doesn't mean anything.
It's not like making a Metal Gear movie and failing to put Snake in it, because you can't even argue that RE has a main character. Chris is in maybe a third of the games. Leon is in maybe a third of the games.
>>744007343fuck off cregger
>>744007602How am I wrong though? You're feigning anger that they didn't directly adapt the plot of the first game, as if they were ever going to do that.
>>744006702What I wrote was just a vague idea of a feeling you dumb fucking piece of goddamn shit absolute holy fuck if I wanted to write a movie script I would write a script the whole point was that as of now, not a single resident evil movie has created a scene that replicates the feeling of being trapped in a labyrinth with zombies. A movie can absolutely capture that feeling You are an absolute faggot
i think it looks good :)
>>744007669>literally ignoring everything I said and feigning ignoranceSo you're either a troll, an idiot, or a faggot shill. Perhaps all 3. If you're the latter feel free to tell your masters that I'm not seeing this ugly fucking movie, and zach can shove his shitty script up his ass
>>744005730>REddit: The MovieThis movie needs to be bookended by Dave Bautista verbally reciting this very tweet
>>744002714Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks Resident Evil and Silent Hill are the same (shit) franchise.
>>744007818I think pretending to be mad that Resident Evil isn't Resident Evil is absurd at this point. Ignoring the fact we already saw ten or more of those Paul WS Anderson movies, which had nothing to do with the games, the games themselves have completely changed direction three or four times.What even constitutes real Resident Evil at this point?And no, they're not going to just adapt the games, because then it would be a movie about people putting crests in walls. If they're going to adapt anything directly, it's RE7, which also doesn't have real zombies in it. I also have no interest in watching another RE movie whatsoever, and I can't fathom how people could still be mad, after how many times they've done this. If anything, this is outrage marketing.
>>744004531we dont talk about that.
>>7440028059's story had the best villain in a long time
>>744008058>which also doesn't have real zombies in itIt has infected things in it. The only thing the game has ever had is things being infected with a virus so technically it's never had real zombies in it.
>>744008058If Resident Evil doesnt mean anything then why slap its name on your horror movie? Oh that's right, to trick people."There's no way to make a faithful RE movie"Then don't
>>744002117Erm...CREGGERSE?
>>744004035>jeans brand jeans
>>744008498boots with the fur
>>744003817Weapons was trash
The movie looks good, it'll end up being the best RE film. I agree that Cregger should've committed more to the setting, but an everyman's perspective during the Raccoon City outbreak is a good idea that's the perfect vehicle for the nonstop Fury Road-esque style he's allegedly going for. If I wanted to see RE1 / RE2 on screen again I'd just play the games - if you're not doing something unique with it, adapting one visual medium to another is just a cash grab.
>>744006367>>744007343You never played the games lol. >>744003817>>744003875>>744004417>>744005160>>744005427Don't understand the propping up Creggers script you shills use. It's very weird and egotistical.
>Every Hollywood Producer Ever: "We have been given a long established IP to work with, should we just adapt the established stories and canon to film as the audience wants?">"No, we should instead twist and pervert the IP to tell a story that I want to tell, which is just going to be a massive subversion of the hero of the IP because I hate the fanbase and I hate the IP and I hate these stupid stories I want to make """ART""" not ENTERTAINMENT""Now find me an actress of color to play the white blonde romantic interest in the IP. And make sure she's ugly and has zero tits or ass. I'm talking beanpole and concave, here."Happens every time, true story.
>>744002117Zach Cregger makes good stuff, but I don't really see why Capcom is so insistent on letting the RE movies be whatever the fuck nonsense someone comes up withmaybe they only care about the animated stuff
>>744008384presumably Capcom contributed to the funding.Literally none of this matters.
>>744008624>if you're not doing something unique withThe trailer sure doesn't make it look like he's doing anything unique. It actually looks like a very generic made for streaming horror film.
>>744002326They know the fans don't consider the movies canon, so it's just free money to them.
>>744008680so what does a real Resident Evil game look like? 1? Code Veronica? 4? 6? 7? Operation Raccoon City? The Rose DLC for 8 where you have magical powers? Revelations 2, where they kind of try to be The Last of Us? Outbreak, which had zero recognizable characters?
>>744008845Nta, but the MC in this new movie being some nobody civilian kinda reminds me of Outbreak and its characters.
>>744008624>>744008717>>744008845Nobody is going to see your shitty movie zachShoulda just called it something else and sold it to netflix,"What does an RE game look like"Nobody owes you an explanation for why ithis movie looks like shit. It's your job to make a good movie. I pay you money if I want to see that movie.
I dont know, I liked the trailer a bit. But its just a trailer and haven't paid much attention to it since. I kind of forgot about it.
>>744009008I said I'm not going to watch it, and I don't give a shit. Horror movies are for 14 year olds.
>>744008058>And no, they're not going to just adapt the games, because then it would be a movie about people putting crests in walls.This is such massive cope and I am tired of shitters thinking its a valid excuse. Evil Dead is just people stuck in a cabin in the woods as bad shit happens to them and it's fantastic. [REC]2 is a SWAT team just roaming around in an infected apartment complex and is fantastic. Frankestein's Army is pretty much already RE8. A game accurate RE can be done
>>744007713yah why dont you go back to Starbucks and rewrite that proposal faggot
>>744009070Not only that but the script notes here >>744004216 show they're fucking desperate for the RE audience to connect with it. Not only that but they obviously have no respect for fans of the games since we're supposed to clap like retarded seals when we see a police jacket.It's all just coming from a massive ego and I cant wait to see it fall apart
>>744009070So you'd be happy if they were in a house, and they had characters called Chris and Jill?Do you really need to see that movie that badly? You need to see the borderline shitty story of the Resident Evil games done justice?
>>744002117what a fuckin fag
>>744009262Why do you need to slap the RE label on the movie if 'you would've made the same movie without it'? You can't have it both ways friend. Either you care about the series and want to contribute something faithful to it or you dont care about the series and just need the name for a PR bump.Saying that the stories in RE are 'borderline shitty' makes it clear which side you're on
>>744009262Does this actually release endorphins in your brain? Just going online and posting the most retarded shit so you get replies?
>>744002117why are you posting this thread on multiple boards?
>>744009070but… but… MUH VISION!
>>744009445it's how jeets advertise for movies, ragebait
>>744004035
>>744009262>So you would be happy if you just got an adaptation of Resident Evil 1 without any caveats?Yes. Fucking wild concept I know
>>744009390Why slap the RE label on any of the previous movies? It doesn't matter anymore.And every story in an RE game amounts to the Umbrella corporation being inexplicably evil, and inexplicably goofy. None of the characters are consistent between games. Everything has been retconned and retconned again.The games are good because they play fun. The plot is ass.
>>744009408But you've been mad for 20 years because they didn't make a 6/10 zombie movie with a guy called Chris in it, just to clarify?
>>744009262If a "good" RE movie shouldn't concern itself with adapting the "shitty" story beats and characters from the games themselves, then why even bother calling it Resident Evil?
>>744002117smartphones in the 90s btw
I read The Flood script, and it is a worse version of Sphere and Event Horizon and like 5 short films smashed together. It is way too complicated, has way too many moving parts, and basically devolves into structural chaos. Cregger has huge issues as a writer, and this script highlights all of them.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o38X1xDD0UmwbWtJlXzUnodzLs2BchfO/view
>>744009754because Capcom gave them money, I assume. It doesn't fucking matter, as I keep saying.
>>744002117these motherfucking hacks only coast of the brand recognition to do their own shit because they are so talentless that they know they couldn't hack it on their own.
>>744008680He's an early era e-celeb, certain anons will fellate any product he creates because they think he's their friend.
>>744009808weapon has a dogshit plot as well
I can understand his frustration, imagine having the task of adapting a beloved work into another medium whle still capturing the spirit of the thing, and all the fanboys just bombard you with->Where does this fit in the greater lore?>Will Glup Shitto make an appearance?>Will the jacket be the right color of red?Artists make fun of these people for a reason, pandering the nerd culture is a huge reason entertainment sucks now
>>744009808>a worse version of SphereBut Sphere is already a terrible film.
>>744009959It's not an adaptation, cregger said it himself you fucking retardIt's just a horror movie with an IP name slapped on it. It happens all the time. >Be thankful for the slop!No
>>744009808does he post his scripts online himself? why do they all leak?
>literal who american hollywood faggot comes along and shits up another japanese IP because... because it's just OK, OK?!? And resident evil was never good anyway so this isn't doing anything bad and even if it were you are going to see it anyway???
>>744008702>>"No, we should instead twist and pervert the IP to tell a story that I want to tell, which is just going to be a massive subversion of the hero of the IP because I hate the fanbase and I hate the IP and I hate these stupid stories I want to make """ART""" not ENTERTAINMENT
>>744009681You didnt answer my question. If it doesnt matter anymore then why slap the RE name on his movie? If the RE plot is so ass why associate your movie with it?Just say you don't know, or shut the fuck up
Insufferable douchebag. Yes retard, the fact that it's winter is obviously what people have ire with. How did he go from WKUK to this?
>>744009959>pandering the nerd culture is a huge reason entertainment sucks nownah it's definitely cause the cia is the dumbest organization on the planet and within that retarded organization you have super retards (like you) who they don't know what to do with, so they throw you at whatever project they can find to keep you sedated
>>744008702I want a trans woman of color with Downs Syndrome to play Ada WongGive me a mute midget with a cleft palate to play Leonand a morbidly obese native american on a mobility scooter to play ashley
>>744009924Weapons is able to hide the weak script behind fairly confident direction and performances and the mystery film formula.>>744009972That's my worry. Sphere is an interesting but flawed and convoluted and difficult to follow film. This is so much worse. It's like he's so hellbent on his "flood" imagery that he seems to think the best way to get there is to just keep piling on more twists and lore and stuff and I just don't get the logic here. Sci-fi films live or die on really strong scripts. The script of Event Horizon, which had rewrites by the guy who did Seven, is a huge reason for the film's succeed. It is thematically tight, has strong dialogue, and the studio meddling couldn't break it. This movie is a fucking house of cards, and Cregger is such a golden boy he'll likely get zero pushback.
>>744002117Apologies to Paul W.C. Anderson, right now.
>>744010172because it's a recognizable brand, Capcom are invested in keeping the brand out there in people's minds, and the movie studios are invested in getting eyes on their movies by attaching recognisable names to them.Most people also just think of RE as that game with the zombies that was really fun, and that's if they even played the game and didn't just see the previous movie. Lorefags are a minority.
>>744010353No, he opened the flood gate to trash
>>744005989This could make a great banner for /v/.
>>744010489>new banners in 2026thats funny
>>744010463>Movie has nothing to do with RE>people feel cheated>"Y-you're just a lorefag!"fortunately with the internet people can see this type of scam a mile away. Can't wait to see this piece of shit flop
>>744010353Paul W.S. Anderson is an artist and a true fan of Resident Evil and not a tourist like Cregger. I hope his House of the Dead movie is good. Should be filming at the end of the year because Merced is busy with The Last of Us and stuff right now.
>>744002290Oh fuck do you want a side of French fries to go with that basic bitch opinion that the shinning & the thing are good? The shining is fucking terrible when you put it next to the thing
>>744003896Lmao
>>744010278>chubby Korean actress as Ada>Austin Butler as Leon>chubby white woman as AshleyFixed. Just give me chubby women and ripped dudes and it would be perfect.
>>744003746As someone that has played almost every resident evil game made (i even played the gbc one on an actual gbc (it sucks)), who cares. The RE plot is a mess and not even Capcom cares enough to keep the whole thing organized. The original timeline doesn't even have an ending, it was just dropped and rewritten between re6 to re7. There are around 5 or 6 timelines, pretty sure none of them have an ending and they all just keep being dropped when Capcom gets bored.
>>744010172>>744010463The actual answer is that the old Resident Evil movies>Made over a billion dollars>Are the third highest grossing horror film series>Are the highest grossing horror film series in Japan.The last two reboots failed, but they have an incentive to keep trying. Resident Evil is a cash cow. They just have to figure out how to milk it without the "come see what ridiculous antics Alice gets up to in this one" hook that the previous films used.
>>744010545You should know by now RE is a slop bucket IP, and not something with actual prestige. It's just kind of silly to continue to get mad about this.I would be vaguely annoyed if they say adapted Alan Wake and got the story wrong, because it actually matters there.
>>744002117Remember when the Agua Frescas were desperate for something that could rival Sinners in quality and cultural impact and tried to push Weapons as that, since they were completely caught off guard and didn't have anything prepared to siphon energy from it like they usually do?
>Just because I don't like the story and lore of the setting or think that this established 25 year old property doesn't have really have a story means that it should be completely ignored and some faggot should be able to piggyback the IP to push whatever story he couldn't get funding for on his ownThis is probably the weirdest take on this thread
So basically capeshitters are mad at him for not making memberberries glup shitto?
>>744010762>Agua FrescasWhat
>>744010815Clear water mixed with juice
>>744002290Weapons was one of the most critically and commercially successful films of last year and its mix of horror and black comedy is the absolute perfect tone for Resident Evil.Zack Cregger is no Kubrick (99.9% of directors aren't) but he's definitely got the sauce.
>>744010760>>744010732>Hollywood has contempt for RE (and most videogame franchises) and only sees it as a way to print moneyDamn it's almost like we all have known this for decades
>>744010860Please stop trying to shill this shit on 4chan. Can't you find a more respectable line of work, like selling crack
After 9 I have pretty much completely checked out of the franchise.10 will be the final game I bat an eyelash towards and if it's even slightly as gay as the last 3 games then I am dropping the franchise.There is absolutely no excuse for how clunky and shallow new Resident Evil plays. They are currently the worst action games on the market and get by on name alone. And they are fucking action games don't pretend otherwise.
>>744010860I am never watching Weapons or any other trash made by this obvious faggot.
>>744010782Yeah, considering the games have continually failed to have good storytelling or sensical lore, and considering all of the prior movies were even worse than the games, I would say it doesn't matter, and you're kind of insane to be holding Resident Evil to a standard.>dude, I want to see Wesker properly done justice on the big screen!Wesker's entire character is he's an asshole for no reason, and his entire plan is to destroy the planet for no reason.It's fun in a campy way, maybe. But it's total slop. It has no real value.
>>744002326Constantin (a kraut production company) had held the exclusive live-action adaptation rights for almost 30 years, and they have spent that entire time shitting down their leg.
>>744010553honestly the first RE movie was pretty ok
>>744011097>the movies are even worse than the games>but you are insane for wanting the movies to be like the games because the games suck tooWhy are you even here nigger
These are OG cucks getting mad they're slop games made in 96 and 98 are not being represent in away they want. Fuck off already. We're not going back to fix camera angles and we're not going back to the amateur direction and writing. Go watch the cringe shit video Residents of Evil puts up on his channel.
>>744011097Resident Evil is basically a mashup of a million horror and action movies, let’s not pretend for a second like it’s somehow unfilmable unless you completely throw the baby out with the bath water, and just slap the title onto an unrelated script.
>>744011271to tell you to stop getting mad about Resident Evil movies.Are you one of those people raging about Transformers movies too?Are you mad the Masters of the Universe movie doesn't fit into the cartoon continuity?
>>744010732The original Resident Evil films have no franchise competitors. That's why they're so desperate to shock the corpse back to life.
>>744011365>it's a mashup of different horror movies, but you can't make a horror movie and call it Resident Evil
>>744011398Will you ever stop asking inane questions?Nobody is going to see your fag friend's movie
Will go down as the best RE movie and make about $300 million. Cope cucks. I'm glad you get to suffer and continue having content that you don't like being pumped out every year. You people deserve nothing but the worst when you go online and in your own personal lives.
>>744011460I already said I have no interest in watching it.
>>744011398>don't have standards for things you like because they aren't very good and I don't like them!Kill yourself
>>744010860Weapons was mid and only pushed because >>744010762
>>744002117Have their been any updates on the theory that he sacrificed Trevor to the Jewish cabal in order to be given his career?It is extremely weird how he takes off right after Trevor falls of his balcony. He isn't even in the credits of his movies as special thanks or anything
>>744011548yes. Resign your outrage for things that are worth being angry about.
>>744010898The Max Payne film is messy, and one crew member said hiring John Moore was a terrible mistake, but it weirdly does understand Max Payne in a way many fans don't.
>>744011452Man, I bet you got so excited thinking you had a “gotcha” there. It takes inspiration from a bunch of film sources, but it has a through line that is entirely its own, you disingenuous cunt. My point is that it is filmic by its very design, if there was a will to take advantage of it, but it’s like the filmmakers they pick are almost embarrassed to be making a Resident Evil movie.Lucas based Star Wars and Indiana Jones on a ton of points of inspiration too, but they’re still distinctly their own thing.
>>744002117>Mortal Kombat was released in 1995>The first Mortal Kombat game is about fighters from different realms fighting each other in a tournament for supremacy>The first Mortal Kombat movie is about fighters from different realms fighting each other in a tournament for supremacy>Mortal Kombat (1995) is to this day still considered one of the best video game adaptionsit's been 30 years and these fucks are still trying to take established vidya IPs and slap a few character names and locations over their original story and then act shocked when fans don't love it. the first MK laid the blueprint and showed how simple it is to please fans by just sticking to the lore and official story so why the fuck has no other director just followed that example?
>>744004035Assuming this is real, why do this? You have the easiest misseryslop ending with the guy surviving just to see the nuke exploding and the screen fades to blackThis sounds like they wanted to make le funny with the ending or something but at the same time make it tragic? Idk what the fuck is this
>>744011779Cinema doesn't respect gaming.
>>744002117Why does RE have such an enduring legacy as a film franchise? You'd think after the last couple of attempts to recapture the profitability of the original movie series, they'd have stopped by now.
>>744011779Mortal Kombat and the original Resident Evil films are by the same guy. The difference is that they don't actually own the rights to the Capcom Resident Evil characters, but rather use them under restrictive license, so literal step 1 of adapting Resident Evil is to replace Capcom's characters with your own character. Your own protagonist that you own and Capcom don't control. This is why Alice was created.Alice exists to replace Jill. Jovovich originally signed on to play Jill, but Anderson sat her down and explained that having a Capcom owned character be the protagonist of Resident Evil was a complete no-go. She had to become Alice.
>>744005254No one would give them attention if they made their own shit.
>>744010572the thing is mid
>>744011923It's bold of you to assume that Cregger paid the slightest attention to the plot of any of the RE games. He only cares about how he felt playing the games, not about anything that actually happened in them.
>>744004459So he was making a movie, got the RE IP, and changed the name of the city of said movie to Raccoon City
Seems like a mad lib script where he puts in resident evil references.
>>744011964To be fair WTRC and RE Netflix were pretty close together, delayed due to COVID. That didn't work, so they're now trying to pull an Evil Dead. Basically hire hot new horror directors and let them make movies that are vaguely "RE" in some wishy-washy way. So the sequel will just ignore this film completely and have a new director and do its own thing. Rinse, repeat. So RE shifts from being "the adventures of Alice and her never ending quest to defeat Umbrella" to being a flexible horror anthology.I think there is a little merit to this in the sense that a huge reason the original films were able to continue is that they always mixed things up. Each new RE film was very different to the last one. Totally different visual style, music style (they changed composers 5 times and stopped using the iconic RE theme after the third movie), and shifting from slow motion to super fast editing in the final movie. Kept people on their toes. Box office declined overall, especially in the US, but it didn't implode. Even without China added in, RE The Final Chapter still made like 160M on a 40M budget. Which is not bad for a strange film that feels like a cry for help sometimes. RE in its death throes was outgrossing 28 Years Later, a massively hyped Danny Boyle movie with glowing reviews. But after Anderson left there has been a clear sense of having no idea what to do. The Netflix show made a lot of choices that never would have been made if anyone had bothered to ask Anderson what he thought. The fucking dialogue, man. What the hell. And THIS movie is repeating the same issue. I don't get it.
>>744011690RE's entire through line is "zombies" and the term zombie is used incredibly loosely to mean any kind of man-made monster, or in some cases parasite infections. There is usually but not always an evil corporation.So, the new movie is doing a perfectly fine job at being RE, actually.
>>744012138The exact lineage of the script is a bit fuzzy. But I think the overall total lack of RE story ideas or themes or anything like that is more a product of Cregger not caring at all about any aspect of Resident Evil other than the gameplay. He's like hiring someone to direct a RoboCop reboot and they only care about the gameplay of RoboCop: Rogue City. They don't care about the story themes, the satire, any of it.
>>744012003>Jovovich originally signed on to play Jill, but Anderson sat her down and explained that having a Capcom owned character be the protagonist of Resident Evil was a complete no-go. She had to become Alice.She wasn't hired to play Jill. The script with Jill was already scrapped before she was cast. Reportedly the original script by Romero was immediately rejected by Capcom as being too similar to the games. Capcom was apparently concerned if the movie was the same as the game then there would be no reason to play the game and it would cannibalize their sales. Anderson was hired to write the film and given the instruction to come up with his own characters and story and just keep the basic premise intact from the game and that's it.
>>744011652That he's an edgy bostonian manlet with a high pitched voice and zero stage presence?
>>744002117The previous RE films all sucked in various ways. There's no way the director of Barbarian and Weapons will make a movie as bad as those ones.
Directors who have gotten $20 million upfront and 20% of first-dollar gross:>Peter Jackson for King Kong (after the LotR trilogy)>Christopher Nolan from Dunkirk onward (after the Dark Knight trilogy, Inception and Interstellar)>Zach Cregger for Resident Evil (after Barbarian grossed $45 million and Hollywood folks read the script for Weapons)Really gets the ol' noggin' joggin'
>>744012370So this movie doesn't actually have an evil corporation. Umbrella doesn't control Raccoon. They're just a random biotech company that did a project for the government that made a mistake and caused an accident and now the wildlife is eating people. There are no BOWs in the sense Resident Evil uses them. There are no conventional zombies. In terms of world building and themes, it bears no resemblance to the games, the previous films, any of it. The previous films are about how zombies are an allegory for repression of individuality. This is why Rain's terror at not being herself anymore, at being something that looks like her, but is not her is interesting, because she's actually a clone, a mass produced Umbrella base model given a hastily assembled, very shallow programmed personality. All of the characters in the first movie, including Alice, are not real people. And this is foreshadowed 15 years in advance by the fact the opening scene in the bathroom is a reference to Dark City, a film about a character who wakes up in a fake world filled with people who have had their memories and personalities altered/replaced/switched.
>>744011025RE2 remake is a better survival horror game than the original 2 and 90% of RE4make complaints are madcuzbad because the original RE4 is baby easy with generous iframes up the ass. 4make has an actual skill ceiling and that makes shitters mad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNd1gb19A-cThis looks like it's taking a lot of ques from the games, actually>crashing your car and being lost in the snow, which is a nod to RE8>scavenging for guns and ammo>classic zombies>main character is a doofy idiot in over his head, which evokes Ethan or a little of RE2How is this not in the vein of Resident Evil?
>>744011271The animated movies are pretty game-y and the just became memes. This could be a 1:1 retelling of RE2 and you chucklefucks would be outraged for it being too close to the games. You are pissing in an ocean of piss and would never be happy with any outcome
>>744012718This is some grade A bait.
>>744012769You have to understand, most Resident Evil "fans" don't like the GAMEPLAY of Resident Evil, they treat it as a slice of life anime checking in with Chris, Jill, Leon, and sometimes Claire. They want a linear roller coaster ride that they play once on easy and then put down when the credits roll. They don't like Resident Evil for its gameplay, so when Zach Cregger says he's trying to capture the feelings he had playing Resident Evil, shitters don't understand, they just go WHERE'S LEON??? and then cry
>>744002117Jesus Christ save us. Resident Evil has the most basic bitch plot in existence, how do they keep fumbling it this hard?>big pharmaceutical company>makes bioweapons in secret>have secret lab below ground and use some rich guys mansion as the cover above ground>accidentally the virus and infect the staff on grounds>lab test monsters get loose as well>special team of police officers gets sent in by their leader>their leader is a double agent >protagonists uncover this over the events of the game and have a showdown in the final actIt could not be more simple.
>>744012881Some of this shit we might forgive in a video game but when you put it in a film it just really fucking retarded. Could you imagine if they actually make an RE film where the captain of the swat team is revealed to moonlight as a bioweapons chemist? Audiences would think that is ridiculous.
>>744012508>She wasn't hired to play Jill.It's complicated. She actually met with Anderson and told him she wanted to be Jill. And he said no. And he told her it was because it would trap them into Capcom's storylines. This would become a pattern. So Capcom would never allow the reveal that Jill works for Umbrella or is a clone.>Reportedly the original script by Romero was immediately rejected by Capcom as being too similar to the games.This isn't true. Constantin scrapped that version because it was too violent for a German-made movie and Romero was being an ass about it.Capcom were not exactly opposed to game characters being used in the first film, but they did have issue with Jill IIRC. But the studio decided to sidestep Capcom's control. Alice is Jill. Spence is Wesker. That's why he's the traitor in the group working to steal the research. Matt is based on the McElroy script version of Brad, I think? Basically in the McElroy script there was a character who was looking for his missing girlfriend and had snuck in using false ID to impersonate a member of STARS. This evolved into Matt pretending to be an RPD officer to search for his missing girlfriend. Also, in the Romero script, Brad was a computer hacker. This evolved into the character of JD.
>>744004035This reads fake as fuck, man
>>744009248What makes it especially egregious is the RCPD jacket. Even casuals and that ada wong actor know it's the RPD. This suggests that he has absolutely minimal exposure to the franchise itself.
>>744008187the fact that it took me like 5 seconds to remember who it was tells you a lot. But yeah, the bar is low but the Baker family and the group from 8 were great and memorable.
>>744010572I was pointing out that putting your movie even indirectly in comparison with the first thing people will think about when mentioning "horror movie in the snow" is arrogant as fuck. No one cares about your contrarian opinion and it wasn't relevant to my post in the first place.
>>744008187>>744013280Gideon is awesome but he disappears from the story for a huge chunk of it to be replaced by Temu Wesker, and the final boss battle is just a copy of that dogshit nemesis fight from 3make
>>744010572I love John Carpenter but Kubrick is the greatest American director to ever live while Carpenter is just a pretty good genre director
>>744012769>>crashing your car and being lost in the snow, which is a nod to RE8Every fucking horror film has this. For fuck's sake multiple Silent Hill games including Shattered Memories have this.>scavenging for guns and ammoEvery horror film has this. Including all the previous RE films.>classic zombiesNo classic zombies in this, actually.>main character is a doofy idiot in over his head, which evokes Ethan or a little of RE2No, not at all. In no way whatsoever. RE protags are never idiots. They tried an idiot protag once in an adaptation -- Jade Wesker in the Netflix show, and the backlash was intense. People could not stand her. They didn't want to watch a moron get a lot of people killed stumbling around being a fuckwit and leaving voice mails for her boyfriend and daughter.
>>744010572>>744013359I suppose people might also think about Gremlins, come to think of it. But that's more comedy horror.
>>744012802All the points are true. Cregger's movie doesn't have an evil corp or traditional zombies or BOWs or any of that. And the original RE film is very obviously homaging Dark City.The older RE films have core themes that are derived from the games about what Umbrella is, what Umbrella represents, and why Umbrella is bad. Cregger's film is not like this in any way whatsoever.
>>744013424Kubrick is so fucking overrated. There's a reason why people can name less than half the films he made.
>>744013105The script leaked over a year ago and every single scene in these trailers is in the script. I heard that the ending isn't really any different in the final cut. The film is a bizarre, mean spirited, nihilistic mess that to me feels like it's aimed at the Evil Dead audience and is gonna be the AvP Requiem of the series as far as fans are concerned. Just an awful, mean spirited movie with incredibly unlikeable characters. But I think critics and horror hardcore fans will really dig it.
>>744013559>And the original RE film is very obviously homaging Dark City.No, it is not. These are cliches that appear in thousands of films.
>>744013726I guarantee the only Carpenter film that has ANY traction with normies is Halloween and that's not because of the actual craft of the film itself but because it launched a franchise of dogshit sequels they watched on VHS and DVD as a kid Carpenter also hasn't made a good movie in decades whereas Kubrick was making kino right up until he died
>>744013067Not if it was umbrella that put the team together to find out how experiments perform in combat.
>>744013881>Kubrick was making kino right up until he diedEyes Wide Shut was terrible.
I didn't like weapons and dropped barbarian after 30 minutes due to how boring it was but I think this movie looks pretty good.
>>744013921It's kino, kys
>>744013559Wait till you see Paprika
>>744013429>>744013559The intent matters here as well, and that's what some people don't seem to get. I would totally be onboard if the dude wanted to make a new take using the already established foundation as a jumping off point. He could have had it set in the winter before the Raccoon City incident, totally self contained with a character, depending on if the movie does well or not, could be introduced in to the greater lore. Instead he decides to create this parallel timeline that's apparently set in the universe of Resident Evil but that thus far shows no signs of anything resembling it except the usual horror tropes we've seen in every other horror movie in the last 3 decades.It would be as if JJ rebooted the Star Trek universe, did the different timeline like he did but then proceeded to not use any of the established entities, lore, and characters but hey there is a Federation and it is set in space.
>>744013429>every horror film has thisRE is inspired by horror films. What a stupid argument.>No classic zombies in this, actually.No?
>>744013747>aimed at the Evil Dead Audienceexcept the evil dead audience enjoys Raimi's style - even the most recent evil dead films were at best just nods to the originals.I guarantee you this film will not do well. I'm an evil dead fan and I'm not interested.
>>744010572Zoomers need to be rounded up and shot.
>>744013992The zombies run fast and morph into eachother using worm-leeches. They're not classic zombies in any sense of the phrase.
>>744012869Yeah, that's the inkling I get. There are a lot of "Resident Evil fans" who like watching the CGI movies, and like reading wikis. They also like Leon and Chris and they want them to team up in every game, otherwise they complain.and then there's me over here who likes playing the games, and hardly gives a fuck about any of what they care about, and if anything I want them to stop putting Chris and Leon in games now.
>>744013824You are clearly unfamiliar with Anderson's deep affinity for ripping off movies he saw once. (Interesting fact, the chick who plays Jill is in both these movies.) Literally like 30 seconds after she does the Dark City (who am I? why did I wake up naked?) bathroom thing, she goes outside and copies Long Kiss Goodnight by checking her handwriting.
>>744013921>The film that openly discussed ultra-rich cults and their sex orgies was terrible$10 have been deposited into your account by Mr. Epstein
>>744014168I never said the idea that women are cheating whores and that rich people engage in degenerate sexual cults was terrible. Just said the film was terrible.
>>744014026My concern is that the recent Evil Dead films demonstrate a clear box office ceiling for mean spirited gory, bleak movies. You max out at about 150M. And that's not good enough for a film that costs 80M. I think they're hoping Cregger's name will push this past that. But the ending is so shit... I can't imagine seeing this ending as described on the page and wanting to recommend it to others.
>>744013992They're not zombies, they're tentacle mutants.
>>744013985they made that. It's called Deep Space Nine.
>>744014154I get it, you wandered over from /tv/ where you were busy doing your best "dude who has only seen boss baby" impression but can you fuck off back there please?
>>744014096So it's the leech zombies from RE0?
Also fat guys full of rats. This scene is just a shittier version of the bit in Slither where the bloated woman explodes into worms.
>>744002117Can't wait to see what kind of gay liberal faggot politics he forces into this shit like every other piece of woke slop trash he's shat out.
>>744014152>I don't care about what they care about>But I do care about the exact opposite thing they care aboutYou're the other side of the coin there, bud
>>744003746If two lines is "losing it" then what does your wall of text post indicate?
>>744013824>>744014154There is a shot in the PWSA movie Soldier starring Kurt Russel with a glass vial clinking on the ground in slow motion. It bothered me for years. Then it clicked like a light going on. It's a direct visual copy of a dropped cigarette in the film Backdraft starring Kurt Russel. Every Anderson film is like this. It's impressive how deep it runs.
>>744014353>Is still set in the Star Trek universe where events that happened previously affect the story in different ways>Has characters from previous shows on it>Advances the universe with its storyIt is not in any way comparable to what I was saying.
>>744014154mentioning the plagiarism in ws anderson RE movies is like mentioning a blemish on the back of a flea ridden dog....
>>744014447Person who plays video games, and recognises them as fun video games?RE was never good because Chris was in it. Chris is a piece of driftwood.Leon was a fun character once, and it wasn't in RE2.
>>744014478There is another shot in Soldier of a bad guy's boot entering the frame, and it's like, wait, I know this shot. I know it, I know it... It's Griff from Back to the Future 2!If you've ever seen a Paul W.S. Anderson film and you thought, wait, I've seen this shot before, your instincts are always correct. His films are assembled out of a dreamlike regurgitation of images. Almost like a proto-AI filmmaker ala Quentin Tarantino. (Who actually really liked Anderson's Three Musketeers remake.)
>>744014285The original evil dead films arent 'mean spirited' and neither are most films that pay tribute to it. Rami found the easiest path into film for independants was horror and he just took his weird style and sense of humor into that.Cregger's movie will not be like Evil Dead, it will be worse, and it will perform poorly
>>744002326I'm certain that ever since Street Fighter The Movie, Capcom have stopped giving a fuck about what happens to their IPs when handled by overseas third parties. Hence the god awful Darkstalkers show, Streetwise, Bionic Commando, DmC, Shitfix Devil May SAAR, etc.
>>744014542Where's the Enterprise? Where's Captain Spock? Why do the Grabons look all weird? What is a Bajooran? What's a Dominican?
>>744010860>Weapons Director Thanks, now I can safely ignore this dogshit movie
>>744014587Also the RE games have basically zero original ideas, so we can't throw stones.
>>744014609Then it shouldn't bother you if you play Leon for the 7th time. If you just care about the gameplay experience then you'll enjoy it either way. You say you hardly care but there you are complaining about it because you're getting something you don't want. Same as them.
>>744007846Based
>Weapons and Barbarian.Weapons was mildly interesting, Barbarian was absolute direct to dvd early 00's budget Horror tier horseshit. Not exactly horribly bad but in the end both where as generic as it gets. Back when DVD's became a thing those where the movies you could get a the supermarket 5 bucks each popup here. Movies so mid, you wouldnt bother to rent them out at the local blockbuster but just put them near the counter somewhere in the hopes that moms grab one while walking by during grocery shopping.Without being in any way invested in RE I already know this movie will be as bland and shitty but at the same time somewhat palatable as possible. Absolute end level normiecore. So even without fanboy lore autism this guy pisses me off as he is the quintessential harbinger of mediocracy, the nutra loaf of directors, the personification of a dead end job office cubicle.
>>744014652Hate how the deadites don't have a sense of humor anymore.
>>744014285>most jewish poster ever.you clearly lack sense for dark humor if you think Evil Dead isn't a slapstick comedy, its like American Psycho and complaining about how horrific it was when you weren't clearly the target audience for it.
>>744014652>The original evil dead films arent 'mean spirited'First one was.
LISTEN TO THE WOMAN JOHNCALM DOWN JUST CALM DOWNCALM DOWN JUST CALM DOWN
>>744014706Off camera, doing other things and living in the world, not born yet or dead depending on the time it is set. Just because we don't see them doesn't mean they don't exist. As oppose to using the name Star Trek, none of the characters existing and just having a thinly veiled Federation with none of the same species existing. Inconsistencies in continuity or plot holes do not constitute erasure of the grand lore of the setting either.
>>744002117He's right about snow being kino, and trying to repeat the games' plot would be bad.
>>744007846Speaking of Bautista, he was good in In the Lost Lands. Even GRRM liked the film despite its... problems. I just wish Paul W.S. Anderson hadn't turned into giant pussy and ruined the ending. ITLL doesn't work without the incredibly bleak "be careful what you wish for" he caved like an utter cuck because something, something, I'm a family man now, and replaced it with a tacked on happy ending. Total bullshit.
>>744005730he managed to out-reddit kevin smith, impressive
>>744014887I feel like the legacy characters are dragging things down at this point. You lose some of the sense of being a guy in a scary situation, when your guy has already done this five or six times.Plus, I just don't like Chris. He's boring. I don't like how Ethan's story gets bookeneded with Chris because "look, it's Mr Resident Evil!". It feels like pandering.I don't mind that Leon was in 9, but stop now. If you've gotta do something, make a prequel about Barry in the 70's or something.
>>744014976American Psycho was a gigantic box office bomb. It kinda proves their point.
>>744014168Yeah we got a movie about this and """they""" sabotaged it with Tom Cruise, a terrible OST and plenty else I've forgotten since watching that trash a decade ago.Totally toothless as well. 70s Kubrick would have trashed it.
Here is your Resident Evil movie, bro.
>>744014981Did it have some mean moments? sure, but that wasnt the core of the film. The tree rape scene lasted 10s and it was over. Overall the meanest part of the evil dead series. The goal was to shock and pull in viewers and I think they accomplished that.>>744014956Same. everyone is trying so hard to be serious all the time so the evil dead films stop feeling like a 'ride' with scary moments interrupted by points of levity/silliness.Seems like everyone is trying hard to emulate/recapture the spirit of the first film and not realizing that most people enjoy 2+3 more.
>>744015104yet critically loved by viewers? it still gets referenced daily and memed online in good spirits. people loved it, just it wasn't "for all audiences" there's a reason a marvel movie can break even easily because everyone can go and watch it, with films like American Psycho they require a certain audience and lowered sense of audience numbers that will come to see it.

>>744015096Yea, the well is running dry and there isn't anything new except for things like Ethan but that story is over for now. Maybe they'll do something with Rose and BSAA but that's very thin already.
>>744015219lmfao, I wonder if his inevitable gay political message in his RE movie will be as ham fisted and blatant as this scene in Weapons
>directors 2 films are great in the first half and shit in the secondSeems like the perfect guy for the job when it comes to making an RE film
>>744015263>yet critically loved by viewers?It got a D cinemascore which is incredibly bad. Similar to Event Horizon and Eyes Wide Shut and Vanilla Sky and stuff like that.Point is, RE movies cannot afford to be like this. Not at this budget level. The whole reason the old Resident Evil movies are like that is because Event Horizon was a massive failure that along with Soldier almost destroyed PWSA's career. So he pivoted hard with RE. You cannot make an RE film like Event Horizon or Vanilla Sky or similarly alienating film.I have concerns that Cregger has made a mistake with this film. That it will please the niche, and piss of the normies and a lot of RE fans who will hate the tone and ending and dialog and so on.

>>744015242It's not just the tree rape. It's things like a close up shot of someone being stabbed with a pencil and then it being used to gouge around the wound. Sam Raimi has gone on record saying Evil Dead was supposed to be a brutal, shocking, unrelenting, dark horror experience. It wasn't meant to be campy. It wasn't meant to be fun. It was meant to be horrible.
>>744015104and Evil Dead was a box office smash, as was Evil Dead IIthe only Reason army of darkness didnt succeed is because the retarded execs wouldn't let Raimi call it 'The Medievil Dead'
Whoever is getting upset at Zack Cregger is fucking retarded. All the Resident Evil movies have been shit and you're finally getting a great director to attempt to pull it off. I invite anyone to watch any of Cregger's recent movies like Barbarian and Weapons, they're fucking 10/10s. It's going to be great.
>>744015624It's bots or chinks
>>744015580Raimi also said in interviews that his main goal of making a film was to be entertaining, and that if your film wasn't entertaining that you were wasting the audience's time.Evil dead is a lot of things but Mean Spirited is not something most people would use to describe it.
Who should be cast as Gracie Wacie? Who the heck can you cast to play Gracie Wacie?
>>744015624I've only seen Barbarian and think giving that film a 6 is being generous.
Anderson won.>>744015624>All the Resident Evil movies have been shitlol no
>>744015624>>744015653>Jeets going back to calling people bots because the sameposters cant stand being exposed.Your blind enthusiasm for this unreleased film is already proof enough you're a shill. Stop pretending.

>>744015669It’s mean spirited because it’s anti-trans
I dont give a shit that its set in the snow and im glad he is pissing off “resident evil fans” by not including their retarded animu recurring charactersMy only concern from the trailer so far would be that there seemed to be a more supernatural tone to a couple of the creatures shown, rather than genetically mutated monsters
>>744015372Just come up with a new character, and put them in a game. Everyone was fine with this when RE2 came out, but it's seemingly forbidden now.
>>744015624I didn't like any of his movies so this changes nothing for me. I wanted Mel Gibon to direct a RE movie.
>>744015580I think you fundamentally misunderstood him. He meant that that the movie wasn't meant to be funny, not that it wasn't meant to be fun. Two completely different things. His later movies pivot to a more slapsticky style, which is completely absent from the first Evil Dead movie. That's what he meant, not that you are supposed to watch the movie and not have a good time.
>>744015840>I wanted Mel Gibon to direct a RE movie.I genuinely have no idea what that would be like, what did you have in mind?
I wonder how many people will soi out with all the little references sprinkled in last minute.
>>744002117>I took liberties to tell a story that I wanted to tellThen do it with your own IP instead of leeching off of something far more popular by itself than anything you could ever create in that inbred head of yours?
>>744015430don't use Cinemascore, use Rotten Tomatoes with their Critics (industry shills) and Independent Voices. Remember all those "survey based sites" are very picky and do not align with reality because its a concentrated number.
>>744015624Look, I'm glad Cregger is able to make a new horror movie, but that would have happen with or without the RE branding.>>you're finally getting a great director to attempt to pull it offTo pull what off? Make a good movie with the Resident Evil name on it?If it's not adapting the games, nor is it telling a story in the games' universe, why should I give a shit? I'm not a Capcom stakeholders

Nothing worse than the OG cucks of RE.
>>744004216how can people working on billion dollars projects be so immature and unprofessional
>>744015580>>744015906I always thought it was odd that one of the key differences between Within the Woods and The Evil Dead was Campbell's character changing from main antagonist to protagonist. I wonder if Raimi ever commented on that.
>>744016018Because when you work on a billion dollar project you immediately think you're better than the rest of the population.You could be serving coffee to Elliott Page and you'd probably still have an ego about it.
>>744016018lmao, I just find that to be industry standard inside joke commentary. one of the D&D novel writers used to write sex scenes inside the books just so the editors/etc would have to read it and have to tell him to cut that out type of shenanigans. western humor for anyone that was born before 00s. it was never anything serious, you lot need to learn to take a chill pill.
>>744013105All movie scripts sound fake and gay until you see it in motion. Then it's just gay.
>>744016005He would have just used it as a vehicle for his ideas and not made it faithful to the lore
>>744004386Being him, (you) should know.
>>744015993Really? I never found the whole Wesker children subplot to be all that interesting (frankly I'd say it undermines Wesker's character as a villain) so I'm surprised anyone would want that as the core plot for a movie.
>>744016021>I wonder if Raimi ever commented on that.Yes, sort of. He's said in several interviews here and there that Campbell surprised him with his charisma which is what lead to their long partnership.
>>744016146>standard inside joke commentaryAh so being cringe is the industry standard
>>744016005>right amount of physical humor/zaninessRE has almost entirely been a dead serious horror franchise. RE4 is a weird departure that they never really did again.
>>744016240That's neat. I mean in both movies Bruce still steals the show and is prominant regardless but I suppose giving him the lead stands to reason.
>>744015596Evil Dead had a tiny budget. The only reason Evil Dead Burn is a profitable film is that it only cost like 20 million to make. Curious how the next one will do.
why are you niggers hating so much on this movie? makes me want to watch it to be honest. Cant be worse than the Final Fantasy movie I watched as a kid.
>>744016146That also sounds like a test to make sure they were actually doing their jobs, kind of like the brown M&Ms thing.

What director would have the testicular fortitude to re-create the RE1 credits and keep the song?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qivWOZsOPW0
RE9 is the most successful RE game ever and it's filled to the brim with "memba RE2" right down to including a little lore excuse for why the town in the intro looks like it's stuck in the late 90s.I only really get complaining about stuff like this when it "threatens" the original universe like DmC but it definitely doesnt here
>>744017043towns generally don't develop at the rate that cities or urban settlements do. they'll only develop if they are forced to upgrade because of some zoning laws. I don't see an issue with this.
>>744016657why is chris such an asshole
>>744017043After DmC and the Shitflix show I think people are just tired of egomaniacs using Capcom's IPs as their personal wankrags.
>>744015671Snood
>>744013559>>744014154>>744014478>>744014621I hope you warmed up before doing all that stretching. That's all basic ass shit you see in every movie.
>>744017115pretty sure wrenwood is intended to be a city, it's not like a small half-dead industrial townin any case the point is that Capcom understands well the appeal of RE2's tone so I doubt that they're gonna go "waow people liked this movie? retcon RE2 now!" or whatever like some other tie-ins
>>744017228Her series flopped and she went away
>>744017212You understand Capcom accepts what they make, right?
>>744016005Raimi has been shit for quite a while now and I say this as someone with a religious love of Evil Dead 2. Send Help was fucking atrocious.
>>744017710Yes, but they get paid to whore their IPs, we're the suckers who are expected to pay for this garbage, so why indulge them?
>>744017721I thought the Dr. Strange movie was okay. Considering it was heavily contrained and tainted by being MCU slop, obviously.
>>744017721I thoroughly enjoyed Send Help. Could easily tell it was a raimi film by the style and sense of humor, and even though the ending was somewhat predictable I had a good time.
The Resident Evil story is incredibly stupid; the only people who like it are the neckbeards on Reddit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VgvM3bXU4E
>>744018352False, the neckbeards on reddit are the ones who nitpick and complain about it while the real kino enjoyers embrace the retardation as good clean fun
>>744018352and here is the hollywood dilemma:You need the videogame IP for brand recognition because nobody gives a fuck about your movies anymoreBUTYou cant' admit you like anything about the IP so it's 'impossible to adapt' and 'the writing was always bad' - which basically just proves the previous point.However, why should we watch your shitty RE film if it's not supposed to be related to RE and you don't like the franchise to begin with
>>744018562I wish modding didn't require effort because I have so many great ideas but am far too lazy to implement any of them.>replacing Chunk with a giant obese Grace model purely so I can screenshot it and spam it whenever Gracefags show up to piss them off

>>744002117Resident Evil fans are all entering their 40's and realizing they're going to die without ever seeing the promised avengers crossover with all of their protagonists fighting the umbrella final boss in europe outside of a really shit WII rail shooter. They got cucked out of it and have been desperately hoping for Capcom to go back and retcon the events between CV and 4 so they can have their catharsis. So every time RE does a retcon or reboot or lore shift they go fucking crazy because it just means their getting farther and farther from that possibility.
>>744015376retard
>>744018898Here we go again, swinging between bashing the IP because it's below you, to promising the IP movie is gonna be good. Cant you pick a lane?
>>744010572Kinda true. The Thing is one of the best films ever made.
>>744019073>Cant you pick a lane?yeah you cannot make a good resident evil moviethe Resident Evil story only works in video games
>>744018115that film was alright but I feel like you could hardly tell that Raimi directed it
>>744004417Lol what? This faggot is known for WKUK. Nothing he has made after that was good.
>>744019320because Trevor Moore was the legend.
>>744019395https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYy77IGsBFc
Weapons was boring dogshit predicated entirely on the cool visual of kids and the principal with his bloody swollen face doing that weird arms out run. Barbarian was neat as a premise but half the movie is just characters fucking around in the house before shit hits the fan and the weird feminist messaging it had going on with trying to compare Justin Long's character who had regret sex with some bitch in the past to a dude who literally kidnapped women, raped them and then raped the offspring for DECADES was ridiculous.
>>744019248The first 3 RE games could adapt totally clean to movie scripts. Hell you could make RE2 into a little cinematic event if you handled it right. Shoot Leon A/Claire B as two separate movies during the same production and release them in the same year. The problem with the RE movies is that Constantin has made a shitload of money off the Anderson movies that are complete fanfiction and they genuinely think Welcome To Raccoon City failed because it was TOO faithful to the games.
>>744019436its wise to let Italians sit out on your race wars: look at Germany.
>>744002117
>>744019607This pretty much. You could keep the campy dialogue, the slow zombies, all of it. Even the 'puzzles' exemplify intelligence on behalf of the characters solving them. All of these aspects could be made into interesting cinematic moments. All you had to do was give it to a studio/director that gave a shit.
>>744019607>The first 3 RE games could adapt totally clean to movie scriptsnot enough dialogueyou are alone in these games solving puzzles and shooting monsters
>>744019769>Even the 'puzzles' exemplify intelligencethe puzzles in resident evil are a joke
>>744019783>NOT ENOUGH DIALOGUE!Yeah because modern films with minimal dialogue never do well
>>744019250Eh, it had its Raimi moments, like corpse Strange being kind of goofy. Also Bruce hitting himself but for Raimi that's basically the free square.
>>744019858they aren't even puzzles.
>>744019858you obviously dont have to copy the puzzles, I'm talking about using puzzles and problem solving in the script dipshit

>>744019889resident evil is not wall ethe final act of WALL-E features dialogue and drama
>>744019991>this is "losing it" to low test conservatives
>>744020059Dialogue is not a requirement for any movies dumbass.You do realize there was an entire era in which there was zero spoken dialogue in film? Or did mom and dad forget to tell you about that.
>>744019943yeah lets fix crapcom garbage puzzles and crappy scriptsNo self respecting writer would even bother doing that
>>744019783Luckily film is a visual medium.
>>744020146yeah it's better to say 'VIDEO GAMES BITCH!' when shooting a gun and having your idiot protagonist stumble around while talking to himself for 90 minutes let me know how that works out for you in a few months.
All horror movies are the same drab slow burn slop
>>744020090to the modern cry hole, responding to any question or criticism is a breakdown. In order to be a based counterculture person now you have to act like a hysterical woman 24/7
>>744019783>not enough dialogueMovies at one point in time had no dialogue.
>>744020140Capcom's CGI movies feature dialogue, so Capcom must think that Resident Evil movies should have dialogue and character interactions.
>>744019943Did none of you silly cunts watch Indiana Jones, The Mummy, or National Treasure? Puzzles and characters figuring shit out on the fly or under time pressure is A+ cinema
>>744020261>tfw no silent re movie

>>744020440i dont watch shitty movies so nope
>>744019783>you are alone in these games>even though 1 has most of S.T.A.R.S. occupying the same area>even though 2 has Leon, Claire, Sherry, and Ada frequently crossing paths>even though 3 has Jill and the contracted Umbrella mercenaries working together>even though 4 has Agent Hunnigan and company on open comms and Ashley with you>even though 5 has a coop buddy always with you

>>744003849Resident Evil has had a passable story until Code Veronica decided they wanted some weird matrix shit where the villains were a bunch of inbred crossdressing freaks and it never made a full recovery from that.
>>744020548I mean, it could be worse.
>>744019889Wall-E really is counter to your example, it did that for all of the first act before the writers went "ok we need to get to the actual plot now" and had wall-e enter the spaceship filled with other characters and dialogue.
>>744020457>entire joke is just "eww a jew" followed by "eww a black person"
>>744020440>old people movieNobody cares about those. They were never popular.
>>744002117I genuinely don't get the seethe over this movie not adapting the game "story".Like, RE doesn't have a real story. It's a joke, it's just shit that is there solely to justify the gameplay. We used to make fun of the story all the time.Do people actually like this shit?Movie will be bad btw, but that's because it's Creggar.
>>744020670>>744020583>>744020513this would be better bait if you weren't using an unc forum to post about unc games
>>744020745/vr/ is the unc board. /v/ is for ZoomerGODs. Fuck off.
>>744020636It's not countered to anything. Films are a visual medium and plenty of talented people were able to convey information with minimal dialogue. Is it harder? Yes, but it is often far more enjoyable than hearing people hash out every plotpoint like a fucking netflix film.
>>744020623>>744003953The original trilogy does not have a good story either overall or each game on their own.Overall it's the most schizophrenic and inconsistent trilogy in potentially any medium (not counting sequel trilogies, like Halloween 4-6 or the last three Romero 'of the Dead' films).But individually, what the fuck is there?>RE1Some cops dick around in a mansion where stuff happened. Nobody really has any motivation that makes any amount of sense after killing their third zombie (aside from one guy who specifically wants to kill everyone with big monsters). The whole conceit of the narrative being around selling big uncontrollable monsters is fucking dumb as well, especially in a world with BOMBS.>RE2Ignoring the fact that this game has two completely contradictory storylines that apparently both happen, the characters are still largely flat and without motive, the whole conceit of the monsters is still dumb, the setting is even more ridiculous (a giant superlab underneath a normal fucking city, and the game implies that was a RECENT addition). It's just stupid.>RE3All that needs to be said is "America nuking itself".Or maybe "Giant talking monster with a rocket launcher".
>>744020739Nobody is even asking for a 1:1. They just see the movie and know it's not going to be even slightly related to the IP.Max Payne was one of my favorite games of all time growing up and even inspired me to write my own short stories. Of course I was pissed when the movie was a dogshit rugpull.People like creggler think the audience owes him for his work, when it's the other way around. If you dont have an audience you dont have a job.
>>744021068>They just see the movie and know it's not going to be even slightly related to the IP.It has Raccoon City, Umbrella, and zombies. That's everything that RE actually is.
>>744020819zoomers are uncs now its not 2016 anymore
>>744020514>S.T.A.R.S>Umbrella mercenariesmost of them are deadFurthermore, adapting the video game story as it stands would require writing new and additional dialogue for the characters—and let's be honest, no screenwriter is going to do that.
>>744021120I know you're being purposely obtuse for funsies but it's time to stop
>>744020638Yes. That's pretty damn funny.
>>744019607>The first 3 RE games could adapt totally clean to movie scripts.This is something that only someone who hasn't really made anything narrative driven would think.For a start, RE1 doesn't have a real story. To adapt RE1 you would need to completely rewrite it first, and if you're being 'faithful', you would need to have AT LEAST five main characters Those are>Chris>Jill>Barry>Wesker>RebeccaYou can work with the first four, but unless you cut Bravo team and just merge Rebecca in (which fans have and will complain about, see WTRC's changes), you then need to include Bravo Team into the story. If you faithfully adapt that, you have two more living characters in there.While including all that shit for Rebecca's character and the overall tragic element you need to write in>establishing scenes outside the setting of the game to set a sense of normalcy to contrast the tragedy>Wesker's motivation/characterization (beyond just a simple monologue at the end of the game, even SD Perry understood that)>introduce and show Barry's family so that they are not just a borderline non-existent plot device and carry actual weight>give Chris and Jill backstory and motive (not literal flashbacks, but they need actual drive, in the games they have nothing because (You) the player are the real main character, and your goal is exploring and beating the game)etc etc etcAll this in addition to figuring out what the theme of the story could even be, as RE1 barely even has a real theme that would survive being adapted into a film.This whole idea that it's "easy to adapt" because it LOOKS like something else is precisely why the upcoming Metal Gear Solid film will be a complete shitshow.
>>744020819>ZoomerGODsYou mean Gen APLHA GAWDS! We run this shit now so you old ahh zoomies can go back to >>>/vmg/
>>744021184No, that's reality.You could make the edge case that Wesker and Leon are also what "RE is", but the three bits of iconography I mentioned are really it. You act like game fans are the only facet of RE fandom, when the movies were WAY WAY WAY more popular and had WAY more fans than the games.
>>744020514>>744021164So, there's still a ton of STARS in RE1, you run around with Barry and Rebecca all the time in both scenarios.And Umbrella Mercs are alive for a fair chunk of RE3, and Carlos is with you right to the end.The only RE game where you're actually, measurably alone is probably Village, since Chris is framed as a secondary antagonist there. It's just Ethan and perhaps the merchant.RE7 as well when Zoe gets captured I suppose.
>>744010860Weapons and Barbarian were exceedingly mid, and that's not factoring in the fags obvious politics bleeding into into them in a distracting way.Can I get a quick check on this Cregger guy? Are his films similar nepobaby cases like Mixtape, E33, and the other trash we had in video games lately?
>>744021381>>give Chris and Jill backstory and motive (not literal flashbacks, but they need actual drive, in the games they have nothing You do fucking realize that they are cops sent out to investigate what is happening out there right? Their motive besides surviving is doing their JOB.
>>744021551>>744021381too much effortNo writer is going to do that for a video game
>>744021649Yeah, and that isn't good enough for characters who will be on screen for what will likely be 90-95% of your (like) 120~150 minute runtime (as mandated by current studio execs). That's fine enough motive for a video game, where they barely speak and nobody playing things about their goals or motive whatsoever, but in a film these characters have to speak, emote, ponder, the actors have to provide reactions that were non-existent in the game, etc.And again, the motive has to be deeper than investigate BECAUSE the excuse in the game for why they can't leave is because a couple of dogs were fucking around outside, which is absurd if you actually consider how much shit they kill in the mansion alone. By the time the hunters show up, they may as well just risk the forest, so they need something to keep these characters there.Because in a game you won't be wondering "Why doesn't the character just leave" because you're the main character. Chris and Jill in RE1 are VEHICLES for (YOU)R actions. But in a film, the people watching will be wondering why these CHARACTERS do RETARDED SHIT like stay in a mansion with giant lizard monsters instead of risking it outside with a couple dogs.
>>744021629so do you actually watch new films or play new games or do you just spend all day posting here
>>744021762Then they can enjoy yet another box office bomb.
>>744021869Yes, but I do not enjoy playing or watching trash.I know I'm supposed to just pay up and give positive feedback in public places online, but I just won't do that.
>>744021886>box office bombOut of seven Resident Evil films, one was not successful.
>>744021886well the anderson movies were succesful
>>744021950i think you don't play new games or watch new movies
>>744021957>>744021962And those were over 10-24 years ago.
why do uncs always try and talk back after getting humiliated in debate ?
>>744021381If you sit down and look at the monsters with the idea of adapting it to film, it's completely schizophrenic too. The zombies and the dogs are fine, they could carry a movie by themselves. But people would scream and cry and piss their pants if you did that. So you've also got to include:>A giant snake>Swarms of crows>A giant mutant plant and its smaller brother living in that fountain>a hive of giant mutant wasps>giant spiders>zombie sharks>a horde of frog/lizard man monsters with big claws>an even gianter spider>Brundleflies>A big naked gray guy>If you're using the remake as a template, Crimson Heads and Lisa's whole dealThat's fine for a game that people will take 6-8 hours to beat their first time through. For a 90-120 minute movie, it's a complete clusterfuck.
>>744021848>That's fine enough motive for a video gameIt also happens to be fine enough for movie and in fact [REC]2 does it exactly like that and it wasn't an issue.
>>744010572Yes, I would like some french fries.
>>744021987Why are you putting the blame on new releases being overwhelmingly shit on me?I've played Pragmata and RE9, those should still count as new enough.
>>744022118>you consider this a debate>you consider these 'discussions' winnable instead of just shitflingingI really hope you're ESL. Either that or your mother should be arrested for drinking while pregnant
>>744022267rec 2 sucksthe first rec movie is the only decent movie in that franchise
>>744004216>RCPDThe utter disrespect when they can't even get the name right.
>>744022376>utter disrespectgoodthe rpd was full of incompetent morons
>>744022338your mother should be arrested for making a poop baby liek you lmao
>>744022267>[REC]2A movie that was viewed as middling at best by both critics and general audiences, yes.
>>744022290Then it sounds like you just enjoy slop, considering RE9 and Pragmata suck.
>>744022374>>744022580>rec 2 sucksThis is the same thread with people saying RE sucks so this means nothing to me.
>>744022595>no ur games suck !!lol, lmaoRE9 was certainly on the weaker side of RE games however.Anyway how's Marathon going, getting any games?
>>744022730>you don't like these games so you must like THISResident Evil 9 was a blatantly half-assed title filled to the brim with recycled content from other games.Pragmata was a half-assed game that certainly didn't look or feel like it spent over seven years in development, considering how barebones everything about it was, from graphics to gameplay to story.

>>744022796both sold tons and fans loved them, cope
>>744022937So did E33 thoughbeit>>744022906I'll need to remind you that you're defending RE9.
>>744023045yea E33 was great too are you coping about that ass well ?
I look forward to seeing the clip 'YEAH BITCH, VIDEOGAMES!' hit youtube.Bravo my cregga.
>>744020932Oh sure it's perfectly possible for a film to do it and be good. But doing well is another matter and again, you'd want a better example than a film that felt the need to stop doing that after the first act.
why do a bunch of fat ugly old nerds on some shithole less popular than reddit think their expert opinions mean anything at all
>>744009808>Elena Voss>opening conversation reads straight out of my AI RPsDid you generate this script as a joke or is this actually real?
>>744023105See>>744021629
>>744023045>I'll need to remind you that you're defending RE9.no I'm not
>>744004670You’re being retarded on purpose. You don’t have to like weapons but to have not heard of it or barbarian means you aren’t invested in horror film and your opinion is superfluous.
>>744023165I dont need any more examples because I'm not spoonfeeding you on the basics of moviemaking.The whole point is that 'RE cant be adapted bc there's not enough' is a fucking asinine argument and you know it
>>744022906>This is your brain on community college film studies or creative writing classes.It's the basics of what makes a film work.You can't have a film that's just two hours of a character dicking around and not speaking, one where we learn basically nothing about said character. Even something as simple and iconic as Escape From New York tells you a lot about Snake Plisken in how he is written. He has a lot of thought put into him, he has a real story that the writers and actor clearly knew about, but that the audience doesn't. His story is just him going into New York to save one guy, but it spirals out from there into various side journeys to add to the themes and idea of the work.Faithfully adapting RE1 would be like if Snake Plisken never spoke, and the whole movie was him shooting random guys with no context.
>>744021987>>744021869>the only media that exists is heavily marketed AAA garbageGet the fuck off my board you absolutely disgusting sack of shit.
>>744021848>BECAUSE the excuse in the game for why they can't leave is because a couple of dogs were fucking around outside, which is absurd if you actually consider how much shit they kill in the mansion alone.What good does pretending to be retarded do you?
>>744012003With alot of sprinkles of Claire in the character, should've waited for Apocalypse to play Jill, Milla.
>>744005667>Anyone in the artsFaithful adaptions by great artists exist everywhere Just not from societies that promote and push nepo-baby narcissists
>>744023391I mean, it's the only media you've bothered to mention
>>744023428>What good does pretending to be retarded do you?Replay RE1 and note what happens in the opening.They are just chased inside by a few dogs. Really they could just stand at the door taking potshots at them, but it's a video game. The game would kind of suck if it was just two minutes of shooting dogs followed by the ending.>but Brad left!Because of the dogs.
>>744002117>I KNOW IT'S NOT 1998!>I KNOW IT'S FUCKING SNOWING!this guy needs to take a high school art class and learn how to take criticism.
I would simply make Tremors with Chris and Barry set in the Ozarks instead of the desert.
>>744023592The woods are infested with bizarre mutants and other creatures, not just the Cerberus we see, and it's the middle of the night in a dense forest with no real human presence within walking distance - the mansions was an unexpected, undocumented surprise. Their odds fare FAR better in a building looking for a way to contact help or at least hold out until the morning than trying to go outside at night. The original opening doesn't even make it clear it's just Cerberus attacking them compared to the remake, sure there's that one dog puppet you see getting shot but most of the camera work is just up close shots of gnashing teeth and flailing limbs, hell only knows WHAT was ripping Joseph apart.
>>744004216>Read this like 20 times thinking I'm missing something>Realize I'm right and the retard used the wrong fucking acronym Legitimately how does this even happen? Racoon is one fucking word
>>744023385>You can't have a film that's just two hours of a character dicking around and not speakingYes you can. See also Willy's Wonderland where everyone agrees the best part is the intro where they do exactly that.
>>744023349>I dont need any more examplesYou're implying you gave one to begin with and not a counterexample. I've even acknowledged that it is possible to make a good minimal dialogue film.
>>744024034He's retarded, "city" isn't included in police acronyms in the US. Same way the cops in New York are called NYPD, not NYCPD
>>744002117Modern directors who adapt an IP with no intent on respecting the source material are just fucking bizarre. Why not just make something entirely original at that point?
>>744002117not video games
is there any clip of this?
>>744024114I didn't even consider the fucking moron would put the C for city. I was thinking he was trying to do RaCoon city Police Department
>>744023990>The woods are infested with bizarre mutants and other creatures,First of all, canonically, they are aren't. The only things in the Arklay Woods at that time are dogs and some straggling zombies, and it can be inferred most of them are by the mansion since that's where all the fresh food (and noise) is. There's also crows but they're not really all that bothered by you.Additionally, there is nothing in the mansion to warrant investigation when they arrive beyond the gun shot, and no reason to explore it when there is a present danger that they are under equipped for. The novel actually solves this issue by giving both Chris and Jill personal motivations, and Capcom themselves gave Chris a personal motive in a pre-game storyline that isn't really canon but came with RE1 on Saturn.Those are>Chris has a friend who worked for Umbrella that went missing, and so he finds the mansion suspicious already (novel & Capcom)and>Jill is overly invested in the case due to knowing some of the victims (novel)This isn't in the games at all and is post-material so don't use this as a comeback. The point is simply that literally everyone else recognizes the whole idea of "just investigating" as a flat character motive in any narrative focused work (which video games are not).
>>744024142the thing was an adaptation of who goes there?this is a normal thing for horror movies
>>744023990I think they knew the mansion was there. The opening says "Bravo Team went to the hideout of the group and disappeared." Which is another cool detail that kind of gets glossed over. The zombies were attacking people and then going back home. The cops thought it was some kind of cannibal cult.
>>744015009Bautista is strange because he's a cool dude and on the better end for wrestler turned actor. Glad he's seeing some amount of success these days
>>744002117≥≥≥ Actually about video games! Ready to max high blaze it? You don't get a choice now! Welcome to the life you stole spam posting complaint slut! I'm you new best friend. Ooops on you.
>>744023385Any director worth his salt can do a one room movie anon. Youre fucking retarded that is too young to remember movies that weren't theme park rides
>>744002117Well gaming fandoms are fucking garbage toxic tranny faggots so idk what he said be I side with him. Movie looks cool. I literally don't even care about the lore, played almost every game in the series and the lore is gay other than the general concept of Umbrella and the various locations. Everything else sucks. Just make a movie that feels like playing RE.
>>744024261I'm not reading all that but the intro for the first game explicitly says there have been sightings of strange animals and people roaming around in the woods around the same time that campers and hikers started disappearing. Crows are just as aggressive as anything else, hence what happened to Forest Speyer (inb4 the set piece where they don't attack unless you fuck up the painting puzzle is used as evidence to the contrary as if it's not just for the sake of having a cool consequence to trying to brute force a puzzle). Animals aren't going to gravitate towards a mansion instead of roaming around the woods to the point of them all being attracted there instead of infesting the surrounding nature. STARS is still investigating the disappearance of Bravo team in the area and a weird unmarked mansions is obviously suspicious, and exploring the interior of the building is still a pretty solid plan instead of waiting until morning and trying to hike on foot to the nearest town or city.
>>744023592One member of the team gets split off during the chase through the mansion either Chris or Barry. Then they hear a nearby gunshot and Wesker engineers the further separation of the group. Wesker ropes Barry into helping him corral alpha team toward the real BOWs and in finding and killing Enrico who was on to him. There's never really an opportunity for them to group up with all their nicer gear and make a run for it. By the time that happens Brad's already waiting to pick them up at the helipad behind the mansion.
>>744024276Fuck off nigger
>>744024339I don't think they did, I think Bravo was investigating the rough area where some of the cannibals seemed to be concentrated, probably saw the mansion from their helicopter, landed to see what the hell was going on in there and got attacked.
>>744024594I can't even tell if this is bait at this point
wow a resident evil movie that isn't like the games no way!!!As long as it's actually a horror movie it will be better than literally every other RE live action attempt.
>>744024276Great now name an example of it being done well within the last 100 years
>>744002117Is this fat ugly boomer Jewish This reads like the same retarded goyslop that turned Wesker black
I watched the trailer I see a guy managing a cumbersome inventory then going into an eclectic home and rummaging thru the drawers. thats resident evil. I cannot follow whatever line of reasoning everyone fuming mad at this movie seems to be on. retarded gamers don't even know what an adaption is
Is the comment section being botted by real flesh and blood Indians?I feel that LLM chatbots would do a better job.
>>744024924hellraiser 1
>guy decides to adapt a popular game>ok that's fine>guy decides it won't be about specific game but it will take place during the events od a game just somewhere else>ok that's fine>"Akshually I am doing my own thing at a different time and date and it won't have anything to do with the game other than some Easter eggs"What's irritating me is you are seeing the Enredditfication of all self comments sections where they cheer this and shit on fans who are not happy about this. We just went through a Netflix show where they took a concept that had nothing to do with Resident Evil and slapped the Resident Evil name on it and we are doing this again and retarded redditors just suck the dicks of these corporate studios attacking anyone who doesn't think this is a good idea
>>744025295It happens on every YT vid. The bots (usually porn bots if you click the profile) copy a popular comment and then the bot network upvotes it.

>>744002117Trevor dying showed he really was the brains behind the operation.
The sheer amount of retards in here claiming you couldn't do an RE movie, spamming this reductive bullshit that RE has no story or that the most basic shared symbology means it IS RE and not a cheap pile of shit wearing it's skin like a suit is baffling. What the fuck happened to this board? Do any of you even LIKE videogames?
>>744025379it's not just the 1:1 copied commentslike 80% of the entries are about how this or that thing in trailer is total Resident Evil
>>744025278It's a mix of people wanting a retelling of a game story and people wanting characters they know (Leon) and people just shitposting because new thing to get mad about
>>744025619>cheap pile of shitthe resident evil 4 plot is a pile of shit
I don't trust this retard director because he wasn't upfront about this. If he was upfront about this I might let this slide but it almost comes off as he was withholding this because he knew it would piss people off
>>744025703Retards like you have ruined this board with your brainless one note meaningless shitposts you probably shat out from a fucking smartphone. I wish being an insufferable fuck was physically painful for you.
>>744025626yea but it is soyou knowcopefucking bitch, cant even talk back or make an argument
>>744023245I assume it's real. Is incredibly convoluted for an AI screenplay and has all of Cregger's worst writing habits. Not just that, it has a core, very stupid, reason for the name "Flood".
I understand you can't make a 1-1 RE 1 movie. I understand a director would have to take liberties, probably add new characters and new plot since RE 1 was razor thin. I was thinking about this and you could have like Umbrella Scientists trapped in a part of the mansion because if they try to leave the dogs try to kill them and they appear as normal people maybe you could have them claim to be like people who take care of the mansion and slowly you learn they are lying and you can have one of the scientists want to kill them and the other help them. Something like that. Doesn't have to be that but my point is I am aware a director would need to change things and I am ok with that but have a good director and a good writer do that. Let's try this one time so you can shut us up.>Welcome to Racoon City was thatNo it wasn't it was a godawful combining of two different gamesI saw a lot I did not like in the Romero script but at this point I wish we got it just to see how it would have panned out
>>744005730This is why reddit is defending this so hard and attacking people critical of it because of writing like this
>>744002714Still proves he knows more about survival horror that the guys that made the resident evil movies.
>>744006367Then why fucking call it Resident Evil if you are not making it about Resident Evil you stupid fuck?
>>744024786It's whatever you want it to be
