>Yes, this story is set up in a small nameless town away from civilization>No, there aren't any characters from any of the games>No, there aren't any references at all to the games>Okay, a couple of minor characters will be "Umbrella scientists #1 and 2#", happy?Here's that reboot I was telling you about, bro
GoodThe resident evil "story" is retarded faggot shit
Does it have to be called Resident Evil then?
atp they are using the name only for marketing purposes
>>220321864>Yes, all the characters are some variation of gay and or brown
>>220321864this movie is more akin to silent hill than resident evil tbqh
The name is so dumb. It's Biohazard in Japan. The only reason it's called Resident Evil is because the first game takes place in an evil zombie infested residence
>>220321864the game writing is schlocky 90s vidya shit that don't work well in a serious movie
I have adaptation discussion fatigue. Who the fuck cares? People would complain even if they made it directly adapt the games 1-to-1. Adaptations are all fucking pointless anyway. They have to slap an established IP onto things to get it made. When the original films came out, Capcom pretty much made them use OCs too to not take things away from the games.
>>220321864Cregger gonna go to director jail for this one. Calling it now.
>/tv/ mad they can't clap when they recognize somethingkek
>>220322004well resident evil sounds cooler you sperg
Zach Cregger? More like Black Negger
>>220321953Just use shorthand and say American
>>220321864Director said in an interview that it's set during RE2 in the other side of raccoon city but there's snow and the main character has an iphone in september 1998https://youtu.be/D_FMSyTWmA8?si=a1G5K7t0CLcOUezR&t=28
>>220322578Zach probably had a completely original zombie movie script and Sony said "okay we'll buy it but make it Resident Evil"
>>220321864Is this the case where they grab a random horror script and slap Resident Evil on it?
>>220322192>People would complain even if they made it directly adapt the games 1-to-1.They literally never do this, so how would you know?
hollyjews hate Asian IPs (out of jealousy) and will do their best to shit all over it
>>220322491Ok Muhammad Longshanks-El Shabaz
>From the director of Barbarian>...no, not Weapons, cause that was a piece of shit
>>220322635this, Sony will have to make an RE movie once in a while to maintain the rights
I DON'T CARE I JUST WANT BIO-DOME 2
Can modern American media even produce anything that isn't set up in New York or Los Angeles? Those are the people who produce media and they despise the rurals.
>>220322635>completely original zombie movie scriptNo such thing
>>220322088Yeah as if these movies are high works of art you fucking dishonest jewnigger. Fucking kill yourself shitskin brownoid
>>220322192Most of the best adaptations in the past played very fast and loose with the source material or even outright ignored it. The modern entertainment industry can't really make anything worth a shit though, adaptation or not.
>>220321864>finally gives the franchise to a competent director>director given license to do whatever he wants>gives the tired "I'm a real fan, I swear guise">makes an antiquated, derivative zombie movie this far outside of the 2000s>resident evil fans eating each other (no pun intended) because it's gonna be so good>claim that it doesn't need to follow the games or have the original characters as if the entire Alice saga didn't happen or the dogshit adaptation of the first two games in one movie (lol)>claim there's nothing wrong with exploring the greater universe as if the shitty CGI flicks from Nippon don't exist and are shit>anyone seriously interested in this movie thinking it won't be forgettable just like Welcome to Raccoon City and barely recoup enough to break even, if at allHow fucking hard is it to make a B movie faithful to the game? WHY DO THEY KEEP LETTING FAGGOTS PUT THEIR OWN MARK ON ESTABLISHED STORIES?I hope this kills Zach Cregger's credibility and downgrades him to a Blumhouse whore that makes shitty horror forever.
>>220322004That would be evil resident, its resident evil.
>>220326379>>makes an antiquated, derivative zombie movie this far outside of the 2000sThat's exactly what Resident Evil is though. Just reheated Romero slop.
>>220322192>NOOO STOP HATING MY NIGGER AND FAGGOT INFESTED REMAKE SLOP>YOU HAVE TO LOVE TRANNIES>YOU HAVE TO HATE WHITE PEOPLE AND WORSHIP NIGGERS>YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE /tv/ JANNIES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE DISCORD TRANNIES WHO RAPE KIDS>AHHHHH MY SCIENCE SAVE ME OBAMA
>>220321864yup sounds good
>>220327229>I don't want that evil in my residence t. my friend's dad not letting him buy RE4
>>220326379>How fucking hard is it to make a B movie faithful to the game? They made 6 nigga. Resident Evil Requiem literally picks up many plot points from the movie. Its practically a Paul Anderson movie.This will be the most resident evil movie ever, just as BIOHA7ARD is the most faithful title since Last Escape.This movie will have item management, ammo conservation (exact amount of ammo is a plot point in the movie), weapon acquisition, puzzle solving and actual map/level design. This will be like playing the fucking game. You literally wont be able to top this if they pull it right. It will be the movie most faithful to the experience of the videogame its based on. And frankly if I have to choose between being faithful to the experience of the game, rather than the stupid plot, I choose the first.
>>220321939>>220321938At this point I'm fully convinced that this isn't a Resident Evil movie, just a movie which happens to be named Resident Evil. Zach has enough goodwill from Barbarian and Weapons that I think applying the name "Resident Evil" is a net negative, since all it will do is invite criticism that it is too far removed from the games. His movies don't need the name brand boost at this point, just rename the thing.
>>220327625And if this is just another "we need to keep the rights," Zach is only hurting his brand by attaching himself to such a thing. To go from a critically acclaimed and very successful original horror movie to a movie that seems to be a rights-keeper situation seems like a huge downgrade and would signal that he's either a) a sellout, or b) struggling to find work (which I doubt).
>>220321864Is there gonna be a rave on an island?
Who cares? Resident Evil 4 is one of my all time favorite video games and I couldn't tell you jack shit about any of the characters or the story. Nobody cares about Resident Evil lore, just make a good movie about creepy shit. It's not like the original movies are any good and they probably stuck to the game lore more than this new one will.
>>220327711This is a major production. Ashcan movies don't have 80 million dollar budgets.
>>220327868>and I couldn't tell you jack shit about any of the characters or the story.that would just make you a retard if you couldn't describe the plot of the motivations of the characters in a piece of media that is your "favorite"it's not even like it's complicated, either
Why is House of the dead movie the only videogame adaptation full of tits?
>>220327868>I have to be dismissive of things I like because I'm terrified of being judged for them!
>>220327893in the past 20 years? yes, they do
>>220327919Because Uwe Boll is the only based maker of video game movies.
>>220322004All the games feature some kind of residence though because that's where the secret labs always are.
>>220322004No, it's called Doki Doki Panic in Japan.
>>220327868shhh the fake resident evil fans want you to be upset that the franchise is getting a tonally faithful adaptation after 20 paul anderson crap films, bad cgi slop, blakc wsker, and the indian leon movie
>/v/ermin sperging out about muh faithful Resident Evil adaptionYa love to see it.
>>220328105>tonally faithfulnice try, shillthis goes on the pile with black wesker and indian leon
Oh boy can't wait for another one of these adaptations that are just Resident Evil in name only. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF7BHfTe30Q
>>220328137At this point I don't care if they make a faithful RE movie or not, it just seems stupid to slap the name on something that clearly seems to be far removed from the games
>>220328151you go to gay nigga jail. youve never played any re game. you just want to join a hate train.
>>220328178why are you acting like RE is some kind of niche series, retard?
>>220328205why are you larping as a fan. did you watch barbarian? that movie was resident evil in all but name.
idk looks like Resident Evil to me
>>220328250what the fuck are you talking about? every generic movie with a big monster is "resident evil in all but name" ?you understand RE is not a serious franchise and never has been and it barely counts as horror and you're probably 10+ years younger than me, faggot, and you started with REmake 2 or whatever
>>220321864not resident evil
>>220322192This, it's impossible to appease retards and people that like to pretend to love the product. I am old enough to remember when RE1 movie was well received even with the "shitty ending", somewhat liked in the second and hated forward, old enough to remember that RE4 destroyed the resident evil community by bringin normies into the discussion, now that a director with good track record is outted as a "nu-new-fag"(basically he only played the new remakes, 7 and 8) of the franchise niggers like to pretend like its the end of the world. If the movie is at least a 7/10 is already better than anything made before, even better than the shitty CGI movies that only serves to bring old characters to kill their reputations for no reason (i.e Claire Redfield, Rebeca and Jill)
>>220328421>I'm old enough to remember when this series that was already massively popular got an audience of normiesget fucked, retardme an all my 9 year old friends were playing the first 3 games on the PS1
>>220328444>ps1 not so fast. No one called it the PS1 before there was a ps2. You are lying.
>>220328628Sorry, weird syntax ESL fuckhead, but people didn't automatically get PS2s delivered to their homes, I didn't get one until 2002, when I was 10
>>220322635So exactly what they did with the TodPhilips Joker movie
>>220321864the script is kino, the movie will be kino.the script is resident evil, the end is better than most of the shit resident evil has and way better than any of the shitty movies.resident evil apocolypse was the last movie I ever saw in theatres because it was so fucking bad I fell asleep and just never even went back.That was over a decade and a half ago.fuck you if you disagree with me, you're a dumb fag.
>>220328628We called it the Sony System.
>>220322192>People would complain even if they made it directly adapt the games 1-to-1What kind of retard cope is this? Books are faithfully adapted all the time and people love it. Project Hail Mary just came out and was very faithful to the source material. Readers of the book had nothing but praise for the film. The only real complaint was certain omissions, but that’s to be expected when turning a 450-page novel into a 2-hour movie.When have people ever complained about an adaptation being faithful? That's a very disingenuous thing to say. It just sounds like an excuse for Hollywood writers to disregard the source material and write their own thing instead.
>>220321864>let's take this story people love and we will insert our own character fans have no connection to and we will change parts of the story we don't understand to things the general audience will like and we will ignore entire character arcs and plot points to use our own script for an entirely different project that has been edited to fit this IP >what do you mean people aren't watching it?!?! I guess these games aren't as popular as we thought.why the fuck do movie studios keep doing this with video game adaptations and then acting shocked when it fails?
>>220324888most of the fags that raped you did it fast and left your ass loosewhat sort of stupid shit are you even saying? Adapt the source material or fuck off retard
>>220329219>when it failsResident Evil is the 3rd highest grossing horror franchise. Right behind Alien, both are far behind all the various Conjuring universe movies.
>>220329478>Adapt the source material or fuck off retardnah
>>220321864Resident Evil fan base is worst than Star Wars.>half is elist pricks who think their shit don't stink as its an aged franchise that has to constantly lean on a mid character (Leon) and they whine about the adaptations like they know a thing about movies/horror>other half is just a bunch of larpers who dress up as Ada Wong and watch walkthroughs only cause they're total pussies and feel like they get a say on how the franchise should operateThe movie is made by a man who knows how to craft both a movie with good storytelling devices and a horror that can lean on well paced tension. Weapons was a banger and you're idiot if you think this is going to be trash.
>>220326379Can't stop the Cregger.>is doing a ResiEvil movie his way despite what fanboy chuds cry about>has WB backing him for a Gladys prequel in a few years>WB has also backed his original film The Flood, which sounds greatI'm sure he'll get his DC script adapted once Gunn is forced to let fincial directors do things his instead of his weak timeline of things.
>>220328421>old enough to remember that RE4 destroyed the resident evil community by bringin normies into the discussionlmao they advertised RE2 and 3 in actual entertainment magazines normal people read and during primetime television shows
>>220322004true but the title biohazard makes even less sense for this movie.
>>220321864>instead of adapting the story and plot they adapt the mechanics and camera angleshow did no one do this before
>>220321864I'm all for this if it means avoiding adaptations like black Wesker and indian Leon
>>220327397RE7 is great until they get to the boat and the shitty ass Resident Evil plot gets going
>>220328250>did you watch barbarian? that movie was resident evil in all but name.What?
I've never seen a resident evil so I'm sure this will be great like Craig's other films
"It's not Resident Evil" as a complaint is funny because more than half of the games aren't Resident Evil. The fans doesn't know what Resident Evil is. Capcom themselves doesn't know what Resident Evil is. They've gone full schizo with the games trying to appeal to everyone. RE6 was critically panned while RE9 received the opposite despite being virtually the same thing. What Resident Evil is basically boils down to "thing I like" as they yell at other fans saying the exact same thing. When you ask someone "what is Resident Evil" you get 50 different answers.
>>220330825>The fans doesn't know what Resident Evil is. Capcom themselves doesn't know what Resident Evil is.SAARS
What if it's better to leave the original characters alone?
>>220322192name literally one game to movie adaptation that's 1 to 1. i triple dog dare you, disgusting tranny freak
>>220331003Mario 2.
>>220330825The only thing really consistent across the whole series are the healing herbs and I think even those were dropped from some of the games. Everything else varies wildly.
>>220331003I can't think of a single adaptation that's 1:1. Even highly acclaimed novels aren't directly adapted, let alone some paper thin video game slop.
>>220326379Brother there are plenty of RE movies that jangle the keys you want to see jangled in front of your face. Bad news is that they all suck in various ways. I give you that some of them suck so much ass they become entertaining to watch.
Barbarian already felt like an RE movie so I have faith.
>>220322004evil is the resident.>every game has building>inside building evil things live>building goes deeper and deeper and evil gets eviler and eviler>bad guy is always misguided human>is le metaphor for the evil that lives within us all>the evil resident>the resident evil
Capcom has already made reheated nachos from several older RE games. Why would anyone want reheated nachos in the form of a movie?
>>220321864This is all fine with the exception of the 4 actors I have seen
>>220321864we already had RE movies in the locations of the games with the games characters and they were dogshit
>>220328036RE2 does not. A secret biowarfare lab is a place of work, not of residence."I'm a resident of the local sawmill.""You live there?""No I work there, I'm a resident."
>>220333294You're in a city. It's a residential area
