definitely not

>>223190969
It won't flop For me...

>>223190969
Hopefully they completely ignored resident evil fans.

Erm...CREGGERSE?

>>223190969
> it's gonna flop, isn't it.
Just like the Odyssey

>>223190969
No. It will do well, and the punchable dork will receive even more praise for his mediocre shit.

>>223190969
What is he apologizing for?

>>223190969
>post-production complete
>marketing is in full-swing
>your director, for some inexplicable reason, begins to explosive-diarrhea on the established fanbase and essentially tells them not to bother watching the movie
if you're one of the producers, what the FUCK do you do?

>>223192041
Making a shitty cash grab for a recognized IP but nothing having to do with it.

>>223190969
I believe thirty years from now it'll forever be remembered as "yeah alright comparatively speaking"

Why does gen z have literal zero standards? Why must they feel they have to defend everything from criticism? It's exhausting

>>223190969
Creggers having no knowledge of the game monsters was not a good sign.
Sounds like generic zombie slopps

>>223192054
Stay quiet unless I want Cregger to hit me with black magics.
>>223192594
What the fuck are you talking about? Cregger is a millennial. What do zoomers have to do with this?

>>223192041
he's apologizing for thinking RE fandom wouldn't have so many braindead autismos uninterested in watching a good movie

Trevor is dead and gone and no amount of shitty wanna be "elevated horror" hack pieces will ever remove the sins from Zachs soul for that

>>223191105
Of course they did. This is a horror movie script they slapped Resident Evil's name on

>>223190969
It's going to be a nice horror film regardless of how much RE fanboys seethe about it not being an exact game cosplay

>>223193149
>It's going to be a nice horror film
Why the fuck are you so optimistic? This dude has directed nothing but trash and the leaked script is ASS

>>223193041
It might not suck then.

>>223193041
repeating this over and over doesn't make it true, he already explained how he pitched a RE movie to Constantin

>>223193245
He thinks there are tons of horror movies like this. There really aren't. At least not with budgets over $5000. If this was generic then that would mean horror is doing a lot better than it is.

>>223190969
Did they really give 20M for directing a resident evil movie

>>223193041
No you don't understand, the main character reloads his weapon!

>>223190969
Resident Evil 2 is literally just a James Cameron movie that never got made. It is 1:1 exactly the kind of story he would write. How fucking hard is it to make a real movie out of it? How do they struggle making good Resident Evil movies so much?

I'll watch it just because it sounds like they mainly used practical effects. The stoner dude nearly got flattened with a giant bloodbag in that scene from the trailer.

It will probably do well, because the older movies did well thanks to an audience that had never played the games. All they need to do is slap "By the Director of Weapons" on it and people will go see it.

>>223193387
>slap "By the Director of Weapons" on it and people will go see it.
Sad.

>>223192041
Sacrificing Trevor Moore to Moloch

>>223192054
It's very strange. The main actor seems to be hostile in most of the press junkets I've seen him do. Hostile in the sense that he looks like he doesn't want to be there.

>>223190969
>>No hype
it's me, i'm the guy who's hype.
i'll be watching it and enjoying while you chuds seethe about how it's flopping as it makes multiple times the budget back.

>>223193595
oh there you are! Can you *please* get out there and spread yourself around. We're drowning here.

>>223193012
Did anyone with balls ask him about Trevor on AMA?

>>223193665
If they did it was shoah'd

>>223190969
>Creggers doing damage control and apologies
KEK, already?

>>223193686
Weeks ago. He basically admitted to never playing a RE and being a total secondary trying to slap the name on a "new generation" or movies (that won't get funded)

Internation presales seem very soft outside of Cregger strongholds like the UK. US presales are solid but potentially front-loaded.

>>223190969
>$80 million budget
higher than I expected, but low enough that it will probably make some money

All they needed was to have the main character be Leon, played by a good looking actor, and women would have flocked to watch it.

ftfy

>>223193376
Because they are either faggy artistes like Romero and this guy who want to use the IP to do their own thing, or they're cucks like the last guy or simps like Paul Anderson who just wanted to build a franchise around his flat-chested mid wife.

>>223190969
I don't even give a fuck about RE at all but I have no fucking clue why Cregger keeps saying all this dumbass shit before the movie even comes out. It's kind of nice that he is trying to be honest, but god damn just let the blind slop enjoyers stay blind and get your free paycheck.
It's like the Supergirl actress that started talking shit on people before the movie was getting much bad press at all. I used to think PR teams were a scam, but no, these people really fucking need them.

>See the Resident Evil movies and think they are just action slop shit
>Make a Resident Evil movie that's just horo slop shit
>People get mad at it just being slop shit
>"WOAH THE FANS ARE ANGRY THAT I MADE A RESIDENT EVIL MOVIE SCARY OOOOH WHAT A BUNCH OF NERDS"

Kill these jews

Calling it now 2 billies

>>223190969
If it’s exceptionally good (not likely) it will do very well, it’ll probably just do ok but be considered a flop relative to its IP.

It would have been better if the main character was a cute slacker girl and she turns into a hot monster girl at the end and eats everyone.

I have zero faith that this is going to be a movie anyone thinks about a year from now.

>>223192041
for doing standalone story in re universe instead of the one with leon, for putting too many jokes, for not listening to fans and thinking he knows better etc his recent press statements are ridiculous desu

>>223191938
Detractors were right. Anyone who have seen it went for Nolan, not for the bad movie
And please don't act like anything else don't flop now

>>223190969
>it's gonna flop, isn't it
All I know is that if you use an IP I expect the content t be the IP. If it's your og shit it's automatically bad and will never watch
that's all

I don't see the big deal in making a Resident Evil movie that's about some random guy who is caught up in what's happening. It probably won't be good but neither were any of the other Resident Evil movies, which were even less like the games, so who gives a fuck?

>everyone says it looks like it could be cool
>just confused why it’s called resident evil

UM SWEATY RESIDENT EVIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY STUPID AND THE FANS ARE GOING TO GATEKEEP THE ONE GOOD MOVIE WE WILL EVER GET. AND ITS NOT ABOUT ACTUALLY ADAPTING ANYTHING AND IF YOU WANT THAT YOU SHOULD JUST PLAY THE GAMES AND IT DOESNT MATTER IF ITS FIRST PERSON SINCE RE7 WAS AND AND AND

Early reactions to Zach Cregger's Resident Evil are horrifyingly good. This is such a win for RE fans.

>>223200126
No, the other films are tonally very like the games, have an underlying sensibility of bombast and heroism very much like the games. This movie is just completely unlike the games in any way.

>>223199566
>for putting too many jokes
This is really all i care about. I dont like movies that cannot make up their mind as to what sort of mood they're going for. I dont think comedic relief is really necessary

I hope this scene is in it.

>>223193304
>He thinks there are tons of horror movies like this
You think there isn't a lot of movies about a generic zombie outbreak in a modern city? There's an entire show with like 300 episodes in it

>>223190969
>make a resident evil game
>turn it into unrelated generic horror movie

why?
its the opposite of the nonsensical lazy RE adaptation we got before
its john romeo + pharma conspiracy stuff, its not that fucking hard
every game always boils down to some special agent/cop uncovering what umbrella or other similarly shady medical corporations do behind the doors and how it explodes in their face

>a horror movie released in October
>looks above average for a horror movie (it's not a high bar)
>name recognition from people who know that Resident Evil is a zombie thing
It'll do fine

>>223190969
I've been a Resident Evil fan from the very beginning and I'm 36, but fuck it I think I'm gonna see this. Like who cares. I've played literally every one of them except for 7 and 8 but why bother complaining that it's not a traditional Res thing, I'd just like to see what he does with it.

>>223201031
the show felt like pure nonsense, and i mean literally, there is almost no scene to scene continuity with time/location/lead jumps done at random
and i know Andrew Dabb is a woke far left lunatic who ran supernatural into the ground, but fuck me, the endless plotholes, continuity mistakes and retarded scenes had to be done out od spite, no way they missed it during production

>>223192960
the thing about nerds is they would rather watch a mediocre movie that's "accurate" than a good movie that isn't.
They've always been like this. People pissed and moaned about the Sam Raimi Spiderman movies for years.
It is actually a fair observation to say that they don't really understand art or storytelling on any level. They understand trivia.

>>223200132
It's not in first person. What are you even talking about?

>>223201998
It has cliched first person camera angles in some scenes like Barbarian or the 2005 Doom film but less cool.

You can tell that Cregger never played any of the fixed camera games.

>>223193245
>he already explained how he pitched a RE movie to Constantin
That was Paul Anderson.

The movie's about abortion and the main guy even tells his GF it's her body, her choice concerning her pregnancy.

>Makes a movie that doesn't try to piggyback on a franchises name for it to become a categorical success
>Does the exact opposite for his next movie
What was the plan?

>>223192041
For trying to scam his customers.

>>223202274
well the movie is clearly something of a fusion of RE2 and the newer games. The main character being a gibbering normie is very Ethan.

Anyone seen it yet?
Hows the beasties?
