The director of RESIDENT EVIL released some notes today discussing the video game inspiration for various scenes in the trailer. Thoughts?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJPu1spHqfk
Its gonna be so fucking bad and pretentious.
>>737960448>its not a run and gun action game
>>737960448ADVERTISING POST ABOUT A BAD MOVIE THAT NOBODY IS GOING TO WATCH
>Resident Evil Director Zach Cregger shares some of his favorite moments from the new teaser trailer, along with behind-the-scenes insights and details you might’ve missed. Check out his insights below.>0:01 - We see our lead character here walking with a pistol. This is the first weapon he acquires in the movie. Just like in the games, as he progresses through the world he’ll get better weapons. It’s such a fun moment when you’re playing RE and you finally get the shotgun or the machine gun and I wanted that sense of progression to be in the movie.>0:32 - I wanted this movie to tell the story of what would happen if some idiot like me were dropped into the world of a RE game. So Austin plays not some badass with combat experience like Leon but just an average dude. That makes his experience of moving through this hellscape way more interesting to me than somebody who’s psychologically equipped. >0:52 - Resource management! Just cause you found the shotgun doesn’t mean you get to go blasting your way to safety. I love how in the games you’re always very aware of how much ammo you have - and it’s never enough. In this movie we’re always keeping track of how many shots he’s got left. Pray and spray is not an option in the games and it won’t work in this movie either. >0:59 - Locks. Fuck locks. Navigating obstacles as you move through the games is a big part of the experience and it’s something that was really fun to integrate into the story.
>>737960448not watching itsimple as
>1:04 - What I really love about RE4 is that you aren’t trapped in a single location like the mansion or the police station but rather you’re moving through a larger world. In this movie our character is progressing from one location to the next and each new setting holds a unique threat. (You can also see that at this point he’s got his hands on an MP5)>1:08 - RE is of course a franchise that’s got a ton of zombies but it’s also got all sorts of weirder monstrosities. Really wanted to make sure that we never got a handle on what kind of dangers we’d find. It’s not just a zombie movie. The T-Virus can have a lot of different effects and I wanted to make sure we had a variety of adversaries.>1:25 - The slow discovery of horrific elements is something I really love about RE. It’s not a run and gun action game. It’s about tension and atmosphere and so I really wanted to lean into that. As much as there’s plenty of action in the movie it’s equally important to honor the dread. That moment when you look down a dark passage and you know something awful is waiting in that darkness for you. You don’t want to go forwards but you can’t go back. That’s the sweet spot.
>>737960448>male protagonist never can be competent or heroic>they always have to be idiots and losers>BUT female protagonist always have to be all powerful marysues who can do no wrong its is always the same aganeda every single time these days
>>737960448Wow, it actually looks like it might be competent.
>>737960692>>737960712>>737960809ironic shitposting is still shitposting
>>737960787It's not that he's not competent, he's just not some super skilled badass.Everyman hero is kino.
>>737960787must be hard being unable to watch a movie without it telling you that youre the coolest dude in the world
>>737960448Resident evil is such a simple concept and would be so easy to adapt into a movie series or a TV show but we always get fucked over when it comes to it, aside from the 3D animated short films. I think the most important thing ANYONE can do when they try to adapt a franchise into another medium is to at least understand why that franchise was popular in the first place. You don't have to be a fan of videogames to make a good adaptation, but you sure need to know why people liked it to begin with
>>737960448>Watch trailer after so many people hyped it up>It's literally just a generic monster/zombie movie that they slapped Resident Evil onto to sell ticketsIs it so hard to do an actual fucking Resident Evil movie that ISN'T ANIMATED!? Seriously, a fucking movie version of Outbreak would fucking be better than this shit man.
>>737960448the people have spoken, no Timmy Chalement as Leon Kennedy no buy
>>737961283>franchise into another medium is to at least understand why that franchise was popular in the first place.usually game franchise are popular because they are fun to play
>>737961302Genuine question: What should they have added to make it more Resident Evil?
>>737960809>>737960856uh oh jamboy shills mad that they are terrible at their jobs!
>>737961283Outbreak would be perfect for a RE film or series. Especially since it's literally the one game in the series they CAN take liberties with since only one character is confirmed to have survived the events, that being Alyssa.
>>737961546Leon and lickers
>>737961546go do your market research somewhere else trash
>>737961013>>737961271This, I don't mind an average guy. It's better than there secretly being some other ultra badass like the main cast that somehow nobody ever heard of until now.

>>737961546>Don't open on a farm in bum fuck nowhere >Urban environment >Zombie focus and not the monsters>Save the actual monsters for the trailer stinger instead of teasing throughout >Show some Umbrella logosThat's just off the top of my head.
>>737961809have you not played the games...?
>>737961387This reminds of how Bethesda treats Fallout like it’s a theme park with super mutants, deathclaws, nuka-cola and nothing more. This is the opposite though and it’s the fans that think Resident Evil is a theme park with stalking tyrants, lickers, pretty action stars and nothing more
>>737961809>Don't open on a farm in bum fuck nowhereRE4 and RE8 open on a farm in bum fuck nowhere>Urban environmentDid you watch the trailer?>Zombie focus and not the monstersDid you watch the trailer?>Save the actual monsters for the trailer stinger instead of teasing throughoutSubjective>Show some Umbrella logosThat's just fan service.
Can't they make a movie about the scientists working at Umbrella ? Maybe some action scenes at the end when the virus breaks out.
>>737961921Zombies were always the pivotal focus. Yes monsters and horrific mutants were a big thing, but the zombies should be front and centre at least at first to actually make the monster more of a big deal.

>By the director of Weapons Oh God noGenuinely how hard is it to make a Leon Kennedy movie?
>>737961387These people just want capeshit shared universe Horror Edition.
It's ironic that the OP has a bunch of reasons why this movie is inspired by the games, and I even copied and pasted it into posts for those who are unable to load images, and still people insist this has nothing to do with the games. Hilarious.
>>737962351Leon just got a fucking game. He's also the protagonist of most of the animated movies. Enough with the Leon wank.
>>737962351
>>737962460SARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR YOU SHOULD NOT WANT YOUR STORY TO BE ABOUT YOUR STORY SARRRRRRRRRRRRR DO NOT DESIRE IT SARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>737960698>>737960769>>737961283>>737961302>>737961546>>737962386So the directors idea of conveying videogame mechanics as a story element is... interesting. The problem is I don't think that's strong enough to carry a film. Again it's about characters. If the SETTING was a character this could work, interacting with an iconic setting would ground it in the universe and fans would immediately be into it. But they didn't pick an iconic setting. It's not in Raccoon city, or the mansion, or that island from Code Veronia, or rural spain. Nothing about the trailer conveys the setting as something recognisably 'resident evil', so the attempt to make the interactions with it a call back don't workResident Evil is the videogame about modern horror movies. When you make a film about that, without referencing any of the things unique to the videogame, it's just a modern horror movie. It has no identity. You're attempting to make a movie about a game about movies. You cannot convey 'gameplay' in a movie, that's not how movies work. Movies are not about gameplay, they are about characters. If the interaction with the setting is your hook, then the setting needs to be your character! If your work is an adaptation, then your setting needs to be recognizably from the source material being adapted!Even the first Resident Evil film with it's shitty alice OC did this right, perfectly conveying the 'sense' of the manor and being trapped in it while literally nothing else carried over.>>737962368>These people just want capeshit shared universe Horror Edition.that would unironically be more iconically resident evil than this.
>>737962481>redundantIT'S AN ADAPTATION YOU'RE RETELLING A STORY! THAT IS THE POINT! REDUNDANCY IS THE POINT! IT'S THE SAME MATERIAL FROM A NEW DIRECTION, A NEW MEDIA, SO YOU CAN LOOK AT IT DIFFERENTLY OR REACH A DIFFERENT AUDIENCE! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THEY ALWAYS DO THIS EVERY TIME NETFLIX AMAZON THIS CUNT EVERYONE NO ONE WANTS YOUR SHITTY OC STORY THEY UNIRONICALLY WANT THE SAME OLD FUCKING STORY THEY'VE ALREADY HEARD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>737961283>Resident evil is such a simple concept and would be so easy to adapt into a movie series or a TV show but we always get fucked over when it comes to it, aside from the 3D animated short films.It's a concept that's been done a billion times before and far better (if we're just comparing to the writing of the games). It's also shit nobody would care about. WTRC is the 'faithful adaptation', and nobody saw it. It wasn't even word of mouth that killed it, it was just that nobody was interested in a generic zombie outbreak movie. That was it.
>>737962653>IT'S AN ADAPTATIONSays who?
>>737962009Of the mainline titles, zombies have been in about half of them>RE1Zombies>RE2Zombies>RE3Zombie>RE4No zombies>RE5No zombies>RE6 Zombies on occasion, but primarily not zombies>RE7No zombies>RE8No zombies>RE9Zombies
>>737962009Zombies are the Goombas of Resident Evil. Only recently have Zombies really been given more attention and evolved to Zaku status, but RE 1 Zombies are jokes. The BoWs are the stars, Licker, Hunter, Cerberus and Tyrant are all iconic.
>Make first movie centered around the events of the second game while having the first and third game bleed in later (sorry the majority of non-gamers have to get invested asap and 2 is a better starting point)>Cast a sexy suave one-to-one lookalike as Leon Kennedy and put him in provocative scenes where he gets to show off why women flick their beans to him and do the same with Jill, making her covered in a sheen of sweat and ample cleavage and putting her in dangerous situations where she is getting chased by nemesis>Have the movie be 2/3 horror and 1/3 action with some funny but not awkward cheese>Go hard with body horror. Actual horror where nothing is censored>Have half the movie centered around zombies and the other half centered around actual BOWs. The games aren't centered around zombies as much as they are around bioweapons and parasites>Make it a requirement that every person making major decisions on the project has to play RE2 remake (yes, the remake. We are making money, not appealing to pedantic nerds)Boom, I fixed it
>>737962250>they didnt even get the fucking zombies/virus right!What the fuck does that even mean
>>737962653Nah, that's dumb, you're dumb. There's no way you are condensing even a Resident Evil game into a satisfying film that is less than three hours long if it's meant to be a direct adaptation of one of the games. It'll always be a lesser version that way.
>>737962771the executives who want my fucking money by slapping 'Resident Evil' on the title scroll
>>737962653>IT'S AN ADAPTATION YOU'RE RETELLING A STORY!It's not though
>>737962794>and do the same with Jill, making her covered in a sheen of sweat and ample cleavage and putting her in dangerous situations where she is getting chased by nemesistoo problematic for modern hollywood
i think it'll suck but i want to see it in imax
Looks good
>>737962794>>Make first movie centered around the events of the second game while having the first and third game bleed in later (sorry the majority of non-gamers have to get invested asap and 2 is a better starting point)They did that, it was called Welcome to Raccoon City, nobody watched it.
>>737962841It's a spin off, not an adaptation.
OP is a fag for making me think about a movie instead of posting video games. You could've posted anything and you chose to propagate Hollywood PR?
>>737960594This is still the stupidest thing in that entire movie, even though I do understand that the kids were "weapons" of the witch.
>>737962881If this is your definition of "did that" then I feel sorry for you
>>737962841It being called “Resident Evil” works to its detriment. I think Cregger wanted this franchise to have a good movie for once.
>>737962562>But they didn't pick an iconic settingIt's a midwest town in the middle of an outbreak. That's basically the most iconic resident evil setting you can think of. They didn't want to flanderize the brand by spamming DURR RACCOON CITY DURR UMBRELLAAlso, it's a teaser trailer. Maybe there will be subtle reveals later in the movie.

So when does this movie take place? 2010s to 2020s?
>>737961283Hes not a boomer. He obviously grew up with the games, we are getting to the point where up and coming directors dont view games as some weird toy that beneath them, anymore.

>>737962653Resident Evil has plenty of times told random side stories>>737962841Retard Resident Evil is the name of the franchise. There were thousand upon thousands of people when Raccon City went to shit.

>>737963176they are shills they will never listen to you their job is to pretend you never posted this and keep saying "I think it seems okay I'm going to give it a shot!". Just mock anyone who says they are going to see this cash grab and move on.

>>737963378The one set in *not*Serbia is awesome
>>737963176Resident evil “fans” are the only ones bitching while people who like horror movies in general are interested in it and think it looks good and trust Creggers track record. I genuinely think it would be better if it the movie didn’t have the RE stink on it
>>737963556kys shill
I said this in the last thread that 404’d, but I’m watching Weapons right now and it’s rattling me a lot more than the average Hollywood horror movie does these days. Good Lord, that witch is creepy.
>>737963597YES SARR IT IS MODERN MASTERPIECES SAR
>>737963556Nobody is going to watch a "zombie" movie that is about a loser crying because his cunt bitch girlfriend left him because he was too supportive of an abortion she said she wanted to get and told him she was going to get because he should've known to instead oppose her more even though she wants it. He dies in the end and thats it.Loser movie written about a loser, wow can't wait I'll be there opening day.Wait I won't because I'm not a fucking faggot.
>>737963345>>737963389>>737963429>>737963496>>737963520>>737963556I DON'T EVEN HATE ALMOND FLOUR, I JUST WANTED WHEAT FLOUR. I WANT THE GLUTEN. ALMOND FLOUR DOESN'T HAVE THE GLUTEN. IF YOU WANT TO SELL ME ALMOND FLOUR WHY NOT JUST CALL IT ALMOND FLOUR? IT'S BECAUSE YOU WANT MY WHEAT FLOUR MONEY, YOU KNOW THE DEMAND FOR WHEAT FLOUR IS HIGHER BUT YOU DON'T. WANT. TO MAKE. WHEAT FLOURI DON'T CARE IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE CELIAC, MY WHEAT FLOUR MONEY IS FOR WHEAT FLOUR. THE GUILD OF MILLERS USES ONLY THE FINEST GRAINS, TRUE ROMAN BREAD FOR TRUE ROMANS.

>>737963301Random side stories about a fucking loser crying about abortions and then dying? No they have not fucking done that one time, stop lying why do you faggots ALWAYS FUCKING LIE? Quit fucking lying for once in your god damn life holy fuck.
I am sick to death of nostalgia wank to the point where the idea of franchises are inherently starting to piss me off. If this movie will have to stand on its own legs as a horror film rather than shoving the game’s characters and the umbrella logo in our faces so audiences can clap like retarded seals, then that’s a good thing
>>737963862Ok so what would be called instead asshole, Loser Abortion Movie? Cursed franchise, shitty script, no one fucking cares. No one is excited. You're lying right now lol. All you can ever do is lie.

>>737963973Bioweapons?
Honestly I don't think RE could work as films, it's too loose and reliant on backstory to flesh it out. I think if you wanted a proper RE "adaptation", it'd be like this, I've autistically thought about this on some of the older forums back when TWD was new.>Season 1: Umbrella ConspiracyFirst two episodes are the slow start of the Arklay Incident. Open with the discover of the dead girls that lived next door to Jill while adapting Chris' story from The Book into canon (with his supposedly dead friend returning, and Chris getting hints to Umbrella, gives him more investment for the end). Also show Alpha and Bravo discussing the whole thing, get some banter in.The end of the second episode is when Bravo's chopper goes down and Alpha is sent in. Zero won't be adapted here (for reasons explained later, but ultimately, it's just not a good starting point).The main cast of the mansion incident will be broken into chunks like this.Chris gets separated running to the mansion and has to dive through a window, and soon meets up with Rebecca.Jill operates with Barry, but both groups will often split up. Richard will be a bit of a liaison that lets Chris and Jill know the others are active in the mansion. Adjacent to all of that is Wesker's own 'investigation', while Chris has to solve puzzles with Rebecca, he leads Jill and Barry along a set path resulting in Jill's imprisonment in the lab.No Rebirth for Wesker here either. Just RE1, ending with the mansion's destruction.>Season 2: City of the DeadJust pick up where RE2 starts establishing the time jump, and do a straight adaptation of all four scenarios mixed together a la the remake.>Side Series 1: Raccoon CityA season dedicated to adapting stories from Outbreak, ending on a two part episode adapting RE3.>Season 4: Code VeronicaA straight adaptation of CV, though with more flashbacks for Rodrigo and Steve (and here you would insert a loose adaptation of Rebirth when Chris and Wesker reunite).1/2
>>737964051Way to SLIP PAST THE FUCKING MOVIE ITSELF YOU ASSHOLEYou aren't going to watch this pile of shit, FUCK OFF
>>737964128>Side Series 1 Season 2More outbreak stories, this time ending with 4th Survivor and Death's Door (since Wesker has returned in S4).>Season 5: Umbrella's EndThe season opens with Wesker recounting the recent death of Ashford line, and reminiscing on a (loose) adaptation of RE Zero and Marcus' demise.The season is then about him laying the groundwork for Spencer's own downfall, feeding information to Chris and Jill's underground network and luring them to Russia so he can exploit the security breach they cause and steal the location of Spencer, but discovers it's heavily encrypted or something.The final episode is the Umbrella trials concluding (maybe use them as a framing device).>Side Series 2: A Folding UmbrellaAdapting Survivor 1, Dead Aim, and concluding with Operation Javier.>Season 6: The VillageFollowing on from Operation Javier, a straight adaptation of RE4, probably taking cues from the more serious remake iteration.Concludes with Wesker sending Spencer's location to Chris and Jill once again.>Season 7: AfricaSet years after the last season, starting in media-res with RE5, faithfully adapting it (though with a LiN adaptation squeezed into the middle, explaining Jill's absence. From here, the games and their timelines are pretty straightforward, so the show would look like this.>Side Series 3: Queen Zenobia (1 Season)>Season 8: World of Bio-Terror (RE6)Maybe adapt it so Leon E1 / Chris E2 / Jake E3 for the start, ending when all of them reach China.In China, it'd probably go with Jake (up until Chris mentions he killed Wesker) -> Chris (which concludes his and Jake's stories) -> Leon (to wrap up Ada's last). >Season 9: Phobos (Revelations 2 + Elements of Umbrella Corps)>Season 10: The Baker House Incident (RE7 -> NAH -> EOZ)>Season 11: The Ethan Winters Incident (RE8)>Season 12: Requiem (RE9)But you could really just rewrite RE6 and end the adaptation at S8, which is what I'd do.Maybe just do a full RC spinoff series, idk.

I thought REfags wouldn’t act this way considering RE7 but this is significantly more autistic than RE7’s lead up.

>>737964463>>737964469he's talking about the leaked script (unconfirmed) that reveals the 'twist' of the film. see >>737964461Supposedly there's a full script for it already leaked
>>737964463kill yourself shill
>>737964493Why do you feel compelled to not acknowledge the script to the movie? Go ahead. Talk about it. Tell me what's good about it. :)
>>737964519>>737964563If you get mad about it being called a clip, you're a LARPer who never even started playing the first game.
>>737964581Everything including what the character is wearing is from that script. This is such hilarious cope. You can literally see the shills trying to circumvent it. That script is 100% real and everyone knows it. They'll insult you but they won't point out anything good.
>>737964734these jamboys are fucking retarded lmao
>>737964734>>737964769I'm not them, I'm not saying it's NOT real. I'm just extremely wary of anything 'leaked' on 4chan. Only a fool believes, etc.
>>737964461I suppose he could've found an ammo clip and tried shoving it into the gun's magazine slot
>>737964769So what's good about the script? What's your favorite part?
>>737964581This script was uploaded in March so unless they made massive changes in one month this is it, everything in that trailer happens in it
>>737961283Why is it so hard to just adapt the games? Fuck it, you could just do the first one. >But the plot is too simpleThen add a 20 to 30 minute intro in the RPD with Chris and Jill dicking about with the rest of S.T.A.R.S, with a brief chat about their backstory's and how Bravo team is missing and that they got a lead in the mountains. That would add some pacing and it wouldn't even distract from the plot much.I do know shit directors tend to add their own plots onto an ip, RE is no expectation
>>737964836friendly fire dude I was saying the shills are jamboys of course the script is utter dogshit
Jensen Ackles as Leon in film in the style of the RE1 FMVs but a bit gooder
>>737960448it would be so funny if the movie did the same as the games and paints yellow arrows and yellow marks to indicate the characters where they are supposed to go
Reminder this film has absolutely nothing to do with Capcom. They sold the rights in the 90's. This is being produced by Constantin Film and Sony, who have held exclusive rights for 3 decades. Constantin Film has held the live-action rights since January 1997.This same company did Welcome to Raccoon City and the Monster Hunter movie. They're also making it with government money.>Plans for another Resident Evil reboot began in early 2022 following the critical and commercial failure of Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021) and the cancellation of the 2022 Netflix television series. The series' future had been in discussion since former Constantin chairman, Martin Moszkowicz, revealed the producers had plans for future installments and a new television series. By 2023, several outlets reported a grant of CA$2 million from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation for the production of a film titled Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, while Cregger was eyed by Sony Pictures in mid-2024. Pre-production officially began in January 2025, with Constantin Film co-producing a new film alongside Sony's PlayStation Productions, while Cregger would direct and co-write the script with Shay Hatten. Four studios, including Warner Bros. Pictures and Netflix, bid for distribution rights, with Sony Pictures Releasing's Columbia Pictures winning in March that same year. Filming began in October 2025 in Prague. >Filming began in October 2025 in Prague.>Resident Evil is scheduled to be released on September 18, 2026.
>A bunch of Sam Hyde paypig nugens can’t imagine what it’s like to watch a comedian parlay their career successfullyDire. Computer, boot up the vomit tapes.
>>737965471He already had a successful career you dipshit. You're the Hydetroon trying to occupy another thread/board because the mods permitted your shithole retard fishtank threads.Cregger has 2 successful movies under his belt post WKUK Hyde has fucking nothing but a dogshit reality tv show that is designed to be disgusting and repulsive. Tell that faggot in whatever forum you probably pay to simp in that he should try not being fucking disgusting and maybe he can make a real thing. Shut the fuck up and leave.
>These are the RE “fans” complaining
>>737965592I literally agree and my post was entirely earnest, anon. I am sorry the discussion has degraded to this point, but these threads have made me seriously reconsider my time on this site. Hyde is a literal nepobaby failson and likely sex pest, he gets his clout from namedropping constantly, a behavior he shares with the big J.E. I am making fun of Hydeboy paypiggies who keep funding actual fetish content and deluding themselves into thinking a game will ever be released by him.
>>737965679>it doesnt matter that the Resident Evil movie has nothing to do with Resident Evil, CHUD>I love my subversive basedboy masterpieces like Barbarian and Weapons!
>>737965168>>737965679>>737965785further investigation>Constantin acquires the rights in 1997>first film comes out 2002>no film has more than a 5 year gap after that>Retribution is 2012, Final Chapter is 2017, WTRC is 2021, next reboot is 2026>Film is churned out from pre-production to release in 1 year 9 monthsThey're IP parking. This movie literally just exists so they can sit on the Live Action film rights. This is also why Capcoms films have all been CGI. The Netflix Series? Constantin, but through a subsidiary. TV/Film are different things it gets weird.They needed to crank out a RE movie to hold their rights, snagged the director and told him "do whatever you want but we gotta call it this", took some govt gibs, shot in eastern europe. movie was filmed in prague beginning october 2025 and if they're showing trailers now that means they wrapped filming in 6~ months. This was done bootleg guerilla style so some german fucks could continue to IP park.Enjoy your corpo slop.
>>737965679The script sucks, all this creggar fag does is write awful dialogue and work in ways to kill as many kids as he can.There's basically no Resident Evil monsters either only a few zombies at the very end of the movie. Everything before that is tentacle monsters.
>>737965785>he was then hit with RE7
>>737965785How are they subversive, retard? Weapons is so straightforward they have the evil ugly witch be in fact truly evil with no sob story or special motive to seem somehow justified.
>>737965754Leaving just permits shills to take over the board. Fuck that it's not their board.
>>737966032notably conveyed the B movie spirit of resident evil, as well as the classic gameplay (which you cannot convey via film because they're two entirely different things), and still featured chris redfield at the end.
I'll go see it with my friend
>>737965785The story of Resident Evil is not the scary part of the game.>Wesker: Hrrm evil blood, global saturation, I dip some animals on evil blood to make them evil and fucked upNot fucking scary.>4 rounds and 3 zombies in a hallway, far from your last save with a key itemThis is the scary and stressful part. Getting your fucking face clawed off while you try to survive. If the movie can emulate that feeling, then it’s a win by definition, because virtually any rewrite is an improvement over the lore of the source material. For how much potential for conspiracy that universe of R.E. has, a lot of it just ends up being >I PUT THEM IN THE FUCKING EVIL GOOI play these games and I don’t give a shit about their established continuity, at all, it is utilitarian, facilitating the gameplay, which doesn’t exist in a movie.
>>737966101not my chris
>>737966189Turned Chris into white Jesus goddamn
>>737962773Technically, RE5 has some zombies but they are failed progenitor strain test subjects in the conveyor belt in the lab level and are more environmental hazards than enemies.
>>737966070This site has never been “ours”, though you would have thought it was, by the fact that we generate the posts the site needs to run ads to make money. That’s true of any really any forum, you just need to learn the etiquette to blend in, which none of these kids have, so they culture has just entirely degenerated into just being “the angry place” now.
So what is the location? Raccoon city didn't have snow during it.
>>737966167Except a movie cannot convey gameplay, by definition. A videogame is carried by it's gameplay, that is the direct interaction of the user with the media and whatever is conjured in the theory of the mind.A film is carried by it's plot and characters. This is the 'content' of a film. Hollowly imitating resident evils tone in a film does nothing, because resident evil's tone is itself imitating horror film. You reflect back to the original media-form and the 'twist' is lost. You are just watching another horror film, which becomes GENERIC. Resident Evil's identity is HORROR FILM BUT YOU PLAY IT.You NEED this continuity or it's not an adaptation, it's just a name sewn into the film. If it's not an adaptation, sewing the name onto the film is disingenuous.All of this is presuming that this film carries the tone of resident evil, which I don't think it even does. The director talks a bunch of shit about emulating horror games and item economy and progression, but nothing about this trailer conveys that. It's cut purely as a generic horror film media trailer. There is nothing here. It is hollow. It is empty. It is a void.
>>737962814Not him but theyve done shit like have the R5 Axecutioner who is a plaga infected dude be presented as a T Virus bow.
>>737966460Script says there is a visit to RCPD. Not a lot on exact continuity though, if you are big on that.
>>737962840You could do it with RE3R, that game is like 3 hours long anywayKek
>>737966592>>737962840Resident Evil 2 could easily be a movie. You'd probably even need to trim shit.
>>737966460It is Raccoon city and it's an alt verse where this outbreak only takes two hours to get as bad as what's shown. There's no virus name drop either so it's not even really the T-virus.
>>737964706Whay if I got mad when they said clip there also
>>737960448he understands RE better than 99% of the "fans" who make daily threads about inane crap like "who did leon marry??" or "what was umbrella's tax policy" and thus rightfully it angers them.
>>737966189No, that is NOT Solid Chris!
>>737966534That’s a lot of waffling to say you just want to see the bad story of the games adapted, you can just say the evil blood shit is cool to you and I would literally take that. What I’m gonna go out on a limb and say here is that Resident Evil 7 did similar things in casting off its original identity before selecting usable portions of plot to integrate into the story as DLC disconnected from the base game’s experience, and it was the better for that choice, infinitely so. So my question is, what is your cutoff point in terms of lore that you consider usable, like in a timeline.
>>737966756You just outed yourself as a poser because clip is the name of the item itself. Nobody in the game says it but you're gonna see it about a hundred times across a single playthrough.
>>737966776LMAO THIS SHILL TALKING POINT AGAIN>HE IS THE BIGGEST FAN OF THE FRANCHISE IN HOLLYWOOD HE UNDERSTANDS IT WE CAN TRUST HIM GOYIM YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT HE IS ONE OF US TRUST ME GOYIMKILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YOURSELF MORON
>>7379604480:32 I think the average dude who isn't a combat expert was done in Resident Evil 7. The Silent Hill games do the same, so do Fatal Frame0:52 Easier to conserve ammo if you use the knife like in the older Resident Evil games or in RE4. You can conserve ammo by running to one side of the area and lead the zombies to your position and then run around them to get to the other side of the room.1:08 "variety of adversaries" except we already had the morbidly obese bald headed guy in Blade, Dawn of the Dawn Remake(the overweight woman who turns), The Whale, Star Wars and the Dune movies. Hopefully the fat zombie ends up falling on the protagonist.1:25 Has he seen the speedruns of Resident Evil 4(the original one)Yeah screw this. I'm going to go watch Daredevil or a Batman movie. Oh wait, nevermind.
>>737963795Stfu schizo, it's gonna have zombies, tyrants and novistators so it's objectively RE
>>737965679>you can't just make all new characters and a story and slap the resident evil name on itIsn't that what most resident evil entries have done? I'd say that's more the rule than the exception.
>>737967080kill yourself shill
>>737966859what is this schizo talking about "evil blood" https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/text/%22evil%20blood%22/
>>737960448it already sounds like shit
Everyone in the thread write your HC for what this movie will be and go play an RE game and you will be happier. See this shit or don’t. These fucking threads have been awful today.
>>737967219>accuses him of having the jewish disorder caused by inbreeding>doesn't accuse him of being a liar
>>737967305meds
>>737967219Like 80% of the plot of these games is literally a guy doing fucked up evil experiments with infected toxic blood. Like the blood is evil bro. Using it to make the Residents Evil.
>>737966859Again RE7 comes up and again I point to the sign:>>737966101>notably conveyed the B movie spirit of resident evil, as well as the classic gameplay (which you cannot convey via film because they're two entirely different things), and still featured chris redfield at the end.Furthermore, there actually WAS quite a bit of outrage ahead of time leading up to RE7 because it seemingly divorced itself completely from the series history. After the game launched, numerous tie in points to the OG series appeared in the plot - it was also itself marketed as something of a reboot of the mainline RE identity to recover from the spectacle of RE6 (hence the callback in the title, BIOHAZARD)This is an adaptation. Adaptations cannot reboot series, they can adapt their source material. Unless you're 'adapting' the original 'adaptation' from the 2000's, in which case how many multiple levels of adaptation do we need to exist on?>>737967080Where? Where are the tyrants? Where are the classic RE monsters? Something, anything. A CRUMB of pussy here. Why wouldn't that be in the teaser trailer meant to hype up and tease Resident Evil fans about a Resident Evil movie? None of it is there. Because they aren't marketing it to Resident Evil fans, they're marketing it to everyone else. They're just calling it Resident Evil so they can hold the IP and trick people into going into theaters. They have no regard for the supposedly built in audience. The complete disregard of which shows the intent.>why can't you just give it the benefit of the doubt it will show itself to actually tie into the source material like RE7 didPattern recognition.
The cript got leaked btw just so you guys know:https://www.scribd.com/document/1011210193/RESIDENT-EVIL-Zach-Creggers-Shay-HattinI don't think it's that bad desu.Fluctuates between 7.8/10 and an 8.4/10 for me
Capcumguzzlers will LITERALLY defend anything their shitty company does.
>>737963910So why watch something based on a known IP, faggot?
>>737966061>dude the movie is named weapons but like...the children are used as weapons...>I fucking LOVE nu horror...>I would never watch any PROBLEMATIC slashers from the 80s! boobies bad!
>>737967492So didn’t RE7 just show then that you can still invoke the spirit without having to be one to one? I’m lost.
>>737967549>Reminder this film has absolutely nothing to do with Capcom>>737965168
>>737967531Apparently it's been leaked for almost two months now.
>>737962653No, fuck off. I rather have the events of the games seen by regular joes perspective, than "retelling a story" from the games. "Retellings" always sucks.There's a reason why that live action trailer for RE9 worked, because it was about a regular joe having to survive during the events of RC outbreak, and not around characters we can see in the games. This way it can also fit in the canon of the series as a whole.
>>737967492>This is an adaptation.No it's not. We've already discussed this.
>>737967587Take your straw and shove it up your ass, faggot.
>>737967645>I rather have the events of the games seen by regular joes perspectiveYoure gonna be disappointed then, the movie takes place in some bullshit AU with no T-virus, no BOWs, just zombie tentacle monsters that fuse together and snowy Raccoon City. And a totally epic "RCPD" reference that will make the audience JIZZ their PANTS
>>737967334>starts projecting even harder about his conditionkekkkkkkkkk
>>737967593Apples and Oranges. A film is an adaptation, it has to adapt that is it's purpose. The game is the original media. CreatorsOtherwise they would just say 'SET IN THE RESIDENT EVIL UNIVERSE'. In fact if they called it literally anything else and just tag lined it A RESIDENT EVIL FILM that would be infinitely better.>>737967678>No it's not. We've already discussed this.IT HAS TO ADAPT. THAT IS THE POINT OF MAKING A FILM AND CALLING IT 'RESIDENT EVIL'. THE TITLE SETS THE EXPECTATION. THEY LITERALLY ONLY HAVE THE RIGHTS TO 'ADAPTING' THE SOURCE MATERIAL TO FILM.They title it 'Resident Evil' but it's not actually an adaptation, that is willfully deceptive. That is manipulating the audience.
>>737960448I watched Barbarian and Weapons and both movies were interesting until halfway through where they just become comediesThat was probably his best decision since he's extremely popular now
>>737967803>THAT IS THE POINT OF MAKING A FILM AND CALLING IT 'RESIDENT EVIL'It's fine, it's adapting the previous films, not the games.
>>737967891I think I'll prefer this because the narrative is linearThe narrative jump arounds of Barbarian and Weapons add nothing to either movie and just feel like mommy I'm a director things
>>737967803>A film is an adaptation, it has to adapt that is it's purpose.Says who?
>>737967492>adaptationit’s not? It’s not adapting any of the games it’s telling its own story within the RE universe
>>737960448Disconnecting the plot of your movie from the game but setting it in the same world is probably the only good way to make a video game movie. That way you can remain faithful to the original game without compromising any of the elements that make up the original story. You don't have to see some faggot trying to be Leon on the big screen or anything like that. He's never going to be perfect. You can also tell a genuine story without retreading the original game but worse. You also avoid breaking the versimilitude of the setting and presentation by not putting existing characters in a situation that never occurred in the games, or explicitly stating it to be non-canon or an alternate universe.
>>737967682mad
>>737967803I just personally think if this movie casts off its lore and more attempts to emulate the vignettes which inspired the original, I’d be okay with that, and that seems to be the director’s specialty. Mansion imagery, hospitals, labs, decrepit city streets, and of course a fucking lab, gotta have that. that sort of thing. I feel that setting does a lot of underspoken heavy lifting in these franchises, and if I can get a feel from the movie of forging through domestic gauntlets of the undead followed by a segue into mad science would be very nice. What I’m saying is, there is a lot that you can take from these games that simply is not just the actual lore. So long as the meta-humor isn’t overdone or poorly timed, which Barbarian handles pretty well. I’m probably gonna see it, but I’m not marking my calendar for this or anything.
>>737964167I will see it seven times to spite you, specifically.
>>737967000>>737960448https://youtu.be/ST262ZbNcosSpeaking of morbidly obese zombies, when do we go back to the gymchud zombies? After I get back to working out, losing weight and being a toxic jerkass to everyone, everyday?Maybe after my foot gets better and I can go walking, then working out again. Also got to go back to reading, so I can be a snarky jerkass to everyone.
>>737968563You're going to spend $70 worth of movie tickets to see this movie?
>>737968638He’s not gonna see matinees, brother, kick that hatred up a little more.
>>737968045>>737968096>>737968294Then calling it Resident Evil is ultimately deceptive.>>737963176
>>737968772But it's not? Once again, this entire thread talks about the inspirations from the game in the movie. It sounds like you're more cut out for the Fallout tv show.
>>737968772It's set during Resident Evil 2. It's more of a Resident Evil movie than the Paul Anderson ones.
>>737968841>Call the film 'Resident Evil'>it's not an adaptation of Resident Evil>but we want to call it resident evil, so we can get peoples MONEY>>737968894SET DURING RESIDENT EVIL 2 WHERE?
>>737968926yeah you're just retarded.
>>737968926We don't know nigga but considering that there's a bunch of fucking zombies and monsters, probably near Raccoon City.
>>737968894>No its not.>That's for Twitter to figure out!
>>737968729If he pirates the movies, than he helps make sure the movie fails.
>>737968926Nigga I'm not sure what point you're even arguing anymore. Was Warcraft 3 an "adaptation" of Warcraft 2? It wasn't the same story. It was the same setting with new characters. Just like this fucking movie is going to be. Same setting, new characters, new plot elements. You're acting like it has to be a 1:1 rehash.
>>737966883Said doesn't necessarily mean spoken. I can say "it says clip" in your image and that's normal
>>737961809>>Show some Umbrella logosPW Anderson's got you covered right there, pal!
>>737969310Starting to imagine you like throwing around "said" inappropriately because your name is Said.
>>737969252Because retards are calling it ana adaptation and its not that, its not adapting anything its making fanfiction
lol
>>737968990why is it snowing then?
>>737968353no you queer, its not, stop defending this slop
>>737969519Good.
>>737960448I'm not touching anything made by that faggot, he killed Trevor moore
Fucking kek
>>737960448nothing about this is resident evil. not the even the music. it all reeks of generic horror movie with resident evil slapped on the title
>>737969709This is an it’s always sunny in Philadelphia bit
>>737963093>They didn't want to flanderize the brand by spamming DURR RACCOON CITY DURR UMBRELLA>set it during re2dumb faggot>i-i-it's a teaser trailer!!!raped faggot
>>737969665if you are a faggot, sure i guess, more power to you
>>737969681too much alcohol and gravity killed trevor moore
>>737967531it has been out for months now and its shit
>>737969867and zach pushing him to his death too but that fat fuck doesn't want you to know that
0:25-1:10 sound like pages 72 and 73 of the leaked script, though in the script he's leaving a voicemail on his phone whereas the teaser trailer shows him making the call on a landline phone instead. Also while the dialogue hits several similar points, it's delivered differently in the teaser trailer.
>>737969709Resident Evil was always about abortions.
>>737970183Timestamps are from the teaser trailer, forgot to say.
>>737961283>aside from the 3D animated short films.Those are laughable
>>737967645>i rather have diarrhea than shitwow, so bold of you anon im sure you have your lips sealed around zach's asshole right now
>>737963301and you have been raped plenty of times before, what is your point fag? the movie looks like shit and might as well have any name but resident evil
>>737970243>>737970183nobody cares zach, shove it up your ass
>>737969867whatever you say zach, hope it was worth it ya piece of shit
resident evil tards acting like theyre not playing the most mainstream franchise in the world itt
>>737965168>>737965982The first thing i checked when i saw the trailer was if capcom's trademark was anywhere to be seen and it isnt so I believe this. Its just an unrelated script for a horror flick to tie to RE.The movie doesnt look awful at least.
>>737970625you tell em xis!
>>737970625i have played almost every re released, even the game boy color one and i dont understand the autism here as if RE was ever high art.
>>737970859No one here is treating it like high art. They're (accurately) laughing at the fact that it's about a loser and his gf aborting a fucking baby.
>>737970859>was ever high art.nobody is doing that you stupid shill, the trailer was shit and getting rightfully ripped apart for being shit
>>737962653>>737961387These people are so fucking retarded and why we can't have anything else. I don't want the fucking game's story retold to me. Make cool canon side-stories in the actual universe, maybe reference them in the games. Then you can do cross references. That's unironically the next M Shee U
>RCPD
>>737972191Hes such a fucking normie retard he thinks people are going to clap like seals to this
>>737961283>ANYONE can do when they try to adapt a franchise into another mediumResident evil started as a spiritual successor of Sweet Home in the first place
>>737972398and that alone gives jewish people the right our money no matter how bad their movies are, am I right sisters?????????
>>737971332It's getting praised everywhere tho
