![[Update] Resident Evil: Begins [not]unveiled as a prequel photo](http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/197921-h2.jpg)
Resident Evil: Apocalypse had some of the best fan service with the addition of RE3 Jill.
Still, I'm midly interested for this.

I second the degeneration sequel. Also since Capcom doesn't seem to care, can I have a rpg spinoff? Turn based, weapon upgrades, zombies are perfect for random encounters, third person with a party. Please? Set in RC, please? F
We are getting a Degeneration sequel actually. And it looks pretty awesome. There was a brief trailer back in December-ish.
There is a sequel to Degeneration called Resident Evil: Damnation. It's set to come out in 2012. They had a teaser in the Resident Evil: Afterlife DVD.
Conflicted.
I love Jill Valentine, so my initial thought was OH HELL YES!
But then I read the story....what? Jill is trying to stop the virus from spreading before the Raccoon city incident? It makes no sense! STARS's Alpha team's first encounter with the virus was the mansion. The mission that Wesker betrayed them with...My blood is starting to boil.
Also, screw Milla...I hate her. why is SHE trying to take down Umbrella? SHE'S A NOBODY!
So confused.

Whoevers in charge and keeps thinkin its a good idea to make re movies related to the already existing re movies in any way needs to be tied to a chair and let every RE game fan just bitchslap them, over and over.
Either redo it, or leave it alone -_-, Milla could be Jill though. As a kid when I heard there was a movie comin out I was so excited to see jill and chris and them in the mansion, with hunters, tyrants, zombie crows and dogs, maybe even the giant snake.
I am disapointed.

Things like this are the reason why I will never become rich and famous in Hollywood. I have far too many good ideas for me to be taken seriously. EXAMPLE:
Don't f***ing make this movie. ANOTHER EXAMPLE: Get Kevin Costner the hell away from the Superman movie.

Sweet, I didn't know they were making Resident Evil: Damnation! I had looked up what Degeneration's director was doing, but he only supervised the live-action Gantz movie's special effects (the more you know!).
I'll still have a wank even if its shite ( thats how Ive got through all 4 of them to be honest ) ;)
It's been a while since I saw the first one, but wasn't Alice working for Umbrella during it? Why would she be trying to expose them before it takes place?
There are actually two ays they can crowbar this into the film's timeline: 1) What happens to Alice in the first film could easily be at the same time as the first game, though the original idea was that it was set before any of the games (before Capcom shafted the studio), or 2) Alice can't remember large periods of time and she looks rather different in RE2 than the first film, so she may have forgotten seeing Jill and Jill may just not recognise her.
Or it could indeed be the long-rumoured total reboot which sees them forget the existing films entirely.
As for it fitting into the game, they gave that up when Capcom screwed them over before the first film was even made. Blame Capcom for the alternative universe thing. But also, there are significant periods between the first incidents, the first game and then the full town outbreak. So this film could, within the game world, fit into either of those gaps, especially the second.
Of all the Resi films, this premise is actually the one least deserving of early complaints. Everything that has been confirmed (which actually is only that Sienna is returning as Jill for 'a' Resident Evil film) and everything that has been rumoured (absolutely everything else) can actually fit into both film and game canon. Or could be a fine reboot by itself (nobody can deny that Sienna's the highlight of the series to begin with). There's no reason to despair. Yet.

I've just stopped thinking these are RE related at all. I'll still watch this though because I'll take any excuse to watch Sienna Guillory run around in a movie. :P
Wait so this movie is set before all the movies, this movie is doing time travel, and according to one of the theory's, if you time travel it would be to a parallel universe of sorts, so in that case this movie is taking place in a parallel universe so whatever happens in RE Begins, will not affect what happens in afterlife, this is how it all makes sense. LOL anyways this movie is going to fail, the movie's have become so stupid they don't care if it makes sense, they just want money.
@Wrath and Pride
Yes and no. The movies are already in an alternative universe to the games. This film, or the premise for it at least, could plausibly fit into either the film's universe or the game's universe. Or, it could just be a complete reboot (which is rumoured to be happening to the games soon too, so that would tie in with the idea that a game would be made to go with it).

>reboot with 'Begins' as subtitle
>reboot and prequel at the same time (wut)
>using same actors in the same roles
>fucking up an already fucked up canon
>possible tie-in game-- aww hell nah
this is hurting my brain

Sounds stupid? yes, Sienna Guillory in classic Jill mini skirt and tube top cosplay again? damn worth it.
Seems retarded to jump into prequel when you have a cliffanger end for RE afterlife.
My guess is prequel then Back to story after afterlife.
As long I get Wesker again I'm good

I want to see the train wreck till the end, is so funny watch these movies on theater, i laugh so loud. Seriously, i actually find them really funny, like the last one where they put an AFRICAN zombie in the middle of city, with all that irons on the body and etc from RE5, that made no sense whatsoever. But i laugh, very hard.
I really can't believe that this series is so damned popular. And that they keep making MORE money per sequel is just mind-boggling.
What the fuck!? I thought this was an April Fool's joke! This is actually great news! I was getting sort of sick of Alice anyways. I love Resident Evil: Extinction, but the other 3 were pretty lackluster movies, especially Afterlife. Bring it on!
Also, I thought Degeneration sucked balls. And not in the good way. The only CGI RE movie worth watching outside of the games isn't even an actual movie. I'm talking about Biohazard 4D Executer.

If W.S. Anderson is NOT doing it (or gets kicked off), I might see it.
Jovovich being part of it makes me lean towards "it's not a reboot, and it will still be terrible", though.

do movie companies ever think to themselves
" Hmm how much have we spent on our resident evil franchise"
" about 150 million sir"
and how much did we make back
"about 90 million sir"
"hmm............. Lets make another one"
"yes sir"
it's stupid, either stop making them or do it right

..and up next! Half Life the movie! All the guns, gore and babes you remember! with THE ROCK as Freeman! Stomping on your memories some more on 6.6.2011.
Eh. I don't really care about how the movies interpret the franchises' canon seeing as - even from the very beginning - the films were never aligned with the games. They merely grabbed stuff from the RE universe and plugged it into an action movie.
i look forward to the Damnation movie than this. though Sienna Guillory is hot so i might reconsider. :P
@theOGB LMAO, I thought the same thing. When I saw the head line Resident evil reboot I thought. "Oh goody, maybe they fix this thing at last." than I read the article and thought. "wait...what...?"
Keep 'em coming. These movies aren't threatening to win every major category at the Oscars, but I think they're zany fun.
Did everyone happen to forget that there was more than one mansion around Raccoon City owned by the Umbrella Corporation, and even in the original games the outbreak didn't occur till a couple months after the mansion incident, due to U.C. going after Birkin who actually hasn't had an on-screen appearance yet, so there is still plenty of room for the movies to work with.
This is why the movie industry is dying a slow death. The first Resident Evil movie came out in 2002 and they're making a reboot already. Jeez Hollywood, couldn't you have waited at least a decade?
Not again, NOT AGAIN, I want this movie franchise to just end already! It misleads people who have never played the Resident Evil games before to assume what the series is like! One of my major dislikes of the Movie Franchise is the existence of Alice who shouldn't have even been made in the first place, and the movie franchise moving into Action Movie Territory! Ugh......I just can't stand this.
Also, it doesn't help that Alice was a main character for she is a terrible main character, and that is what I have to say on this matter besides my dislike for movies having to always have a prequel, even though they shouldn't.

@Crunkiss You're asking a little too much of most people. The majority of people either haven't actually played the early games or they've only played them as their remakes/rereleases and evidently didn't pay much attention to the story (probably because they're too busy post "BLARGH TANK CONTROLS AND PUZZLES" on forums). I do wish people would show a better understand of at least the basic RE plot but I don't expect people to know any details. "There used to be zombies, back in those crappy games" is the most that many people know. It's funny actually that so many people complain about the "stupid" Resident Evil films but actually Paul W S Anderson has shown time and time again that he knows far more about the series than the vast majority of gamers. He's still a talntless douche, but he's a talentless douche who knows his shit at least.
It's a shame because as far as I'm concerned (and I know a gigantic portion of the hardcore RE fanbase agrees) the old games were superior, but eh. Bullshit about FBI agents saving the president's daughter from mutant ogres and scoring headshots with laser sights is more popualr so that's the part that's stuck and the rest has gone forgotten.

fuck this shit. seriously, fuck it.
i've been loving the Resident Evil storyline starting from the first one and ending with Code Veronica. everything that came after that is just complete bullshit which ruined the franchise. sure, RE4 is a awesome game. but they could have done what they did to DMC - use a different concept to create a DIFFERENT FRANCHISE!
instead they decided to rape both the classic RE gameplay and complicated, yet intriguing storyline. all the characters got fucked: now everybody has to be either from the Matrix, a bodybuilder or a sexy chick in an absolutely retarded outfit. on top of that we started having this unbelievable bullshit in the movies. then the RE games started sucking off the RE movies by taking scenes from them, and vice versa, resulting in a weird, disgusting version of position 69 gone wrong.
even if it's true, it's too late to reboot the franchise. it's already been raped too many times by greedy idiots. you can say all you want about how this industry is created for making money, but shitting all over a form of art isn't a very noble way of filling your pocket.
fuck you, Anderson. fuck you, Capcom.

The best part about Flixist is that we don't have to suffer with Matt's terrible writing anymore here.
Does Resident Evil canon even matter anymore? While 4 was solid for it's ability to progress without being incoherent, even that plot made no damn sense in the end.
I'm calling bullshit.
Paul W. S. Anderson has to fuck up Resident Evil movies. It's what he does.
Also, Sienna Guillory = HOT.
