Man, you can almost taste the excitement. There is going to be another live-action Resident Evil movie, and Paul W.S. Anderson is "probably" going to write it! Can I hear you say Ho? Now Ho, Ho! Now Ho, Ho, Ho.
NOW SCREAM!
That's right folks, according in an interview with the Sunday Sun (the newspaper? The celestial being?) Paul W.S. Anderson is "...writing an adaptation of the LONG GOOD FRIDAY right now, set in present-day Miami. Then I will probably write Resident Evil 4."
The man is clearly on fire. Although he put the Long Good Friday in all caps (meaning excitement), he put Resident Evil 4 in italics (meaning professional excitement). With this information alone, I'm already willing to bet that Resident Evil 4 will be the greatest movie in the series, and by default become the greatest movie of all time. Hey, Resident Evil: Extinction couldn't hold the title forever.

Thanks

I for one always hope these movies will be great and not suck, and of coarse my hopes get snuffed out like a fat person blowing candles out on a cake that ceases to exist moments after.
Sounds awesome, huh? It's like everything you love about RE wrapped into one movie, except with less of everything that you love about RE, and more of the crap you could give a rats ass about.
@ Everyone else- Funk Dat
Actually, the first Resident Evil movie wasn't bad. I, too, thought it was decent. I didn't like the fact that it wasn't actually based off the the games, but I did like the fact that the first one was set up in a way that it did not interfere with the storyline of the games in anyway. The first movie could have easily been turned into a canon story arch in the Resident Evil video games. So in that sense, I thought it was actually good.
However, after that it went down hill and completely destroyed that possibility. Alice was interacting with Jill, Carlos became a close ally to Alice as opposed to Jill, no Clair until the third movie and she's completely unlike her video game counter part, no Chris Redfield at all nor mention of him. Also, Wesker was a chubby faced cooperate/business suit wearing schmuck and not the cheesy bad ass that he's supposed to be. Nemesis was the best part of the movie on account of how awesome he looked, though it sucked that he didn't have his tentacles nor did he ever really run as far as I can remember. Plus, they did the typical thing a movie would do and have him turn good before his death, lame.
Plus it pays enough homage, that other zombie related films actually learn from.
I admit I'm actually curious where they can go next, especially after Extinction.
I had a big post written out, but who cares.
The RE films remains the only trilogy of films that I hated right from the start and yet I saw all of them in theater, I still haven't forgiven my brother for that.
It's sad though, just by replacing that man's middle name with Thomas, we would have a wonderful, dark adaptation. Ugh.
RE2 should have been Jump Kick The World, Alice!
and RE3, everyone knows as It's the Third Movie so we're Killing Off Everyone and going Batshit Insane.
Just like Scream 3 and Jurassic Park 3. And Aliens 3 and Terminator 3.
Not with patience, mind you.
As for the current RE movies? First one was entertaining, second one was a kid with a handi-cam running around screaming alot, and the third was just inexplicable.
no
seriously come again
@ Aborto- I love you.
Oh christ, i wish he was ACTUALLY on fire.
someone stab this cunt in the eyes before he can do any more damage.
his RE films were fucking TERRIBLE. The first one was ass, and they got progressively shittier with every installment.
it's like he was more concerned with awesome special effects, than he was with the source material, or actually making good MOVIES.
Now then...I honestly think at this point, he's worse than Uwe Boll. At least "In the name of the king" and "Postal" were good. How many good video game movies has Anderson made?
But, the second one was pure shit. As soon as Alice got super powers and ran down the side of a building, I broke the fucking .MPEG in half (with my virtual SUPER POWERS). Also, Nemesis pulling a fucking face turn near the end? Suck my balls.
I did not even bother with the third one.
This will suck.
