Well, there's another
Resident Evil movie in the works, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. It's called
Resident Evil: Afterlife, and they're making it like, right now or something.
According to movie Web site
ComingSoon,
Afterlife is going to continue the series' tradition of making something that only vaguely resembles the games. Screen Gems, the studio behind the upcoming film, has this to say about the plot:
In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, Alice continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend. A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead leads them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive the city is overrun by thousands of Undead and Alice and her comrades are about to step into a deadly trap.
Sure, why not? I mean, I think we can all agree that this sounds like a better idea than pretending the previous three movies didn't happen and then making a film closely based on
Resident Evil 4. Right? But I have a question: What's up with the capitalization of "Undead," Screen Gems?

The irony is most gamers shit all over the early Resi games anyway. Even if the films were more like the games, the most popular of the games is Resi 4 which is the least typical game of the series, so most people would still probably not like the films. The Resi films actually reference and copy the games a lot more than most people seem to realise, because most people aren't as familiar with the games as they claim anyway.
Also the reason they may be capitalising 'Undead' is because it's been a bit of a tradition in the production of the films that the zombies as a whole are referred to almost like a single entity. I recall it being mentioned that they use it in the scripts to more clearly define when an undead monster is doing something or when it's being described/mentioned in dialog.
I say, hurrah for a fourth film. They're fun, they're mindless, they were the first zombie film to restart the trend. And any excuse to keep Milla Jovovich around is always good.
Zombie lions, tigers and bears OH SH!T.
But you're right the header is probably the main reason ppl will see it. Or they just want to see how horrible it is (cause we're gluttons for punishment). I just think it's a step above that vamp thing... Tw-whatever.
I'm surprised Ellen Page and vampires aren't in this film. Maybe with
For the record Ellen Page is awesome.
