That's right, Destructoid readers, we've got the Resident Evil: Extinction teaser trailer that was shown with Ghost Rider this past weekend. Just like the other Resident Evil trailers, they do a great job of luring you into a false sense of security by presenting it as though it's a commercial for a product. This, of course, is no indication how the film is going to be. Like Alex and I said, the film was popular, but not necessarily good. Expect the film to hit theaters September 21st.

Oh well.
I'm a horrible Resident Evil fanboy. Don't look at me!
I think I'm going to watch the trailer again.
well i liked both the first movies they were good action flicks and i think i will enjoy these the same.
there wasnt a desert on re games...so? theres no albert wesker on the movies either , its just an adaptation of story , just like any other game/comic movie.
at least it wont suck as much as that dear or alive...thing..i dont want to call that a movie.
Im just glad I SURVIVED the HORROR of this trailer...
Probably because I have a huge boner for Milla Jovovich, and as a bonus Ali Larter is in this one.
Prolly won't see it in the theaters but will buy the DVD so I can FAP to it. :)
But if you're going to have dead corpses shuffling around in the streets, attacking people in the desert, why not just make them mummies?
For that matter, why not just make this some other movie not related to Resident Evil? It's barely related to Resident Evil to begin with. I promise, watching this premise in a movie not titled Resident Evil could not make it any worse, and would save people from complaining about three poorly done films instead of two.
And the reason why people think it's going to suck? Because it's not about Resident Evil anymore, it's about some girl with psychic powers in a Mad Max desert that's ravaged by an organization that happens to be in the games as well.
(I reserve the rights to ignore what I just said if the plot of RE5 involves everything but the psychic girl.)
Paul. Anderson.
The man can direct, and direct very, very well. He just can't write to save his life. To quote the Simpsons:
"I could puke in a fountain pen and mail it to the monkey house and get a better script!"
He really should just stick to directing. He's much better at that.
it would be nice for us real RE fans if capcom would at least make some sort of an apology for allowing one of gaming's most respected franchises to be so disgraced but they're probably too embarrassed at this point.
I really don't think mummies in what looks like the ruins of a major American city would make any more sense than Uwe Boll doing anything correctly. And I can't really agree with the idea that it's not RE anymore. I mean, RE4 didn't have anything to do with zombies in the sense of the previous games, nor the Umbrella Corp, as was customary of all the games as the key villain (I might be wrong. I haven't played though RE4 in about 2 years.). Granted, your point about not making this movie a Resident Evil movie is a good one, but I would rather see it before I write it off completely.
@ carg0
"F*cking morons" are the people who spend more than a buck 50 to see a video game movie that was doomed before the script was finished (i.e. House of the Dead, Bloodrayne, Postal, Dungeon Siege). And besides, you can't fault Capcom if you don't like the movies. I am happier that someone tried and fell short to make a movie based on a game franchise than to just sell the rights to a hack or not try at all. At least the movies reached enough RE fans that weren't looking for an Oscar winning film, just something somewhat entertaining.
I enjoyed that movie when I saw it 22 years ago.

All it needs is a Tina Turner cameo, as a zombie.
@TheStoof: Chris isn't in this movie, are you talking about Carlos?
They already have books based on the last 2 movies.
skip to marker 1:15 for zombies. and some more little picks of them following. I mean there is only a small glance at Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) and Carlos (the same from RE2:Movie)
