"For those of you not in the know, Capcom\'s Resident Evil series is being re-created for the silver screen, and today we\'re glad to present you with the first shot of Milla Jovovich in full RE gear.
Starring Jovovich (Joan of Arc, The Fifth Element) and Michelle Rodriguez (Girlfight), directed by Paul Anderson (Mortal Kombat), and funded by Impact and Constantin Pictures, the Resident Evil Feature film has begun shooting in Berlin, Germany.
While the movie is based on the Resident Evil story, Anderson\'s script makes a slight departure. The story revolves around the same special military unit (S.T.A.R.S.) from RE, but a strange supercomputer, called The Red Queen, has been added into the mix. Apparently, The Red Queen has gone out of control and is perhaps connected with a laboratory accident that has, that\'s right, transformed hundreds of scientists into bloodthirsty zombies. It\'s up to A team of three (a male character has been added to the cast) to find out the cause and stop it.
We\'ll have more on Resident Evil The Movie in the near future. "

so far this P.O.S. just keeps getting more horrible with each news report.
So far it has a ****ty story, a ****ty director and Mila looks like she should be modeling for Prada and not fighting zombies for godsakes.
What a huge letdown...btw if this has already been posted then just delete it.

All I care about is if George Romero is still involed. I know he was originally going to write and dierct it, but I remember hearing that he has sence backet out.
If it\'s a George Romero movie then its gonna rock. If not, It\'s gonna suck.
There\'s 2 ways to make this movie. The right way with George Romero. Or the wrong way, which is any way not involving George Romero.
Can you tell I\'m a big Romero fan? For those of you who don\'t know George Romero is the dierctor of such classics as "Day Of The Dead", Dawn Of The Dead" and the most calssic zombie movie of all "Night Of The Living Dead"

ok then you\'ll probably be upset to know that they canned Romeros script and went with the current idiot who also directed street fighter...STREET FIGHTER FOR GODSAKES!!!...they opted for the guy who made Street Fighter over the king of all things zombie...

Well that\'s that. I won\'t even bother to rent it.
-
romero couldnt deal with a PG13 rating so he left the project
-
Argh.... This movie looks like another Street Fighter, except worse. Why are stupid movies continually being brought to theaters. A Resident Evil movie shouldn\'t be constricted to a PG-13 rating. We want BLOOD AND GUTS!! Please no more stupid videogame movies!! Although I like Mortal Kombat the movie.
-
the media seems to think that "blood and guts" cause school shootings, hence the PG13 rating
:rolleyes:
-
wtf? why make Mature rating games and then the make a movie based on that game be PG-13?
so lame ass...Capcom should stick to games...enough of there flawed movie attempts cause I lose respect for them each time they put something like this out for the public..
-
Capcom has kick ass anime though. Street Fighter 2 and Street Fighter Alpha both kicked ass, I have them on DVD, along with the DarkStalkers.
As for the RE movie. This truly pains me, as I love the games and have long imagined it. But, it doesn\'t suprise me. Has anyone seen all the RE toys? They look rather cheap. It seems Capcom pays zero attenion to Capcom toys (outside of Japan--The Street Fighter Zero Dolls are awesome!) and live action movies. Hopefully, and it pains me to say this, the movie will flop in the box offices and it never sees a sequel.
My advice? True RE fans shouldn\'t see the movie, that way the game isn\'t spoiled. Lord knows it took me awhile to go back to Street Fighter 2 after the movie...........
:shudder:
-
I have never seen the cartoons...i\'m assuming there cool.
They should get McFarlane toys to do there toys.
Man I don\'t play with toys no more but I admit spending my money on the McFarlane toy collectibles. They gotta be the best toys on the market...for look and quality...
dammit I wish I were 6 again so I could play with them...

You should check out the cartoons. They are awesome, well \'cept the American ones. Like the Street Fighter cartoon that ran on the USA network channel. It was extremely lame. But, if you find the anime ones on DVD they are cool to check out.
Yeah, they should get McFarlane to do the toys. He has the coolest damn toys ever. I have no problem buying the McFarlane toys--like Nightmare on Elm Street, The Crow, etc. They are just cool as hell to sit on a desk and look at.
You ever notice that all the cool toys seem to come out after you\'ve grown up? It sucks, damnit!
-
lol yeah the timing is horrible for those things...
I remeber I use to play with those 1 foot G.I. Joes, and I .broke ones arm off by accident so I taped it back on and made it look like a war wound. Then when I was bored with that idea I used grey tape to look like metal and drew little buttons on the tape and I pretended he was a cyborg.
I would take plastic bags and make masks and stuff for them, i\'d take popsicle sticks and cut the edges off so they were pointy then glue that to someones forearm so he could stab people with it. I\'d make my own little guns out of wood and stuff. Up here in canada, every winter I would get all dressed up and go play in the backyard and bury my guys then I would forget about them and had to wait until spring came so the snow would melt and I could find em...
Oh boy, some fun times indeed.
I\'ve got like this cheapy rental store by my place, now they get new releases or nuthing like that but they stalk up on a ton of anime and stuff like that. I\'ll definately look for em next time i\'m out there.

This will be a Automatic DuD.
Its just like making Halloween for PG13. **** THAT !!!!
They should get Alan B. McElroy to do the script. He made Spawn and Halloween 4 (which resurected the series IMO).
Street Fighter was a DuD, looks like Resident Evil will carry on with the craptacular capcom based game movies.

Hmmm, the clothing resembles resident evil in every way :rolleyes:
Still a hottie though :D
-
yea this movie looks to change the plot of the game too much
they are straying away from the game like all other game : movie formats
its a shame they really could have made this cool
oh well another one bites the dust
-
Ever since I heard that the movie was going to be PG13 I haven\'t been interested.
It\'s going to flop,gamers who played the RE games want to see horror.And people who don\'t know anything about the RE games will probly be uninterested.
-
The only game to movie that I have the slightest bit of faith in right now is Final Fantasy: Spirits Within.
I\'m sure many people will just go to see the beauty of graphics.
-
Question: Is Jill in the movie? If so, is that Jill?
Jill was a hottie (for a videogame chick). Mila is a hottie, so she should natrually play the role of Jill, if Jill is actually in the movie at all.
And , I hate FF but I still plan on seeing the movie, just because of the graphics. Yum...
-
yea but i don\'t think that the FF movie really has much to do with the series - sure there may be a few hints here and there but i think square really just slapped the title to draw a fanbase to the movies - and then the graphics will bring everyone else
still i think the movie, FF, looks and sounds great
-
At least Milla Jovovich is a fine woman. ;)
But they should make it with a lot of gore and nudity. Then I would watch it nomatter how bad it sucked. :D
-
mmmmm gore and nudity,the things that make an average movie a great movie :)
-
I am not a fore-teller but I can already tell what this movie will be about.
Just pure action. Forget horror and suspense.
You can see it. Just watch the pic. And remember the director, and how bad the Street Fighter movie was. Add those two things together, and you will have your vision. I hate to spoil a good-looking woman into a movie I can\'t watch.
I sure didn\'t know the RE movie was going to be PG-13, and as I do now, I\'m heavily disappointed. I lost the last pieces of interest towards this movie the moment I read this thread and saw that pic.
Also, I didn\'t know the name of the director, and what movies the director has directed. Now that I know, I shall forget the whole movie and concentrate my interest to those wich do interest me.
Of course RE games were always action-based, but there was horror in them as well. And they were scary. Of course they were action-based as they\'re games. Player must have the opportunity to interact with the game. But RE movie instead could\'ve been more horror than action...
But now I know it won\'t.
Farewell, another good-idea-spoiled.
-
some of Anderson\'s movies are good. Event Horizon was cool. Mortal Kombat was well done. Soldier was ok. why the **** is it pg 13!!!!!! that sucks big!!
-
i heard that theres going 2 be a doom movie. that would kick azz
-
who would play the lead role?
-
See they lost me when they started that "super-computer" stuff. You know why filmmakers in Hollywood don\'t write Resident Evil storylines? Because they suckass. Then they get the script and I guess they think that a video-game script won\'t cut it for a movie so they throw in the Terminator 2 stuff. But you can bet we\'ll see cheasy lines and rips from the game.
S.A.C.S.

Hey come on man, remember the naked zombies in the RE games?
Those guys were tough zombies considering they are naked.
-
