Resident Evil Franchise Officially Getting Reboot

[the next guy]

The first one is okay

yeah the first one is decent and has a tone and mood I love.

Bloody Disgusting has been hearing a big name attached to direct but they haven't confirmed yet and hope to do so this week

They have one movie to prove to me their intentions. Watched the first one way back when even as a kid like . Didn't watch a single sequel. There's a lot to work with that they can get right. But any indications of the matrix/ techno music/ action movie sequences and I'm out

Great news

Yup this needs to be a reboot based on the original story line to work. It became a (failed) vehicle for Milla and then faltered to b-movie status fast.

Hmmm is it a failed vehicle if it's made billions breh and they got 6 movies? I don't think it's fair to call it failed lol. Now if you didn't like it that's different but objectively the shyt is a success

I feel like it work better as a TV show, but it's probably never gonna get downgraded to TV anytime soon.

Well to me, I think these movies were supposed to be bigger, I mean the last 4 were so forgettable and I think people toss them in the Underworld series now. I think the goal was to make Milla a huge action star and that only kind of happened.

Making women huge action stars is a systemic Hollywood issue not the issue of one movie. Come on homie you know the game already

Lol of course. I'm just saying this ended up like Underwood when it could have been so much more.

I mean...lol again billions of dollars and fans worldwide. Are they critical darlings? Nah but to say they don't have followings is wrong. Also those two not becoming big action stars isn't about these movies and about other issues not in their control

 

[Jello Biafra]

I just want a Resident Evil movie that is live-action survival horror that stays true to the source material.

Fair enough, I just feel with the content that was available, these should have been iconic. I digress though. Hollywood and the american box office actually played a large part in this not being what it was supposed to be.

 

[Rell Lauren]

Movies were the only way Milla Jovovich was getting work as she's fukking the director.

Don't care for a reboot. The brand as a whole has been tarnished.

 

[Monoblock]

Yea nothing can save this franchise IMO. The first one was pretty bad but somehow they kept topping the awful factor ten fold with each movie.

Why do that, when u can make a billion creating a trash franchise?

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

If they actually give me Chris,Jill,Wesker,Ada,Leon and Claire(not that garbage shyt they tried to pull with random pop ups through out these movies) then I'll fukk with it..
But I have no interest in RE7 Baker story
That shyt was nothing but Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

So now the question is who does he get to direct

Who would you like to see?

 

[MartyMcFly]

Who would you like to see?

Since I know Wan won't do it lol I feel like he's going to handpick someone or take on an unknown like he did with lights out. I feel like someone with a name won't be it because Wan is producing
