"Faithful" to some weeb cringe plot. Zombies are eating people and a corporation is behind it. WOW.

So you don't like Resident Evil but you took time out of your day to make a stupid comment on an RE thread. Got it.

I hope they'll make a bunch of hot bioweapons fighting each other.

The latest Resident Evil movie leak, courtesy of Daniel RPK (via Comicbook.com), reveals the plot of the upcoming adaptation. The synopsis talks about Bryan, "a laid-back organ courier", who will reportedly be portrayed by The Walking Dead's Austin Abrams. Bryan has to go on a late-night delivery to Raccoon City General Hospital, and that's where the strangeness starts to unfold.

During the delivery, Bryan has to pass a snowy mountain road, where he accidentally hits a strange woman with his car. The woman survives somehow, but something seems "very wrong". Bryan tries to help the lady and ends up stumbling "into a full-blown outbreak involving horrifying tentacle-based mutations and bio-engineered monstrosities"

According to the leaked Resident Evil movie plot, the outbreak in Racoon City appears to be ongoing, and the bomb has yet to be dropped. It is speculated that the upcoming adaptation could be set around Resident Evil 2 and 3, as the outbreak was last seen in these games. However, as this is a leak, players should take this information with a grain of salt.

At some point can we stop calling them reboots when they are all different movies none of which actually adapt game story material?

There is no good way to make a Resident Evil movie. The cheese just doesn't translate to the screen. Maybe people like video games for the gameplay or something.

This, Resident Evil story mostly fits on games and no where else.

I mean they could do the movie in the style of the first game's opening cutscene.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Uhuh, i'll believe it when i see it.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Will it look as good as the Welcome To Raccoon City film or will it go back to shitty CGI?

 

[T8SC]

It still won't be as good as the original RE1 intro.



NOO! DON'T GO!

I don't really see why it can't work on screen, especially since Mikami took influence from several horror films when making the original RE game.

Because the plot is paper thin roasted ass

Don't get me wrong. RE4 is my all time favorite game. Mikami wrote the story for it in three weeks. None of the RE games have good stories for film. They get by on characters, gameplay, and scares.

Nobody is expecting a deep plot from RE, and each game at least has a plot.

Honestly, RE should be one of the easiest video games to adapt. Just make a spooky movie with the fun characters from the game. The original movie to an extent (characters weren't that good, also lasers had the higher kill count than actual zombies, WTF) and Welcome to Raccoon City were the closest to get it, but the rest of the films made it a Mary Sue fest, dedicated to the director's girlfriend/eventual wife, filled with soulless action and little atmosphere.

It seems they're not learning their lesson though by forcing another film have an "original lead". I mean, this Bryan can't possibly suck more shit than Alice did, but they should just follow the games generally. I don't care about some rando off on a little side quest while Leon, Claire, and Jill were doing actual important shit.
