Are you excited for Zach Cregger's Resident Evil reboot?

who the hell is zach crigger?

Yes
>>715493598
He was on WKUK

>another shitty live action movie
Only the first movie was okay. All the others were pretty shit. Anderson’s best video game movie is still Mortal Kombat.

>>715493423 (OP)
>he's a huge fan!
do they really have to go through this song & dance every time

>has beat all the games
Like, no. Just straight up. You have not finished all 23 Resident Evil games. You are a gay nigger.

Obviously I'm only counting fully released games in English. I'm not pulling a "errrm but what about The Missions on J2ME??" here. only actual games.

0% chance this dude has finished all 23 Resident Evil games.

>>715494972
>>715495351
Zach wouldn't do us wrong

>>715493423 (OP)
>has beat all the games
hell no, that is the last person that should be on this

>>715495351
>Obviously I'm only counting fully released games in English
Craven.

>>715493598
the other guy not named Trevor Moore from WKUK

>>715493423 (OP)
I won't care until they cast Jill

>>715493423 (OP)
It's not as if he can do worse than the RE movies starring Milla Jovovich. He's got a very low bar to clear.

>>715495351
probably means only mainline.
but even then its just marketingspeak

>>715495351
remake, re2make, r3make, rem4ke, 5, 6, 7, 8 and dlcs are sufficient

>>715495832
Damn, Timmy really cleaned up well.

>>715495351
How long would that feasibly take? I started going through the whole series around 2016 and over the course of a few years I beat 1, Remake 1, 2, 3, 0, 4, Revelations, 5, Revelations 2, 6 and 7. Then once Remake 2, 3, Village and 4 came out, I beat those too.
So I’m only missing Code Veronica, Outbreak 1/2 and I guess Umbrella/Darkside Chronicles? What else am I missing? I have ORC on PS3 but stopped early near Birkin and I also played like a few minutes of Gaiden but lost interest. I guess REsistance and REverse but I think the latter shut down and is unplayable now.
I guess what I’m saying is if he’s played them over the years, especially on release, it’s feasible. But I still doubt it because he’s probably trying to get in good graces since most would say they never played them and don’t care.

>>715493423 (OP)
when are they going to stop making god awful resident evil movies/shows that give zero fuck about the source material? just make an origijnal movie/show.

It will have a really good first half, then shit the bed, like all of his movie

(ive only seen pic rel but the first half was geniunely really good, fuck justin long)

50% of the movie should be wesker

Are the Resident Evil movies more popular than the games? I do all this trivia, and I've seen plenty of questions about Resident Evil, and it's never about the games. Questions are usually designed around what they expect (some) people to know, so that implies that to normalfags the film franchise is way more relevant than the games ever were.

>>715496390
Companion had the same issue.

>>715496320
Thr multiplayer slop obviously doesn't count.

Buy play Outbreak 1 and 2. They are legitimately great games and the AI isn't even bad and will solve puzzles and listen to you.

>>715496535
Wait shit, that was from the same guy? Kek. That was fun.. until the "big" reveal too, damn

>>715493423 (OP)
Yep
Can't wait for the straight men turned out to all be bad guys and the women kills all of them

>>715496583
he only produced Companion

>>715496390
>>715496390
Second half was weaker but I didn't think it was awful

Miss March, his directorial debut, was awful save for like one or two moments

>Fourth time's the charm guys!

>>715495845
There is no Jill in the film. No characters from the games at all.

>>715496320
the gun survivor games

>>715496530
I’d say just about every movie based on a game will be more popular than the game because movies are still the biggest medium. Everyone watches movies. And while the RE games are the biggest they’ve ever been, horror games are still relatively niche. I mean, even mega franchises like Witcher, Fallout and the Last of Us had waaaaaay more people watching the shows and getting into the games that way.

>>715493423 (OP)
>A BLOO BLOO PEOPLE WILL BULLY ME ONLINE NO MATTER WHAT SO I'M GOING TO MAKE IT SHIT ON PURPOSE!

Funny that there are several non-bullied vidya franchises he could look but no

>>715496530
They were weirdly popular with people that never even heard of the games. I remember my mom asking me what game I was playing when RE6 came out and when I told her she asked me why you didn't play as the MC from the movies.

>>715496753
I’m honestly okay with that. I’d prefer no named characters trying to survive. My issue with the other ones were that they did bring in the other characters only to sideline them and make them useless. If the story is simply the perspective of a random civilian then it could be really cool.

>>715495351
Zach very likely has, remember in the commentary for one of the WKUK DVDs he was talking about hurrying it up so he could go pick up his copy of Fallout 3.

>>715497002
they were big blockbuster action movies, don't need to know anything about the games, or even that they're adaptions at all, to enjoy that

>>715495351
Most of them are like 8 hours and have been released for close to 30 years.
It's not exactly hard to have done.

>>715496772
I didn't know what you meant by that, so I looked it up and apparently this is called "Gun Survivor 4" in Japan.

But this game is fun and I think people skip it because they hear "light gun game" and assume you need a CRT or a light gun setup of some kind or it's going to like House of the Dead or whatever but I actually didn't even like using my Guncon for this one.

It functions fine as a "third person shooter*" with all the walking you'll be doing.

https://youtu.be/2QZYGPYHuXc?t=382

I miss Trevor

>>715497352
yeah i admit that was kinda confusing but there's no simple way to refer to survivor + dead aim in english since they didn't keep the naming the same

>>715496530
In terms of trivia, the films have so much more reach. If you have a trivia question about an evil little girl computer, WAY more people will remember, "Oh, the Red Queen!" than any game-specific reference you care to make. It's really the difference between nerd culture and more casual mainstream audience dynamics.

Most people can't remember the plot of the videogame they just played. Also the fact at best about half of your audience never finishes each game. Game plot comprehension and retention is dismal compared to movies.

Remember how people were disappointed by RE The Final Chapter not properly paying off the awesome ending of Retribution? Well, that's because they actually finished Retribution. Most people who watched it watched to the end. You can't do that with a videogame. Most of your audience will not remember the cliffhanger ending.

Regardless, it's really an issue of demographics. The RE movies have a lot of mainstream penetration. If people know who Milla Jovovich is, they likely know her most famous characters, Leeloo and Alice. When a new RE film is revealed, people are interested to know if Alice is in this one because she is really strongly associated with the brand, much like Ripley and Alien. New RE film protags are automatically compared to Alice. Bryan, the male protag in the new film, is gonna be compared to Alice. She's the reference point.

>>715497783
movie plot comprehension is also utterly dogshit, it's just only 2 hours max and they can have all of it wash over them passively so there's more chance of things sticking.

>>715493423 (OP)

Then what's the point of his fandom being brought up? His experience with the games is moot when the goal is to not be the games

I hate CREGGERS to be quist honest with you family.

>>715497783
God, these movies were so bad.
Yet so alluring at the same time, somehow.

>already preparing for fan backlash
Yeah, its going to be shit lul

>>715493423 (OP)
Can't do worse than what's already present anyway. Well, outside of that one laser room scene.

>>715498291
I don't mind people telling new stories with existing characters, but the problem is that they do this while simultaneously disrespecting other existing lore outside of "canon" stories. They change existing characters, mechanics of the world, etc.

>>715498150
Weren't these movies at least profitable?

>>715497926
The Weapons script leaked. It's shit. This Resident Evil movie will be awful too. It's about a courier delivering a package to an isolated hospital. He gets caught up in a zombie outbreak at the hospital and has to fight to escape. I don't give a shit about staying faithful to the games, it's just a boring, predictable concept.

>>715497783
okay you gotta admit this shot of them standing at the top of the white house is KINO

>>715495351
Nah, I totally believe that he's beat all the mainline games.

zach killed trevor as a hollywood sacrifice to further his career

>>715498674
Extremely profitable. It's the second or third highest grossing horror franchise.

>>715496249
>not the original 2 and 3
I'd really prefer if you'd be quiet

>>715498810
No he got killed by (((them))) for his kitty history video, obviously

>>715498729

>>715498993
you can't be real...

I've read a version of the script. AMA.

>>715498993
>>715501068
apparently it was bullshit or just another fake leak like the other one I read here (/tv/)

>>715500842
The story is told through 5 different character's perspectives, and finally the 6th perspective told through the lens of the one kid who did not disappear from the class. Eventually the perspective of each character ends on a cliffhanger, and then perspective switches to another character. Each time more of what is actually happening is being revealed.

It's the final perspective that finally fully reveals what happened. It is revealed that Alex's great aunt Gladys is extremely old, decrepit and essentially expected to die soon. There is a very brief snippet of Gladys in the trailer, covered in almost clownish makeup. Gladys is a witch of sorts, and takes advantage of Alex's parents by taking samplings of their hair. Her magic is like voodoo, using hair samples, tree branches and her own blood to manipulate people into being her automatons. Also she appears able to suck the life force out of her victims and slowly become younger and more healed over time, while her victims become almost braindead and paralyzed unless she orders them to do something. Alex's parents are braindead almost the entire time and he has to feed them soup by hand into their mouths. They can barely even swallow it, but they'll die if not fed in this vegetative state. She manipulates almost every character in the film save for Alex, who she needs to maintain a semblance of normalcy in the house. She was able to make the kids run out of the house by using the Valentine's cards Alex got in another voodoo ritual. The kids hide in the basement, lifeless and immobile while Gladys drains their life force. She can force people to go into an animalistic murderous rage, where they absolutely will not stop, exhibit any sign of pain or exhaustion until they've either killed their victims, or been killed.

>>715498993
Lmao that's why it's called Weapons? Creggers really can't help himself without shoving some kind of social commentary into the movie.
What better way then to have a weird giant floating (possibly alien) assault rifle.

>>715501159
>I've read a version of the script. AMA.
To clarify I've read a version of the Resident Evil script. Don't know how old it is.

>>715501159
Is it just more zombieslop or are there other creatures?

>>715501159
>>715501332
Do any of the game characters appear?

>>715501182
So it's literally just witches and voodoo magic? Well that's kinda boring but then again there's not much you can explain with the concept other than the supernatural or aliens.
Maybe cosmic Lovecraft shit could be better.

It doesn't have traditional zombies. It has worm/tentacle things as well as a kind of mutating infection spread by a bite. It's like Slither crossed with The Fly.

>>715501383
No game characters at all. Bryan, his girlfriend (who is only heard over the phone) and the Umbrella scientists who fucked up are all original characters.

>>715495351
there is only like 12 actual RE games the rest are spinoff garbage

By nature these things are incompatible. RE is retarded schlock that only works because you're the goofy ass in the middle of it.

How many terrible live action Resident Evil movies do we need? Isn't it funny that each new one can't even do better than the Paul W. S. Anderson ones in profit or better storytelling and those things went into pure fan fiction since almost the beginning. Really just a vehicle to keep his wife employed as Alice. Just stick to the animated Resident Evils instead.

>>715502169
>Just stick to the animated Resident Evils instead.
Those films are very bad. They're the worst kind of vapid fan-service movies with nothing really going for them besides fans seeing the characters they liked do things.

I honestly don't get why they can't simply just make a movie adaptation of the first game. It would work very well as a real horror movie but I guess making decent shit is too much effort. Really just get rid of the trash dialogue

I'm a huge fan of souls while giving %0.00 of a shit about whatever Zanzibart is doing

>>715502508
Because the first game has a bad plot. The original RE film is the first game's plot stripped down and improved. They kept all the core ideas like a mansion, the traitor in the group, a secret lab, creatures, etc.

Wow, Capcom is actually trying to fix ORC

it's in the early streams before trevor died. he even literally says "the place didn't even have a basement"

Resident Evil is maybe my favorite series of games but I’ve never enjoyed any of the live action versions. The live action versions just seem way too detached from the game characters.

>>715504219
The characters from the games don't belong to the filmmakers, so could never be allowed to be particularly important to the plot.

>i will change everything though
he didn't say "i will change everything". he said "i won't be 100% lore accurate". everyone who actually knows the RE story and lore knows that there is some retarded shit that shouldn't be abided by. no one really plays RE games because they care about the overarching lore.

>>715506359
kys zach

>>715493598
He is the son of a Christian missionary couple. They have passed away. He has accepted satan as his lord and master. That is all that needs to be said of him. Yes, he likely killed his best friend to get movie roles in hollywood.

>>715506450
the movie he shot (trevor died right after they streamed together for the first time since he left to film it) had a scene where the main character throws a character with the initials T.M. off a building and then gives a pretentious speech about how he's not a bad guy, just a guy who did a bad thing.

>i won't be 100% lore accurate"
that's basically admitting massive changes will be made for the sake of change
>. no one really plays RE games because they care about the overarching lore.
then why would anyone buy a ticket and watch the movie then? better yet, why make it if thw lore is that uninteresting? this is another thing that screams massive changes

>>715506840
You're right the Anderson films were so lore accurate which is why they were a massive success.

>>715506613
My memory must be playing tricks on me, I distinctly remember some comedian ending himself in traffic accident few years ago, could have sworn it was Trevor.

Support fanmade kino.

Staring the original actors from the PS1 version of RE1.

>>715506840
>then why would anyone buy a ticket and watch the movie then?
because people like RE for the vibes. a lot of horror movies are the same: the stories are paper thin and the lore retarded, but they got the right atmosphere that people are looking for when they go to watch them. no one is going to care that much if in the film they decide to make leon have a kid that died from a zombie attack to give him slightly more motivation or a darker back story or something. as long as the main points are there, people (except for pedantic autists who do not matter) will enjoy the story.

>>715506962
The Anderson films are not THAT different to Capcom's games in terms of (rolls eyes) "lore".

>>715507302
the anderson films kept the bare minimum: underground labs, umbrella, t-virus, zombies, and a couple of the more well known monsters from some of the games.

>>715493423 (OP)
>Huge Fan
>Beat all the games

Then he is not a fan. He is a faggot. Anyone can say this, and usually it's for the $$$$$$.

>>715507302
The main character of the films doesn't even exist in the games.

>>715507478
What do you mean by "lore" then?

>>715507696
They created a new character (whom they owned) to replace the game characters (whom they don't own). The new film is doing the same thing. Although he turns into a monster at the end, something Jovovich refused to do.

>>715507703
I'm not >>715506962. But they changed the entire story? What the fuck do you mean? This is like saying Star Wars and Star Trek have the same "lore" because there's aliens and space ships.

From the get go they change the main characters, the inciting incident for the story, the STARS members are absent for the entire introductory incident, Wesker isn't involved in the first major events, etc.

>>715507201
Too old now

>>715493423 (OP)

How many more reboots are they going to have to do before they learn their lesson?

>>715508384
So you don't know anything.

>>715507857
Actually, the mansion incident happened in the RE films. Wesker met Chris and Claire offscreen, too. (They didn't have the budget for the flashback scenes.)

>>715508465
I'm not the one making fucking claims about the films content dipshit.

>>715498861
Those don't exist anymore, we removed them from history. You will lose all your childhood games and movies.

>>715507983
No, it's not. (I've read the script.) It's an original story set on the outskirts of Raccoon City before the city is destroyed where some Umbrella scientists fuck up, their creations are rampaging around the forest, and they try to order an ant-mutant serum through the mail like fucktards hoping to avoid the higher-ups noticing. The main character is a courier delivering the package containing the serum.

>>715508725
That sounds kind of cool. Are there any scenes of campers and hikers getting shredded by mutants? The background info about all the escalating attacks over the summer was always my favorite part of RE1.

>>715508725
Sorry, to clarify a point, the serum is a component they need to try to stop the outbreak (they fail, BTW, things go very fucking sideways at the end).
>>715509430
Nothing like that. People who are infected grow tentacles that have minds of their own. There's a little girl, there's a few other not-zombie characters. The film kicks off when Bryan accidentally hits a not-zombie woman with his car.

>>715493423 (OP)
lorebrain is terminal mental illness
behead all retards who use terms like lore and canon
its about killing zombies in a haunted house

>>715509819
Unfortunately, with Resident Evil there's a lot of baggage here because when people talk about RE's "lore" what they really mean is that they want the films to be part of the same continuity as the games. (Lore that Capcom is frankly retconning the shit out of constantly.) No filmmaker wants to have their films held prisoner by Capcom's narrative whims.

>>715502491
thats not sil thats artie bucco

I played all the games and I despise the fanbase
a whole fanbase of drooling retards

>>715509926
I will die on the hill that 99% of the changes the original films made to the story of the games was a good change. They rewrote a number of plot points around Umbrella's history and behavior that just make a lot more sense and feel less goofy and stupid.

>>715497783
The movies are so fucking confusing, i checked out after the 4th film because the story went batshit crazy. Why is wesker now a good guy?

>>715510490
>Why is wesker now a good guy?
He finally got over Chris bullying him

>>715509926
Yeah, I feel like if there's any time that it's perfectly fine to say this, it's towards a series with a completely nonsense story that was clearly just being made up on the spot with each new game and didn't really go anywhere.

Will Sam, Timmy, or Daren be in it?
Sam should be a tyrant, Timmy should be Jill, and Daren can be Claire

As shitty as the Anderson movies were, he understood that Resident Evil was inspired by cheesy American B horror movies and he got that right at least.

Honestly, an underrated aspect of Anderson's movies is that he clearly had a lot of love and admiration for George Romero and B moviemakers like Albert Pyun. (Which was perhaps an issue because he always seemed to relish in being a bit goofy.) My impression is that Cregger's film is going in a more contemporary Reddit horror direction. Hope it's good, though.

>>715510490
>Why is wesker now a good guy?
He's faking it. (He was always faking it, but they speedrun the reveal that he's faking it in the sequel.)

>>715493423 (OP)
Can't beat Angelina Resident Evil movies.

>...Wow!... a GALLON of T-virus?

>>715512421
straight up throw in CGI generated Trevor, cutting some corners on quality with the excuse that he's now T-virus zombie so that it fits in the budget

>>715493423 (OP)
>I just to make a good movie
>that's why I will take this IP and rape it
Huh? Can't you just make a good movie without it? If you're going to use the IP I suggest making a good representation of that IP as well as a good movie

>>715513031
guess he believes in Jodorowsky school of filmmaking

>>715513031
The idea is that you try to make a good or fun movie that just happens to be based on something. As opposed to trying to make empty fan-pandering crap.

>>715513386
I'm just happy we got El Topo

I don't really see a problem with making a movie that takes place in the universe but isn't just rehashing the plot of one of the games. Making something that takes place between 1 and 2 showing the escalation of the virus sounds cool.

Only decent RE movie was RE1, because of the labs atmosphere, the computer killing people, the mystery of what happened...
RE games have shitty plot trying to emulate B action movies. They work great as games but suck as movies for obvious reasons.

motherfucker

Paul W.S. Anderson is to Resident Evil what Zack Snyder is to DC. Although obviously I think Snyder is a much more passionate filmmaker. His films have a real sense of the ethereal. Nonetheless in both cases they made adaptations that were very much THEIRs and those adaptations are controversial with source material purists, and there is an eternal quest to make a successful reboot.

>>715493423 (OP)
Why watch live action when you already have cool animation movies like damn nation?

>>715501159
Why are you gay?

>>715502869
Other way round anon.

>>715518365
Were they married before the first movie? I assumed they met because of the movies.

>>715518704
I saw the new Superman Wow, whatever movie Paul stole this from really was the blueprint, huh.

>>715519023
The game has a bad plot, somewhat boring mansion setting, and awful dialogue. The film fixes all of these things. It gets out of the mansion as quickly as possible.

>>715519152
Sorry, anon, you're objectively wrong.

>>715519082
She was a side character in the RE1 movie originally so just after reading the script she went to his room to sleep with him so that he changes the plot and makes her the main character.

>>715519082
They met on the first movie. The original choice was SarahMichelleGellar. But Yoshiki Okamoto, who was high ranking at Capcom, really liked Jovovich, and pushed for her to be considered.

>>715519302
>She was a side character in the RE1 movie originally
No she wasn't, she was the lead character in the film. But Paul was constantly rewriting the film.

>>715519490
No, it was that latina girl. There's literally an interview of Milla telling what happened and how she convinced Paul to rewrite the script.

>>715519565
Fuck off, you're just making shit up to hate on the movie.

>>715519565
No, I'm saying that Jovovich was cast (because Capcom recommended her). She was originally written as Jill Valentine, then they were like, "Fuck that" for obvious reasons. But around that time Rodriguez had gotten some awards buzz for Girlfight, so there was a push to make her more prominent in the film. In the leaked script we have, she dies in the zombie door sequence instead of JD. Anyway, after Paul did yet another writing pass, Jovovich read the new script and felt that Michelle was "the guy" and she was now "the girl", and being sidelined in her own movie. So the dynamic was shifted again. She was the lead actor, she had pull. In the final cut it's more of a Ripley/Call from Alien Resurrection thing, complete with overt lesbian subtext.

>>715496320
>How long would that feasibly take?
There's several ways to look at this.
>What Capcom considers mainline
That would be the four remakes, and then 5-8.
I'd say that's roughly in the ballpark of 110 hours.
RE:3 is about five hours.
REmake, RE5, and RE7 would all be ten hours each.
RE:2 and Village are about fifteen hours.
RE:4 is closer to twenty.
RE6 is about twenty five.
>But what about ALL the mainline
That adds RE1-4, Code Veronica, Zero, and Revelations to the pile.
RE1 & 3 are about eight hours each, Zero is closer to ten, both Revelations games I'd put at around twenty, and CV is about twelve.
So, 110 + 16 + 10 + 20 + 12 = 168 hours.
>But what about the spinoffs
Survivor = 5 hours (really short).
Dead Aim = 3 hours (REALLY short)
Umbrella Chronicles with all scenarios is around 15 hours.
Darkside is more like 10.
Umbrella Corps.' Experiment Mode is about 8 hours.
And presuming just completions of the scenarios (not all endings), Outbreak File #1 would be about 15 hours and #2 about 20.
So, 168 + 5 + 3 + 15 + 10 + 8 + 15 + 20 = 243.

And to make that even, account for potential mental retardation, round that up to 250 hours. No non-canon shit here, and Survivor 2 is an arcade game with variable definitions of "completing".
That means all of RE in terms of games that "matter" would take a bit over ten full days to go through. Presuming someone plays games at an unhealthy rate of four hours a day, that would be about two months of continuous playing.

>>715519586
I don't hate RE1

My primary criticism of the whole RE debate is that Paul W.S. Anderson is absolutely a passionate gamer. He was an avowed gamer from his first movie, the one before Mortal Kombat with Jude Law. He played the RE games. He got the RE gig because he was already working on an RE fan movie, basically. Then you've got these glib dorks talking about how Cregger is the first RE director who played the games. I'm sorry, but the original films were by a huge fan of the games. That's beyond dispute. I don't understand the desire to dwell in delusion because he made movies you don't like.

>>715496530
The games have always been less popular than the films and constantly integrate elements from them into the games, as early as 2004.
>the logo
Used for Outbreak.
>Alice's dress
Costume for Alyssa in Outbreak.
>Laser hall
Used in RE4, the remake of 4, and Umbrella Chronicles.
>Tech & Visual Aesthetics
Separate Ways in RE4 (in particular the Wesker stuff) and Umbrella Chronicles.
>Red Queen
Umbrella Chronicles.
>Clones
Umbrella Chronicles (and just wait for when they bring back Wesker).
>Global Outbreak
Resident Evil 6.
>Viruses Causing Paranormal/Supernatural Psychic Abilities
Resident Evil 7, Village.
>Raccoon City
RE2 Remake.
>Lab Aesthetics, "HIVE"
"NEST" in the RE2 and RE3 remakes
>Alice's Retribution Outfit
Resistance.

Way more that I just forgot, the movies are FAR more relevant to the vast majority of people than the games. This anon >>715497783 is on the right track. The vast majority of people don't really give a shit about a game's story or characters, because that's all secondary. That's why people don't tend to finish games, they play to satisfy themselves, and then leave when it's done.

Nobody gives a shit about the lore and nobody cares about RE "stories".

>>715521134
Then make your own zombie movie and don't bother with the IP

>>715522381
Fuck you little bitch, I know your the the one schizo always following me in every thread

>>715496390
Yea I watched this movie because of Weapon trailer but it was a waste of time. Like the movie had 2 different writers.

bump

>>715496390
>It will have a really good first half, then shit the bed, like all of his movie
Just like the average RE game.

>>715493598
assmoongold

>>715509926
I just want the lore and characters surrounding the events of 1998 to be respected in a movie adaptation.

Resident Evil only went full retard with 4,5, and 6.

>>715493423 (OP)
>won't be completely obedient to established lore
Whoa... what a unique idea for a resident evil movie
