Thread 717792702

Zach Cregger's Resident Evil ignores the timeline from the games, has no characters from the games, and is basically a completely original horror film set on the outskirts of Raccoon City. None of this is a bad thing, but it's funny to see history repeating itself so neatly.

I think we need to beat his ass with a hammer

>>717792702 (OP)
>>717793251
The resi Anderson movies (except final chapter) as well as the Netflx resi are still better than the soulless RE Engine slop. RIP Resident Evil 1996-2017 you'll be missed.

>>717793347
you are not even trying

>>717792702 (OP)
The difference is Cregger's made it clear he wants to evoke the game's elements but not directly adapt it because per his words "Leon's story is told in the games."
Anderson's films basically just sidelined all the characters people liked to make a star vehicle for his wife.

>>717792702 (OP)
The new one sounds promising. Much better than Anderson's trash.

>>717793656
>The difference is Cregger's made it clear he wants to evoke the game's elements but not directly adapt it because per his words "Leon's story is told in the games."
How is that any different to what Anderson's films did?

>>717793393
I am you are just a slop eater. Thanks for exposing yourself.

Test

>>717793347
It's funny you mention Final Chapter, because it seems like a fairly obvious inspiration for RE9.

>>717794027
uh huh

>>717793656
To be very clear, anon, Cregger's movie takes place in a different timeline where nothing from the games happened. He isn't doing some crossmedia shared universe thing. He's doing the exact same thing the Andersonverse did.

>>717794138
well as long as mila isn't in it

>>717794252
Instead his pet actor Austin Abrams is in it.

Why can't people just play the games if they really were interested in Resident Evil? They're cinematic enough already, making movies about it is just redundant at this point.

>>717792702 (OP)
I didn't know where it was headed at the time, but the main reason I didn't mind the original RE is was because there aren't many games with "disposable campaigns" for lack of a better word where the objective isn't for the cast to succeed but simply experience and observe the situation then die, a cinematic version of the victim logs you tend to find in horror games, so I was initially under the impression this was a film to explore how fucked the situation is whenever the heroes aren't around.

Once it became basically a playthrough of a videogame it lost my interest, wasn't a matter of Milia surviving either just how effective she became which meant the threat of Umbrella, Wesker and Bioweapons would always be subservient to her protagonist status. Thank you for reading my lazy review.

>>717794738
I read it, I liked it, I subscribed to your mailing list.

Those RE movies have characters from the games though. They aren't even original horror films either, they steal from the games all the time.

>>717794738
>wasn't a matter of Milia surviving either just how effective she became which meant the threat of Umbrella, Wesker and Bioweapons would always be subservient to her protagonist status.
But Umbrella succeed in killing almost everyone in the world.

>>717792702 (OP)
you can see her pussy for a few frames in the first movie

>>717792702 (OP)
Anybody that wants "a faithful" adaptation deserves the latest film with a mexican Leon.
The plot of the video games are unworkable as a film, it barely functions as a horror story to begin with.

>>717792702 (OP)
It's the smart approach if your forced to use the RE ip as using existing characters will cause people to complain they aren't faithful or used well. RE stories aren't that good either so trying to adapt them would be dumb. If the movie is popular/good enough which it probably won't then then the characters from it might have a cameo in the games trying them together.

>>717794320
Austin Abrams is a fine actor though

>>717792702 (OP)
Cregger is like a Jordan Peele. The sociopolitical angle is his whole shtick. It's why critics will praise this one very heavily no matter the faithfulness.

>>717792702 (OP)
It's going to be an RE0 adaptation.

>>717793656
Someone had to put that bitch Kate Beckinsale in her place.

>>717793982
He'll be subverting expectations of the young dudes planning to watch this rather than playing it straight like Anderson did

>>717796787
That probably would be the best way to do it. The closest you should get to the games is maybe just telling stories set around events the players don't get to see in the games.
>make a movie about a handful of the umbrella staff in the spencer estate trying to escape as everything first goes to shit
>make a movie about a group of characters trying to survive the raccoon incident
>make a movie about the days when Saddler first came to the village

>>717798158
No, it's a film about a courier whose car crashes while he's delivering a mystery package, and he has to go the rest of the way on foot and the forest is full of monsters.

>>717793656
They don't own free-use rights to characters like Leon and Jill and all that, meaning they're tangled up in executive meddling by Capcom, so they were never gonna allow them to be main characters, they always have to be supporting roles. If Cregger's movie gets a sequel and they decide to add one of the game character the situation will repeat.

>>717798158
lol Dusk Tranny and those other "leaker" fags were spreading this around based on a single paragraph in a random film publication copy/pasted from a wiki article.

>>717793656
Milla was not his wife during the filming of the first movie. The decision to center the franchise around her came from the studio.

>>717792702 (OP)
If no one will adapt the games directly can Hollywood simply work from this literary iteration at least? All you need to do is rewrite it as a screenplay, most of the work is done already.

>>717802276

What's the second and fourth book about

>>717792702 (OP)
Could someone verify whether Capcom is involved in the rejection of two directors' avoiding to include game characters in their films? Is there a list of things that characters can and cannot do, that a director finds restrictive from Capcom? Or is this limited to the studio?

Not a single one of his movies so far has been worth being complicit in Trevor Moores murder. He seems so happy about him being dead I almost get the feeling he would have popped him himself if the glow niggers didn't do it for him

>>717792702 (OP)
>Zach Cregger
imagine sacrificing trevor moore and all you get is a RE reboot everyone is gonna fucking hate out of it. what a faggot

>>717802276
It functions better as a series without any involvement from Netflix.

they should probably just fire the faggot directing it and just make an RE4 movie. Seems to be about the time for it.

>>717802795
he also knew/defended the guy who owned comet pizza and is related to ronald raegan

>>717802673
The second book, Caliban Cove, is about Rebecca Chambers, the sole survivor of Bravo Team, joins a new S.T.A.R.S. strike force when rumor comes of another Umbrella experiment: hidden beneath the rocky cliffs of Caliban Cove, Maine, someone is building an army of the undead. Within a sinister lighthouse, through a complex maze of sea caves, inside the shell of a sunken shipwreck.
The fourth, Underworld, is about Leon, Claire, and the survivors of the Caliban Cove incident. Traveling to Europe to rendezvous with the other surviving S.T.A.R.S. members for further operations against Umbrella. While in the air, their plane is redirected by the mysterious Trent, an enigmatic figure who has been guiding and manipulating events throughout the entire series of novels. Arriving instead at a facility in Utah.

>>717803094
None of which surprises me at this point. I mainly feel bad for the other two who weren't shabbos sociopaths and actually cared about Trevor. They don't even seem concerned with their careers continuing at this point, they're more broken than the MDE guys

>>717803296
yep. its over for them. I wonder if mars will ever actually come out

>>717792702 (OP)
are you serious? i have to get constant articles and reels about how this faggot apparently obsessively plays the games and the movie is going to be a love letter but none of the characters are in it? at least Weapons and Barbarian were excellent movies.

>>717802789
In a 2017 interview, Jovovich confirmed that Capcom's characters can't die without Capcom's permission. Additionally, I don't have a source for this, but the decision to rewrite Jill into Alice was caused by Shinji Mikami not wanting them to use Jill in a movie. (Mikami also suggested they change the monster creature into a licker.)

Capcom have script approval rights. So you can't make an RE movie unless they agree to the script, and the sticking points tend to be things involving their characters.

>>717804414
>at least Weapons and Barbarian were excellent movies.
kys

>>717804414
People need to understand (because they've been in denial for years) that the director of the original RE films was an obsessive fan of the games who got the gig because he was a fan, and he was so in love with the games that he tried to make an RE movie without being able to secure the rights, and the studio found out and offered him the rights because they were sick of Romero.

>>717804414
What is it with these directors insisting with going in a different direction? Not to say original stories about established IP's. But the Resident Evil series have never delivered in its prior adaptations. Putting Alice on a pedestal in the films. The "Zootopia porn" line in the Netflix series. Seriously, what is it that's so difficult about following the original premises? I know it could be boring to do a one to one recreation. You can take liberties on that front but at least respect the material, characters, and overall plot. The SD Perry novelizations got that down mostly. More than any adaptaions thus far.

>>717804581
To be a fly on the wall, this is probably the reason why there isn't any characters in the new film.

>>717804695
>What is it with these directors insisting with going in a different direction?
because it's gonna be a propaganda vehicle first and foremost

>>717804695
>The "Zootopia porn" line in the Netflix series.
qrd?

>>717804780
You might as well make your own IP. I've never seen Cregger's body of work but from what I hear he's decent at directing horror movies. Could've simply made a zombie movie of his own.

he's not. he sold out to get in the position he's in now and his movies are fucking terrible

>>717804946
I'm simply reiterating what I heard online. What's the background on this guy?

>>717804695
i don't really know where i would go with it personally. i think RE2 is probably the best story to translate directly to film, but i think that Zach Cregger in particular likes to write his movies.. i don't think it's so insane to think that you COULD write a new story that has at least some of the franchise's characters. the characters are why i love the games so much

>>717793656
>Leon's story
so he's a re4fag

>>717792702 (OP)
Aren't his horror movies artsy character drama crap? Why does Capcom think this is a good fit?

>>717805064
>the characters are why i love the games so much
Same here. I'd argue they are the most iconic parts of this franchise outside of the monsters. Never in the prior films have we got a proper introduction to said characters in this medium. Which is a shame considering these characters could easily be beloved by casual audiences that have never played the series.

>>717805120

complete and utter artificial hype but whatever you need to tell yourself. oh your views align with the fucking ny times? cool faggot. why is this no name faggot whose career died 20 years ago suddenly the hotttest horror director in town except his movies aren't fucking scary?

cool, dude. real original and edgy. Barbarian was terrifying as someone who isn't scared by a lot of horror. Weapons didn't scare me, but it didn't need to. Good horror movies don't need to scare the shit out of you. The VVitch is a good example.

>>717805745
Perhaps but I still wouldn't be satisfied and most people watching will be unaware to who the character is anyway. At the very least don't make the OC donut steel of this film a Mary Sue/Gary Stu.

>>717805193
>Never in the prior films have we got a proper introduction to said characters in this medium.
Bearing in mind they can't allow them to be the leads because it creates problems, what was wrong with how the original movies introduced said characters?

>>717805745
>totally agree. it's copium but maybe he's lying and we'll get a cameo at least
Details leaked ages ago. It has no game characters in it. It's set in the modern day. It ignores the games. The ending is basically Dying Light: The Following.

I use too want a faithful adaption but Wesker and Ada being double agents is so well and widely known at this point that a straight adaption which hinges on that as a big twist revelation would suck. They could have done a faithful adaption in the 2000 but everyone knows evil sunglasses guy now.

>>717806093
>>717806093

What problems?

Because they played second fiddle to Alice. Always upstaging them with her overpowered abilities and what not.

>>717793656
>sidelined all the characters people liked to make a star vehicle for his wife.
Based. Who can blame him when his wife is Mila Jovović?

>>717806281
I don't know, you could have simply cast her as Jill.

>>717806252

you absolutely do not understand horror. please go back /tv/ or reddit and stay there.
>>717805841
it's not

>>717806150
sauce?

>>717806256
>What problems?
The exact problems Alice was created to avoid. Capcom can randomly prevent you using them. Capcom can demand major plot changes. Capcom won't let them have sex. Capcom won't let them die. Capcom won't let them do anything bad. That's why in RE: Retribution, Jill basically does nothing. Because they won't allow Jill to be a murderer onscreen. (It is also rumoured that Capcom vetoed a planned twist in The Final Chapter (before the budget cuts and rewrites) where it would be revealed that Jill was a double agent working for Wesker since Apocalypse.)

So you have to treat Capcom's RE characters in a way where you can just write them out of sequels if you get into a disagreement with Capcom, which is exactly what the movies did.

>>717806150
>It's set in the modern day. It ignores the games. The ending is basically Dying Light: The Following.
What the hell is the point then?

>>717806486
I know a guy who read the script and he gave a lot of details about it. Basically Bryan is infected by one of tentacle monsters, and is turning into a tentacle monster by the time he reaches the hospital. He ends up killing all the scientists, and then howls at the moon or whatever as the camera pulls back and we see Raccoon City in the distance. Very similar to the non-nuke ending from Dying Light's DLC.

>>717806569
>I know a guy
come on, man. there's no way that script is even finished at this point.

>>717806535
because it's safe for the retard director to smuggle his dogshit script into an existing ip

>>717806504
So Capcom is the problem.

>>717806504
>The exact problems Alice was created to avoid.
So now we just have some randy taking center stage. Not exactly what I'm looking forward to in an adaptaion of Resident Evil. That's like if I'm going to see a film about I don't know, Batman. But instead it focuses on some made up character fighting crime.

>>717806661
Among a myriad of other things.

>>717806661
Couldn't the studios just simply follow the material? Don't write the characters being out of character or killing them off for no reason.

>>717806598
NTA but some of these scripts, at least in draft form, exist for a long time before films start production. Studios sit on scripts and treatments for decades sometimes. Famously, the entire Die Hard series are just re-writes of existing scripts which get dusted off and punched up a bit once the money looks like it's coming through.

I miss Trevor

>>717806598
I don't know when the draft is dated from, but it's by Zach Cregger and Shay Hatten (the and instead of & means that it was written separately).

Theory time. Shay Hatten possibly wrote the RE script under another name, and then Cregger rewrote it into an RE film. Remember that Hatten also wrote Ballerina, which was retooled into a John Wick film. I'm not saying this is the case, but the credit on the script implies that Hatten wrote a screenplay and then Cregger updated it.

>>717806661
It's complex, because Capcom have reasons to be super protective of their brand. There is a misalignment because what Capcom want/need for their status-quo oriented videogame franchise, and what filmmakers want to do in order to make an interesting film.

>>717806916
>Theory time. Shay Hatten possibly wrote the RE script under another name, and then Cregger rewrote it into an RE film.
obviously.
>>717806610

>>717806809
Again, Capcom has to agree on it.
Everything becomes a problem, thus it is no surprise that so many of their former video game developers have left.

>>717793347
Kkkkkk

>>717806726
It's more like Mission Impossible replacing the OG cast with Tom Cruise's OC and then turning the hero of the original show into a traitor and killing him. But instead of shooting Jill in the face, we have Jill telling Alice how much more awesome and cool she (and every other female character in the RE films) is constantly giving her "fuck me" eyes.

zach is the most hello fello gamers motherfucker I've ever seen in my life. 0 hope for this.

>>717806809
>Couldn't the studios just simply follow the material?
Because the material isn't very good, for the most part. Resident Evil isn't a case where you have this incredibly well written material just waiting to be turned into a movie version with minimal changes. Maybe the closest was RE7.

>>717806504
>>where it would be revealed that Jill was a double agent working for Wesker since Apocalypse.

Agree with everything expect this part.
It would resemble Wesker's mansion incident too much, and that would be repeating the same thing.

>>717805537

Doesn't this dude shove his potato bitch wife into everything he makes?

>>717807103
I said it before and I'll say it again. The SD Perry novelizations managed to make a faithful adaptaion all the while taking some liberties that weren't so out of left field. Unlike what we've seen in the prior movies.

>>717806990
In terms of tone and structure it's sorta like RE4+Evil Dead+1917+AvP Requiem. I think it'll probably be a good movie, but it will ignite a lot of debate about the perception of the PWSA movies as being "unfaithful" because those films did attempt in various ways to capture the odd camp yet "cool" tone of the games, and this is a whole other kettle of fish.

>>717806978
Capcom and some of the film makers needs to pull their heads out their ass, as they need to find a common ground somewhere.

>>717807220
The SD Perry novels don't necessarily translate well to films. The thing is, a lot of book to film adaptations change things for the same reasons.

>>717807235
>I think it'll probably be a good movie
that makes one of you. couple more it might make hundreds of dollars

>>717807313
It's just easier to make new characters and maybe give game characters some cameos. Why bother making a movie about Jill and Birkin when it can be Alice and Isaacs?

>>717807542
what do you work for the fucking studio you faggot?

>>717807427
It'll have a serious marketing push so I could see it easily hitting 150M, especially off the back of Weapons. Whether it'll leg out depends on the movie.

>>717807637
>It'll have a serious marketing push
we're aware >>717807542

>>717807415
Fair enough, although I think it would make an easier transition to live action than the games themselves seem to. At the very least it could be structured into a tv miniseries. Then again not too trustworthy of Hollywood in any capacity. Maybe I'm just screaming into the void at this rate.

Anderson just did whatever the fuck he felt like doing. The movies have no coherence at all. But, they made money.
Now on a different topic
Are there any movies out there that have evoked in (you) the same feelings you get while playing RE?
Hell, Dead Rising as a series is way easier to adapt, and all of the movies sucked absolute ballz.

>>717808010
>Anderson just did whatever the fuck he felt like doing. The movies have no coherence at all. But, they made money.
Yes, unfortunately so. I think even with Cregger's new approach it will still be more of the same. We still got Sony and Constantin Films producing it.
>Are there any movies out there that have evoked in (you) the same feelings you get while playing RE?
Not even remotely.

>>717808010
>Anderson just did whatever the fuck he felt like doing. The movies have no coherence at all. But, they made money.
Upon reflection, are the games really that different? It seems like Capcom genuinely don't give a shit and just use the constant time jumps to hide the fact they don't really care about any of these plot threads they spawn.

The first movie is the only one truly good one. Seizure of Power and the laser hallway will forever be goated.

>>717792702 (OP)
I hope he makes it happier and with their mouths more open.

>>717808162
I think Extinction is very good, but maybe I'm just a sucker for its director's work.

>>717807542
There is a reason why Harry Potter films have a larger popularity among book enthusiasts. Then there are Resident Evil fans who depise the Anderson film adaptation....

>>717808156
The games are far from perfect, but the movies really flip flop around. Maybe RE9 will be a contender to being close to the Movies' retconing addiction, we'll have to see.
There's a YT video that goes "in-depth" with the transitions from movie to movie, and they all make 0 sense and usually backtrack on stuff introduced previously. Like going from RE4 > RE6 Leon and then in RE7 he's back to RE2 Leon.

I watched these movies as a kid and found them fun and the heroines cute. I don't know why people cry so much.

>>717808352
Resident Evil is not Harry Potter.

>>717808563
If you take them as nothing more than a popcorn flick then of course. But if you enjoyed the games and were interested in seeing something faithful to the source material. You can see why people would be annoyed. Same goes for any other crappy film adaptations based on other IPs.

>>717798652
I actually like the premise.

I'm against the idea of the RE movies having the classic characters.

>>717809238
>I'm against the idea of the RE movies having the classic characters.
Why is that?

>>717809238
I mean you could adapt stuff like Outbreak, Revelations 1 - 2, possibly the downfall of the village in 8 and the ship dlc of 7. The thing is, CAPCOM would never allow someone to make something interesting out of these scenarios.

>>717792702 (OP)
I was happy to get different new content.
people were mad they werent getting the same old content, just this time in a medium not written for.
people were mad for no good reason.
granted only the first three re movies were good.
on that note, I hated people hating movies with similar tones like the underworld series.
it was as if re fans were a bunch of normies who hated nerdy movies.

>>717809415
Because we don't really need a live action retelling of the Mansion incident or Birkin's lab.

I just want a movie that takes place in the Resident Evil universe but it doesn't have to revolve around Jill or Leon saving the world again.

>>717809939
>I just want a movie that takes place in the Resident Evil universe but it doesn't have to revolve around Jill or Leon saving the world again.
We got plenty of them. Also what is with the spacing between sentences?

>>717808960
Sure......

The point I was making was that fans of the Harry Potter books had their movie adaptation, which was well received and a box office success. Fans received their Harry Potter persona with name, still intact and true to the texts. They did not go into the film surprised to see Harold Pauler as the main character, who lived in a one-bedroom flat above a synagogue and found magic.With his extraordinary magic, he didnt suffer for, he defeats the villain and can sumersault over twelve bank trolls to get his gold. That film would have been dreadful and received low marks, while the director tells us it was ahead of it's time.

Maybe the Resident Evil movie arent like the Harry Potter films.....

>>717793347

>>717810084
Harry Potter is well suited to being turned into a children's film. The Resident Evil games have terrible plots and characters.

>>717794027
You talking to a mirror

>>717811335
>The Resident Evil games have terrible plots and characters.
Not like the films are any better, nothing you can say otherwise. They are absolutely incoherent.

I remember watching The Final Chapter on a plane. I had never experienced motion sickness but the combined shaking of everything made me throw up.

>>717811335
It tells the story of a child growing into a young adult, with adult themes like magic, murder, mystery, and the supernatural. To be honest, it does not treat the children/readers as stupid; instead, it portrays a guy growing up in a world that attempts to destroy him. Only the "child" series has performed better than the Resident Evil movie. KEK!

Plus, we know Shinji Mikami can not write a narrative to save his life, and someone else helped create the memorable sections of Stars. Yet some argue that a story is unnecessary in video games. KEK!

>>717811715
Tell me you got a barf bag or got to the bathroom before regurgitating at least?

Got to the bathroom. Can't remember what was the exact scene but it was so shakey while constantly cutting while the screen was shaking with the plane.

>>717811715
Hey, WEBM guy where are ya?

>>717812019
Well that's a relief, sorry you had to experience that. Though it is lucky you've never experience motion sickness prior. I remember suffering through that constantly during childhood. I could hardly go any roller coaster rides. And any long car rides were just miserable for me.

WHERE

>>717813468
need to find an old torrent
new bluray releases dont have it nor do most new torrent uploads
you may have to, god forbid, sale the virus ridden pirate bay for an old working torrent, or even limewire

That sounds really good. Are these stories officially connected to the games?

The transition between directors was so seamless I only learned upon reading this post that anderson didn't make the first one.

>>717792702 (OP)
Directors who have gotten $20 million upfront and 20% of first-dollar gross:
>Peter Jackson for King Kong (after the LotR trilogy)
>Christopher Nolan from Dunkirk onward (after the Dark Knight trilogy, Inception and Interstellar)
>Zach Cregger for Resident Evil (after Barbarian grossed $45 million and Hollywood folks read the script for Weapons)
Gets the ol noggin joggin

>>717792702 (OP)
Let's talk about Zach Cregger. Did he kill his costar and best friend to gain the ability to work in hollywood as a director?

No, but they are still worth a read. Granted your mileage may very with Perry's liberties. They really do flesh out the characters, brimming with personality that set them apart. Plus they go into depth about their backgrounds. Particularly in the first book. You see the daily life of the S.T.A.R.S members as they navigate the mystery behind the Arklay killings before reaching the mansion.

wow look at that, an RE movie using the RE cast

>>717808010
>Are there any movies out there that have evoked in (you) the same feelings you get while playing RE?
I'm gonna say Evil Dead

video game devs go to hollywood to commision a movie adaptation thinking its gonna be the coolest thing ever
>hollywood thinks games are kiddy toys and they can do better job at portraying the stories
thats not how different mediums work
>they think games are stupid and so their stories must be bad and any movie adapted from a game must suck so they dont give too much budget and time and care to the movies
if you do that, the movie will end up sucking
>the movie that was carelessly made ends up sucking and making no money and panned by fans and critics alike, fans hate it cause its bad, critics hate it cause its bad and video games
the same thing happens to cartoon and book adaptations
lotr happened as it did cause jackson was a nerd and harry potter was good cause the author had fuck you money
I weep for the avatar adaptation, one piece adaptation and artemis fowl adaptation
such tragedies much waste

I wish RE3(film) & RE6(film) were never made from the start
Terrible coordinating and Bloated Milla due to pregnancy almost made me puke

>>717792702 (OP)
I wish we could go back to movies being more important than games so that movie adaptations can be good again like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Doom, etc.
Nowadays adaptations are made by spineless nerds who suck off fans and make nonsensical trash just to stay "faithful" to a fucking video game story.

>>717797316
nowhere near the screen presence that Mila has, fuck off contrarian zoomer

>>717814337
Didn't you ever wonder why the CG films are so fucking boring story-wise?

>>717815604
The only "good" one of that period was Silent Hill. Maybe even the first Mortal Kombat. Anything else was utter trash.

>>717816032
As if the live action films were any more gripping in terms of storytelling.

Thanks, I'll search for it on torrent leech. I remember seeing at least one nipple in the new versions.
