Thread 717882914

This PCP chugging hack director is making the next Resident Evil movie and says he wants to make it "accurate to the original games". Thoughts?

Never heard of him. I just want best girl Ada.

his favorite RE is 4 though

Weapons was a cool movie

>>717883605
How does it compare to his directorial debut?

>>717883686
Havent seen it, I'm a horror fan so I just saw Weapons and Barbarian (which was alright, I really liked Justin Wong in that movie).

I unironically enjoy the Paul WS Anderson films despite their deviation from the source material and the overuse of Jovovich as a quasi mary sue protagonist.

>Justin Wong
The fighting game nigga that got parryfucked by Daigo is an actor now?

Jill's pits poster where you at

>>717883980
>Wong
I clearly meant Long kek Ive been drinking with my cat

yeah, but a gallon?

>>717883686
watched the trailer and it looks exactly like a parody movie within a WKUK sketch

>>717884042
i guess you can say you were wong

>>717883879
So? You want a medal?

making it an original story is the right move. Trying to make Jill or Chris into characters that can carry a 90 minute movie would not work.

>>717884497
Trying to adapt a video game into a 90 minute movie is just dumb. Silent Hill made this work for the first half and then tried to shove 7 hours of lore into the second half of the film which is where it went to shit. I think Fallout worked because it was an "original" story and took place over like 8 hours of screentime (I forgot how many episodes there were).

>>717882914 (OP)
every shit ass attempt at adapting this franchise to live action has prattled on about how much they respect the games or whatever. they never do of course.

>>717882914 (OP)
I have NO fucking clue who that is, and I ssuspect I don't care. What's his track record and what's his favorite RE?

>>717882914 (OP)
The games aren't even accurate to the games anymore also >>>/tv/ fucking tourist

>>717884824
He was part of The Whitest Kids You Know comedy group and made Barbarian and Weapons, the latter of which released last Friday and has gotten really good reviews

>>717884464
Yes.

>>717884824
He directed Barbarian and Weapons and he's got a gallon of PCP.

>>717884989
A gallon? I didn't even know it came in liquid form.

The games are insanely derivative and adapting a bunch of shit ripped off from previous horror movies into another horror movie is dumb as fuck.

>>717885070
Science.

>>717885135
How'd they get away with it?

>>717885135
>>717885364
*sucks teeth*
he cute

>>717884824
He killed Trevor Moor

>>717884497
It worked for the CGI movies

>>717884497
If I remember right, it's going to be an original story set between RE 1 and 2 when the outbreak is starting.

>>717882914 (OP)
He's just going to be making something entirely similar to RE9 and thus redundant. Hollywood can't into 'Regular person somehow comes out on top against hordes of monsters' without giving them some stupid Mary Sue abilities to make it 'actiony' to lure in the normies and so it will sell in China.

>>717884953
Tough luck, consoomer.

His movie will hopefully just be a new Outbreak style story in a movie instead of a game. Just some new characters trying to survive the Raccoon City disaster.

>>717886531
It's not.

Is seven hot dogs a day a lot?

>>717886209
The CGI movies sucked too, so not really.

>>717887137
Its heavily processed so probably isnt good for your colon.

I can take care of ur colon just 4 da nite~

>>717887281
faggot

>Thoughts?
I've read the script and his film is less like the games than any Paul W.S. Anderson movie. Even stuff like Extinction, set in a post-apocalyptic hellscape, still felt thematically connected to the RE series by having Umbrella sitting in their underground bunker being complete retards and trying to rule the world. This reboot script feels like they took a Shay Hatten horror movie script and then retrofitted it with Resident Evil words.

It's nothing like the previous films.
It's nothing like the games.
It could be very, very good. But some people will be forced to apologize to Anderson over the whole "spirit of the source material" thing.

>>717882914 (OP)

This guy? Man Hollywood must really be desperate.

>If I remember right, it's going to be an original story set between RE 1 and 2 when the outbreak is starting.
No, it's set in the modern day, nothing from the games happened, and ending is basically pic related. Some people keep insisting that it's like Fallout or Monster Hunter where the movie and games are part of some shared canon. This isn't like that. It's exactly like the PWSA movies, and it's shocking the number of people online refusing to accept that because they think the director of Weapons is more prestigious than the director of Event Horizon.

>>717887534
Where can you read the script?

>>717883686
>How does it compare to his directorial debut?

Vastly superior. Its genuinely a good film. I love WKUK but Miss March was a stinker.

>>717887779
There's also a handful of retards still insisting it's a Resident Evil 0 adaptation for some unknown reason.

>>717887871
Afraid I can't help there. It's floating around, though. A friend shared a copy with me, but I agreed not to share it. I can talk about it, though. I've seen some other people on Reddit who have copies, and some are accusing Cregger of reskinning an unrelated horror movie under the RE brand, which is a touch unfair, but I think people are just disgruntled because a lot of early stuff talked about how "faithful" it was going to be, and it turns out to Cregger that means something very different.

>>717882914 (OP)
How many times are you going to make this thread?

>>717882914 (OP)
He better make it happier and everyone has their mouths wide open

>>717882914 (OP)
Oh, this? It's a gallon of T-virus.

>>717882914 (OP)
As long as it's better than the dogshit Anderson movies it should be fine.

>>717888360
Wow a whole gallon? Huh

>>717883575
>his favorite RE is 4 though
Grim. The only good RE games are 2,3 and 5.

>>717885135
thats quite obviously darren

>>717882914 (OP)
An accurate RE movie would be terrible.

Zach can make make a movie, a succulent Resident Evil movie, but his Resident Evil will never be cinema.

>>717882914 (OP)
>Paul keeps samefagging his thread and replying to himself

>>717888790
Ada sexo.

He's planning on making original characters just in the RE setting. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable compromise to me since the first RE movie is the only good one.

Weapons is basically just Cregger throwing shit at a wall, and the film fails to come together in a satisfying way because he basically made it all up as he went along instead of having a plan.

In other words, he's the perfect director for a Resident Evil film.

>>717889307
What the fuck is this? I stopped watching the Anderson shit after the third movie (K-Mart is my wife)

>>717889743
Resident Evil: Retribution. Paul kinda lost control during production and the studio chopped the shit out of it and made him add a bunch of ADR and then refused to release his director's cut even though they kinda promised him they would but it's absolutely fire when it comes together.

>>717882914 (OP)
I hope he means re 5

>>717890476
It's not based on any RE game. It's a completely original story (likely based on an unrelated screenplay) where a courier gets stranded outside the city and has to find his way to a remote hospital on foot, and there's tentacle monsters.

>>717889743
Kino, that's what it is.

>>717882914 (OP)
I'm fine with it. He isn't going to use any existing characters so whatever story he tells will probably be about Umbrella or new characters dealing with the Outbreak. Pretty kino desu, I respect this approach.

He doesn't appear to be a complete fucking idiot and is a decent director so I'm thinking it could probably be good.

>>717882914 (OP)
**Test**

>>717893818
Test

>>717882914 (OP)
Haven't seen Weapons yet but Barbarian was great. Kinda sad he has to make a Resident Evil movie next.

>>717882914 (OP)
He sacrificed Trevor for this?

>>717882914 (OP)
Nope, it work work.

You know this 2021 movie? The director also wanted make AN ABSOLUTE PERFECT resident evil, but then, the producers got too hands-on with the production and changes tons of things, including the inclusion of arab leon
The director looked so defeated during an interview before the premier...

>>717894338
>but Barbarian was great
Great? It was okay. I don't know if I'd say it was "great".

>>717888861

Who's this "Paul" and how many other four letter skitzo posters are there?

>>717882914 (OP)
they're gonna raceswap characters, no chance it being "accurate"

>>717883879
Those movies were very successful so I dont see how this is an outsider opinion
