Next Resident Evil Movie Kicks Off New Film Trilogy, Will Be Released in 3D

Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth live-action film based on Capcom's popular survival horror game franchise, is to kick start another trilogy of Resident Evil movies, writer and director Paul W.S. Anderson tells ShockTillYouDrop.

"I don't regard it as Resident Evil 4, I regard it as a re-tooling and rebirth of the entire franchise," Anderson explained. "I wanted to kick off a brand new trilogy."

The director further revealed that the 2010-due, Milla Jovovich-starring flick will utilize stereoscopic 3D and "the same camera system [James] Cameron used for Avatar," and will also have a larger budget than any of his past Resident Evil movies.

The only way another RE movie should be made is if they

1. Get rid of Anderson and hire a good director.

2. Get rid of Jovovich.

I resisted the series for so long once I saw how the material was layed out. I finally broke down and watched the first and enjoyed it. The second one was kind of meh and they made Nemesis seem lame but the third was decent. This is rare with video game movies that stray from the original material. In this case I think it's fine because it's set in the the RE universe and makes it's own storyline. It's not as though the game material is remotely coherent.

Looking forward to the fourth.

If I wanted an elaborate plot I would read a science fiction novel.
The trilogy was fine as an action flick rental. Hardcore gamer's opinions should be disregarded anyway since they don't know how the Hollywood business works.

I really wish people would stop spending money on these movies. There is absolutely nothing redeemable about them, other than their ability to generate revenue. In fact, they're almost embarrassing because this reflects mainstream America's opinion of your average gamer's intellectualism/expectations. Ugh.

I enjoyed the first and third movies, actually. They weren't great, but they were dark and gritty, and--minus the occasional acrobatic martial arts, such as dear ol' Alice kicking a dog in the face--were pretty much what I wanted and expected from an RE film.

The second movie was horrible: way too cheesy and melodramatic. More Nemesis was so mistreated. :(

Everyone's bitching like crazy about these not being real "Resident Evil" movies. No one disputes that. The director wouldn't dispute that. The fact is, you probably could not make an entertaining Resident Evil film based off the games.

Instead, they've made a successful franchise of zombie action movies loosely based on some characters and premises from the games, and considering there aren't nearly enough zombie action movies out there I really wish everyone would stop bitching about how their gamer-lifestyle is being raped by these movies.

Accept them for what they are, get over the fact they have the same name, and just don't watch it if you refuse to be entertained by it.

Ah geez..

I dunno what the general opinion of the last live-action movie was, but I thought it was horrendous.

I hope Afterlife is better. But geez, Afterlife? Talk about some creative titles.
