New Resident Evil movie in production, to release in 2012

According to a Box Office Mojo report, a new Resident Evil movie is currently in production and already has a release date – September 14, 2012.

The untitled movie will be the fifth in the RE series, and will come with 3D support.
Last year’s Resident Evil Afterlife, was, by far, the highest grossing RE movie ever made, generating over $236 million in revenue, which is “about as much as the first three movies combined,” the site observed.
Most of Afterlife’s success was due to the movie supporting 3D viewing, as nearly 80 percent of the movie’s domestic revenue came from its 3D screenings, according to the report.
The movie will be produced by Sony pictures and will release two years after Afterlife, the shortest gap between two Resident Evil movie releases so far.
Capcom appears to be increasingly enamoured with the silver screen: a Devil May Cry movie is also reported to be in production.

The resident evil movies got dramatically worse with each one that came out. I watched the 4th one like O_O....................what is goin on?????????

Im a zombie geek so il defiantely watch this film, even though i know its gunna be terrible. Its another example that films based on games just never work. Tho in the case of resident evil the movies dont really follow any of the games too heavily. Just borrow characters and scene elements from it.

 

[Ohri-Jin]

I agree, even though I played RE on psx etc back in the days I never was real fanatic about it so I dont really know the history and main story of RE, character wise etc,, I just know the basics.

I am a horror freak and I loves RE1 till 3 but every time its getting duller,...the last was resembling freeking The Matrix... I was quite shocked when I came across this news lmao..


Im still waiting for Silent Hill 2

you if they made the movie really survival horror type then it would be ace..but all this action and zombie slaying is not horror imo...

 

[Big Casino]

Even if you foget that its a resident evil film they still dont even sit well as action films. I couldnt call them a horror as theyre basically action films in every respect. Just with zombies.
I had all the games in the past and was always pretty into them so i was dissapointed that the film franchise was so poor, not that i expected much else mind.
The 4th one was dumb...she gets made human but still goes flying off buildings and crazy stuff. Its just an hour and half of madness with a plot thats so thrown together its just not convining.

That bein said its a no brainer movie. Sit on the couch with some tins and a bag of doritos and ul be reasonbly entertained.

Since the Resident Evil movies are pretty boring and are getting worse with each one this is going to fail as well. I thought Degeneration was good(The cgi one). I didn't really see much of the last one though. I heard that it failed miserably though but Opinions are opinions. I don't even want to see it anyway. Also I am not to fond of Alice who isn't even character in the games..

 

[Shaissa]

Great more Resident Evil crap to destroy the already broken name. Most Resident Evil stuff is just crap now. All the movies were bleh at best. the last Resident Evil I really enjoyed was 2 in video games. I think 3 and 4 were ok, but 4 was way over rated. Then Resident Evil 5 came out, and Idk how that game could of been called Resident Evil! Honestly I think the movie will do well, but I wont like it. Just like I didn't like After Life.

 

[Bloodred]

I'm a huge fan of the games, (1-Code Veronica) but these films have had nothing to do with the game which has been disappointing. Maybe if they had they would have been decent. I've still yet to watch the 4th but it doesn't sound too good by some of the comments.

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

It has a title now. Resident Evil: Retribution.

I'm looking forward to the movie. I'm a huge nerd when it comes to these movies and love them to pieces.

Alot of people complain about them, but I think that's mostly due to the fact they've played the actual games, whereas I have not. >.<

Milla Jovovich is my favourite actress so I love that they keep making these movies and keeping her on the screen. XD

 

[Rapture]

I'm a fan of the Resident Evil movies as well, however as has been said, I've noticed a definite decline in the quality of the movies as of recent. Its almost like they've run out of material or something because the movies are getting to the point where its like "okay lets just run from point A to point B and see how many trip ups we can throw in there and make you guess who is going to survive to the end of the movie!"

The last one was the worst abuser of this concept. ...and I did see this in 3D. It was the first 3D movie I've ever seen and I was not impressed. Whatever. I'm a zombie fan so I'll still end up buying it when it comes out, but I doubt I'll go to see it in the theatre.

I want some of the old cast back though and I really think that's whats killing these movies for me. I loved the cast from the 2nd movie and I wish they could get some of them to come back for this one...like Jill Valentine. The casts are just getting so weird and It's almost like should I even bother getting attached to their lackluster background stories because they are just going to die anyways

@Stella Nox Fleuret


Jill Valentine is coming back!

Apparently the following cast is starring:

Cast


Milla Jovovich ... Alice
Kevin Durand ... Barry Burton
Michelle Rodriguez ... Rain Ocampo
Sienna Guillory ... Jill Valentine
Johann Urb ... Leon S. Kennedy
Bingbing Li ... Ada Wong
Oded Fehr ... Carlos Oliviera
Shawn Roberts ... Albert Wesker
Boris Kodjoe ... Luther West

AHMAHGOD Carlos is coming back. <3

They better not be screwing with me. <_<

Can't see how Rain could come back seeing as she died in the first one. 0_o. There must be some weird twist to the storyline of this movie.

 

[Rapture]

For the first time ever it appears someone who is going to make a movie has read my mind

That's so exciting then!

I think the first and second movies really had the best casts...after that I didn't really care for them too much. Ashanti, really?

So maybe I will end up liking this. I hope so. I'll still like it no matter what but I really think the casts make a difference, and lets be honest, I think the one in the most recent movie was quite abysmal

...anyways, thanks for the good news girl

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

It was nearly over for me when Carlos died in the third one.

I didn't think it could go on after that. I mean I love Alice but I love Carlos too. <3

I'm glad to see that apparently he's coming back?

The after credits scene of Resident Evil Afterlife for those who didn't wait for the credits to end: XD

Jill looks way better with long blonde hair. Suits her.

 

[TheMixedHerb]

Paul Anderson, why do you hate me so?

Please stop. Each movie is just turning more and more into the adventures of Alice (I know I said something similar in the other thread but this won't stop me), yes, I understand people like these movies. Yes, I understand that they make quite a bit of money, they aren't bad movies (ish), RE movies? No.

Anderson just decided that if he threw in a few namesakes and a virus then it's automatically Resident Evil, well it's not. He keeps trying to put little twists on things to make things interesting when it just makes it even sillier.

A true Resident Evil film would stay true to the roots, full of suspense, quick shocks and horror. To be fair the first two movies had a go at this and it wasn't bad, but since then it's just turned into an action fest.

Oh, I'm sorry, a 3D slow motion action fest. Where are all the main characters we all love so much? Oh they're just being shoved in containers while Alice does all the work, 'kay. Okay let's kill Wesker, oh wait why doesn't he just use his super human speed to get o- no he's dead.

Oh wait is that a parachute? Lolsequel. I have yet to see any of the characters from the games do anything remotely as action packed as Alice has. She always finds a way to take the spotlight, and no amount of references to the games will change how annoying that is.

Tl;dr - Nerdy RE game fan rant.

 

[Izanagi]

I feel for you and your pain. I've since lost respect of the movies ever since Afterlife implied some use of bullshit psychic powers. I disaprove this crap and how they're constantly making Alice the fucking big shot when it should be Chris and the others who were sidelined thanks to this crappy excuse of an original character.

And by the way, 10 points says she will not survive the MvC series. Hell even the real Nemesis in the video games can pound her to the ground.

 

[Ohri-Jin]

So Michelle Rodriguez is coming back?
I loved RE till 3 and then it turned shitty..

Carlos died in an explosion with his last cig (epic scene)...why is he coming back?

Bring me Silent Hill 2 *jizzles*

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

^^ I know right.

When I saw him in the new cast and that he was playing the same role as before I was like. 0_o

I can understand Michelle Rodriguez coming back as Rain after only getting shot in the head as a Zombie. It's possible someone could have injected antivirus into her for whatever reason and made her all better etc etc.

But Carlos? He was blown up? Unless they decide to elaborate on that scene in the fifth movie and show how he miraculously escaped or something, I have no idea how anyone could survive that. 0_o

I really wanna see a trailer so I get a better idea of everything already!

EDIT: Just read this on this site

Rain will return in Resident Evil: Retribution, along with One in a flashback sequence.

Carlos will return in the upcoming Resident Evil: Retribution through a flashback sequence along with Rain Ocampo and James "One" Shade again played by Oded Fehr.

This is poo. How dare they get my hopes up.

Thx for clearing that up and crushing my hope
flashback only....

It makes sense though hahaha. I may have assumed they could have come back as enemies. Mutated zombies or something, but alas.

I wish they would put more scary zombies in the new movie. Like the scariest mutated zombies we've ever seen. Lickers and the like.... Nemesis ... bring it on Umbrella corp!

Can't see how Rain could come back seeing as she died in the first one. 0_o. There must be some weird twist to the storyline of this movie.

Yea I saw this and was like "WTF RAIN?!?!" lol She was my favorite character in the movies and she died...But then again she did get injected with the cure. Maybe when she turned into a zombie the cure brought her back to life after she was shot in the head? that or it's flashback time

The peak of the movie was the second film. The acting since then has just been outright dreadful. I'll be glad to see Jill back though. I honestly look at the games and the movies as two separate things as they should be. What I absolutely hate about the plot of the movies is that the fourth one showed that they're just pulling shit out of their asses and throwing it into the plot. I mean Alice is human all of a sudden and gets a random airplane from god knows where? Am I supposed to believe ALL of her clones got

Spoiler

blown up in the explosion in Tokyo

? These movies are getting so friggin plot holy. I really wanted the movies and game to exists in separate universes. It's not helping that characters from the game are all of a sudden showing up in the movies

I personally have been missing the adorable little british girl in the second movie. I was hoping they'd make her some badass zombie slayer but it doesn't look like she's ever coming back o.o.

Sadly they are only coming back in the fifth via flashbacks.

I mean Alice is human all of a sudden and gets a random airplane from god knows where?

I wondered where that airplane came from. It seemed to skip that part. =/

I was kinda disappointed when her powers were taken away. They were just getting good and then she's back to human again. =/

I wondered what happened to her as well. The last we see of her is in that car at the end of the second movie. Musta got eaten by zombies.

 

[Ayumi Hamasaki]

The first three movies were pretty good.

The fourth one was shit.

It was actually the first one I didn't bother going to see opening weekend, just because it looked awful even in the previews. I hope this one is better.
