Dante Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 This week at the Hollywood and Video Games Summit in Beverly Hills, we got a chance to talk to the keynote speaker, filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson. The director, famous for adapting videogames to film, talked briefly about the third movie in the Resident Evil trilogy, Resident Evil: Extinction. "My concept behind the trilogy of movies I always imagined making was: the first movie would be a prequel to the very first game. It would tell the back story of the videogame world. The second movie would be set kind of intertwined with what was happening in Raccoon City. And then the third movie would be like a post script to the world of the videogame," Anderson explained. "So the third movie, Resident Evil: Extinction is set several years in the future and it's pretty much after the Umbrella Corporation has failed to control the outbreaks of the T-Virus and the world has literally been wiped out. There's very little humanity left and a handful of human survivors are traveling around the remnants of the world in these heavily armored convoys and what they do is they go to the least populated parts of the world, because they figure that's where the least undead will be, and they travel in these heavily armored trucks and customized rolling fortresses—it's very Road Warrior--at high speed so that the undead don't get anywhere near them. So that's where the movie takes place, primarily in the deserts of Nevada and around Las Vegas. But of course, it's a Las Vegas that has kind of fallen now, because what's happened is, with no one to take care of it, the desert has come back in and half-buried Vegas. So… we built all these casinos which are sort of buried in the sand. "We built… parts of Paris [the casino]. So we built a chunk of the Eiffel Tower, but half-buried in sand. It's really spectacular." Alice: Claire Redfield: All I can say about this new film is Mad Max meets Land of the Dead = .
Kurtle Squad Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 What the fuck?!?!....We can definately say this time that this is a different Resi Universe. And it sucks.
Mr_Odwin Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 The film will most likely be rot, but Milla Jovovich is tasty as anything.
Arragaun Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Yeah and she's holding Ford's piece... ...of weaponry.
Mr_Odwin Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Yeah and she's holding Ford's piece... ...of weaponry. And you can nearly see her bottom! Hee hee!!
Dante Posted June 30, 2006 Author Posted June 30, 2006 It's terminator 2!....wait... Ali Larter as Claire in Resident Evil: Extinction = Sara Connor in Terminator 2 Jill homage to Sara Connor in Terminator 2
CoolFunkMan Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 A remake of Land of the Dead? Already? Seriously though, I read about this film earlier... and it sounds like it sucks!! I mean, Ali Larter looks nothing like Claire Redfield ffs! Mind you, the last two Resi films have been dire, so this really doesn't come as much of a suprise. I can only hope that it's slightly better the previous films (and the chances of that look slim.) On the plus side though, Milla Jovovich does look kinda hot there...
Goron_3 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 oh god no....The first two films were terrible, and now a third...*shivers*
CoolFunkMan Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 oh god no....The first two films were terrible, and now a third...*shivers* You think it's bad that they're making a third now, but I'm sorry to say that I've heard talk of a 4th Resi film. *shiver x2*
Platty Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Oh man, i know a lot of you hate the other 2 RESI films but i liked them but as for this....damn what a crock of crap. I agree it sounds basically like Land of the dead however ill prob still go see it knowing me.
ViPeR Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 All I can say is "Thank god it's a trilogy so he can't make any more". Surely Capcom has a say in where they want the Resident Evil series to go considering it must be set after RE5 at least.
CoolFunkMan Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Oh man, i know a lot of you hate the other 2 RESI films but i liked them but as for this....damn what a crock of crap. I do admit, I can be an elitest with this stuff. I really don't like the RE films because, imo, they don't really follow the games enough. Sure, they did follow RE3 in the second film, but they screwed it up by having Alice in there. And the outcome with Nemesis, what was with that!?! I've been reading the RE books by S.D Perry, and think they are brilliant adaptions. I really think that the films should have been more direct adaptions of the games and that the books would have made for excellent reference material. Infact, if the books are adapted enough they could easily make a great scripts. Better than all this tripe that Paul W.S Anderson is coming up with, and that's another thing they need - better directors/producers.
Ramar Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Oh man, i know a lot of you hate the other 2 RESI films but i liked them but as for this....damn what a crock of crap. I like them too. But I thought the second was worse than the first, and I thought they should've left it there. Seems like they've proven me right.
Babooo Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Looks terrible. Haven't wached any of the Resident Evil movies and I don't think I ever will.
Zygo Ape Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Did the Resi Evil films actually make enough money to warrant sequals? Never seen them so i cant knock them but going by Media reviews and opinions of guenuine RE fans, i think ill leave this trash alone.
BeerMonkey Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 not gunna judge until i see it milla looks stunning in pic thou
gaggle64 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 The first wasn't so great, the second was appalingly bad, and neither had anything in common with the games. Apparently the Resi films are Sony Pictures' second most succesful film series (behind Spiderman) which is possibly some kind of sick joke God must be playing on us. Anderson could at least play the goddamn games before making the films, maybe even go nuts and spend some decent cash on a good script and a half-arsed makeup crew. Also, Jovovich is getting way too slutty for me with all these video-game-hoe roles she's doing these days. Why can't they just have a female heoine who isn't a hoar? Rapping her in toilet paper was all very well, but at least Luc Besson allowed her a bit of class and dignity. I mean, SHE CAN ACT, y'know. Remember Run Lola Run? Now that was hot.
Ramar Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Am I the only one that doesn't find Milla Jovovich attractive.
Shino Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Am I the only one that doesn't find Milla Jovovich attractive. No, you're not. She's a plank... and an ugly one too.
