OFFICAL Resident Evil: Apocalypse Thread

[Luke-Abbott]

Since there has been so many news posted in different threads for some time on this follow-up to last years Resident Evil movie, I thought it was a good idea to post an offical thread for this one (if I'm allowed that is).

Resident Evil: Apocalypse stars Milla Jovovich reprising her role as Alice and Eric Mabius taking on the Nemesis role. The film also stars Emily Bergl from The Rage: Carrie 2 who will be playing Claire Redfield - it is said that her role won't be a major role but will add to the playout of the entire movie.

* The story (or plot) is pretty much expected and predicable (predicable that we all knew what the films plot would be after the end of the first RE movie). The survivors try to escape Raccoon City from the hordes of zombies and other nasties inculding having a badass monster called The Nemesis on your tail. There are heaps of new characters thrown in, some strait from the game and others made up:

Jill Valentine: In her 20s, Valentine is a cop. Currently on suspension, the raven-haired Valentine is one of the few cops with experience in dealing with the Undead, and she comes back to work uninvited when Raccoon City is overrun. Tough and resourceful, she is cut off from the rest of the cops when the Undead win, and along with Sergeant Peyton Wells, she tries to find a path to safety through a town crawling with flesh-eating monsters. Along with Alice, she leads the small group of human survivors, and finds her bravery and determination challenged literally at every moment.

Carlos Olivera: Battle-hardened with dark good looks, Olivera is the head of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Force, a corporate paramilitary unit sent into combat to defend Umbrella’s interests. Ordered into Raccoon City to help fight the Undead invasion, Carlos soon finds his unit overwhelmed and cut off. Partnered with Nicholai Sokolov, Carlos joins forces with Alice, Jill, and Peyton, and together they try to fight their way out of the city. He is tough, cunning, and resourceful, as well as quite cynical about Umbrella’s willingness to abandon their employees to an ugly death. He is introduced in the “Resident Evil 3” videogame.

Major Cain: With close-cropped hair and piercing eyes, Cain is part of the paramilitary army run by the Umbrella Corporation. Under orders to contain the crisis when the Undead escape from the Hive and overrun Raccoon City, Cain proves himself to be a cold, calculating, amoral, ruthless company man, willing to sacrifice anyone and anybody. Having developed Addison/The Nemesis as the ultimate soldier, Cain sees the Undead attack as the perfect test of the capabilities of The Nemesis, and he’s icily amused to pit Alice against his bio-engineered killing machine.

Sherry Morales: A pretty gal in her 20s, Morales is the vivacious, feisty and ambitious weather reporter for a local station, who has always wanted to be taken seriously as a journalist. When the city is overrun by the Undead, Sherry is quickly taken off the air, and has to flee for her life. She falls under the protection of Alice and Valentine, and does her best to record the truth of the horrors of Raccoon City with a camcorder. Terrified but willing to do what it takes to defend herself, Sherry ultimately is attacked by a gang of Undead children, but after her death her video is aired and she acquires posthumous respect for her work.

Dr. Ashford: Beset in a wheelchair and armed with an IQ in the high hundreds, Ashford is a genius who invented a formula to develop super-humans. Possessed of a crippling neuro-muscular disease, Ashford hoped to prevent his beloved daughter, Angie, from becoming an invalid like himself. Unfortunately, his formula fell into the hands of the Umbrella Corporation, who accidentally created a hellish virus during the course of creating a super-soldier. Now left behind when the starving Undead besieges Raccoon City, Ashford uses his cunning to communicate with two teams of survivors, offering them both a helicopter flight to safety if they will only rescue his daughter. But in the end, Ashford’s genius can’t save himself. Interestingly, in the videogames, his grandson and granddaughter play a prominent role in “Resident Evil Code: V,” trying to reclaim the honor of their lineage.

Sergeant Peyton Wells:A hardened police officer, the casting notes say he’d be “the kind of man you’d trust in a bad situation.” A sergeant with the Special Tactics and Rescue Squad, Peyton works to fight the sudden invasion of flesh-eating Undead, but is bitten in the leg during a retreat. He joins forces with the suspended Jill Valentine, and together they attempt to find an escape route out of the city before the infection transforms him like all the others. A tough man who hopes that his sister and her daughter made it out of town, Peyton fights alongside Alice and the others.

Nicholai Sokolov: Carlos’ second in command, this rugged younger man bears a face that is like a roadmap. Part of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Force, he is ordered into action when the Undead overrun Raccoon City. The Russian-speaking Nicholai is shocked by the horrors on display in the city. His small unit grows steadily smaller, and he and Carlos later are cut off and join forces with Alice and Valentine. Coldly rebuffed when he tries to flirt with Alice, he is later captured by Major Cain.

Daddy Prime: A well dressed pimp daddy, he survives the first attacks of the Undead, and finds himself holed up in a gun store. Amused to find himself fighting alongside Captain Henderson, Daddy Prime uses his custom Uzis to gun down the Undead, and is miraculously spared when Nemesis wipes out the other humans at Mostly Colt. The casting notes suggest this role is currently being expanded.

McKenzie:A Scotsman in his early 30s, McKenzie is a human survivor of the plague of the Undead, who is holed up in the Ravens’ Gate Church, along with Valentine and her party. A man who is losing his grip and desperately frightened over having left his wife behind, he is only in two scenes…so you can guess what happens to him.

* Giving up the directors chair this time round, Paul Anderson will instead be producing this movie (and has also written the script). So, who is the director? Well, the honour goes to none-other than Alexander Witt.

* Although, it has not yet been confirmed: Jason Issacs may be playing the lead villian in the movie: William Birkin. Also, Jack Noseworthy (whoever he is) will be playing the helicopter pilot Brad Vickers.

* Also, From Bloody-Disgusting.com, "The Mummy" star Oded Fehr, will be playing the head of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Force, a corporate paramilitary unit. Not sure what his characters name is yet, but could it possibly be Carlos Olivera? And, Sienna Guillory is set to play Jill Valentine one of the movies main characters.

* Production on the film is set to start on August 11th.
----------------------------------------

Wow, theres loads of information there. Mostly due to some old info thats been in the old threads and some new info from many websites (Countingdown.com (http://www.countingdown.com/movies/567549) and Bloody-Disgusting.com (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/index.php?Show=216&Template=newsfull). Also, old info from the other threads like I said).

What do you schomes think? I personaly don't know if half of the cast of characters will be used in this movie but who knows. Its news and information so thats why it was added. Mostly everything is there concerning this movie.

I cannot wait for this movie, I enjoyed the first one and hopefully this will be just as good :D

[iDLEWiLD_fan]

i really loved the first film and i thought the way they ended it was amazing...one of the best endings to a film i've seen, it left me craving for more so i'm really looking forward to Resident Evil: Apocalypse :D:D:D:D:D:D

[TheJadedGamer]

Emily Bergel!? As Claire!? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is worse than having a pimp in the movie...oh fuck.

[Invincible]

2 new people have joined the cast (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/film/brief_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1937271)

[charles lee ray]

i liked the first for the most part. the only thing it needed was a little more gore. i am excited about this one.

[EDsoulsurvive*]

although i was initially pumped, im not lovin these new cast members. :rolleyes:

[Luke-Abbott]

Yeah we know, it was stated earlier. I think Oded is going to play Carlos, the description of his character sounds about the same. Now I haven't seen Sienna Guillory before so I can't judge on her acting.

[EvilDeadGirl]

I also enjoyed Resident Evil and can't wait for the next one to come out although I agree with EDsoulsurvive, on the cast members...not too sure about them.

I didn't notice the mention of Wesker! Man I loved that guy (from the game but then you guys already knew that. ;)

[Luke-Abbott]

Yeah, thats a shame Wesker aint in this one. He was a really cool character in the games, but at least we get Birkin who will be played by Jason Issacs (a Paul Anderson regular).

[Hell Phantom]

Wesker might be in part 3....Paul Anderson did state he had all three of them planned out and is hoping for a trilogy! :D

[Luke-Abbott]

If Wesker isn't in the supposed third movie then Paul has alot to answer to :mad: :D

[iDLEWiLD_fan]

i hope the zombies in this one look alot more like zombies than in the 1st

[sarah1980]

I really loved the first movie and I hope the sequal will be just as great

[EvilDeadGirl]

Luke-Abbott : If Wesker isn't in the supposed third movie then Paul has alot to answer to

Thats what I'm sayin'. If Wesker isn't in it we hunt Paul down and beat him! Whose with me?

[Terror Australis]

Not me, I can't be bothered.

[dellamorte dellamore]

Highly anticipating this one , and i'm sure it will be amazing , even better than the first , but i don't want to start complaining just yet , you know how many things change in the preproduction stage . I'll get a bit more pumped once filming actually starts .


Also , to the shmoe that loved the ending , i totally agree , the ending to the first is brillaint . There is a short list of films with such a shocking , exhilirating , creepy , effective ending that you never forget , and Res Evil is one of them .


How many films would even dare to end in such a manner , i was and am still blown away by it . And it leads into the events of the second film so flawlessly , i hope this one gets rolling soon . This and Undead will be an extremely potent " zombie " movie combo . Man , it's starting to resemble the good ol' days when a new zombie film was released with what looked like every week .


Bring on the Apocalypse . Just wish Milla had a bigger role in this , she was a big reason for the original's success .


Now if Alfred Ashford is in this one like they say , that can only mean that the second film will lead into the storyline of Code Veronica , i hope , and the whole Alexia Ashford storyline with Claire Redfiled and her Brother Chris , with the duplicitious Wesker playing Umbrella and another Biotech company against the middle .

[pyscho dude]

A pimp daddy? I don't know about this character. Probably a comic relief.

[X-Nightcrawler]

One question Ive asked since I heard the rumor: Is Famke Janssen showing up for this flick?

[Luke-Abbott]

I doubt it man, I think that was just a rumour. Now, now, wipe away those tears. Least you still get to see Milla in action.

[HorrorIsMyGod]

...

[Could Be Worse]

The first was one of my favorite horror films of 2002, and this one is starting to look to be just as good (love the plot).

[dellamorte dellamore]

Originally posted by pyscho dude

Yeah the first never resorted to comic relief ( maybe in the mildest of terms ) , and it was a huge reason the tension never let up for the entire running time , and it's one of the aspects that seperated it from horror / action in the past ten years , they all seem to have this self referencial , winking at the camera , assuming , wiseguy vibe that pervades them . RE dropped that nonsense and took the material seriously , about as seriously as you can take a mutant / zombie film . Something i don't feel is that far off , maybe it's already here , who knows , but the point is , P Anderson approached the material from a realistic viewpoint , not a fantastical sci fi , comedic angle .



Now , you should keep in mind , that there are some scenes that are left on the cutting room floor , more times than not , and scripts always go through numerous revisions and rewrites and all that other stuff . So , none of this is written in stone and it could change drastically by the time they actually start principal photography , not too mention all the changes that will be made in post production .



If the pimp guy is in this , i would imagine Mr Anderson is paying homage to Demons 1 and the character of Tony the Pimp . I always felt that he was one of the best aspects of that film and maybe this time he will live to the end , like he should have done in both Demons films . But i could see this character hurting the story as a whole , just hope i'm wrong .

[pyscho dude]

Greedy Eh? Have to have the best of both worlds eh?

[pyscho dude]

Yeah there was a pimp in Demons but he was taken seriously and there wasn't a cop in there with him.

[XCoRyX]

hmm interesting casting decisions,so as of right now we have got milla jovivich,eric mabius,emily bergyl,oded fehr & sienne gullory or whatnot?what films has this sienna chick been in?

[Luke-Abbott]

8 Days till production on this movie :)

Lets hope and wish them the best, better make it superior to the first.

[EvilDeadGirl]

It doesn't have to be superior to the first. As long as it's AS good then I'll be a happy camper. The zombies look should remain the same as I thought they did a good job with their make up in RE.

[dellamorte dellamore]

Thank you , atleast someone thought the zoms in RE looked great . And i would imagine some will look the same and some different , depending on the length of time a person has been exposed to the virus and how long they have been altered into zombie mode . They deteriorate as time passes .

Too bad little Sherry Birkin ( William Birkin's ( the creator of the G Virus ) daughter ) does not seem to be in the film .

I'm glad to see the excellent Oded Fehr in a prominent role , he has the that cheesy b movie spirit that this series needs .

[EvilDeadGirl]

That would have made the movie that much more interesting if they had put in Sherry Birkin. Could you imagine a kid having to cope with seeing all of the undead and watching some of them being blown apart. That would leave ya a little traumatized.

Anyway I trust that they are going to stay with the same zombie look. I do agree with you Dellamorte on how the zombies would look in the case of those being exposed to the virus as opposed to those that have been recently bitten.

Anyone know weither or not they are going to place the licker in the movie again? I think they should as it would make it even more difficult and interesting you know with having to also deal with the Nemisis and all.

Seeing as how this movie isn't even in production yet and the hype about it has already begun I really hope that this hype doesn't cause my expectations to rise too much.

[pyscho dude]

It be cool if serpent(the giant snake from re1) would pop up in a chase sequence tearing the town apart.

[EvilDeadGirl]

The giant snake would be kewl. Or how about that monster spider and all the little babies. Ooo I'd like to see Alice handle that nasty mess!

[Luke-Abbott]

I'm actually glad they haven't got Sherry in this, if they did most people who said the first movie was like Aliens will definitly think the same if they saw a little girl running round: Kinda like Newt, if you get me.

Anyways, I too liked the look of the zombies and hope other monsters are in this. What would be cool if Nemisis killed the snake and then went for the heroes as the snake would of done. That would of been cool IMO.

[EvilDeadGirl]

You heard people compare RE to Aliens? That seems kind of odd to me but hey man whatever floats their boats I suppose.

[Cronos]

I was really looking forward to this, i loved the first film, but after hearing that Anderson will not direct it, im not so sure, most series go down hill when other directors take over and i dont think this is a good idea

[Could Be Worse]

Spoilers for RE

OK, so Matt turns into Nemesis, and Eric Mabius is playing Nemesis. Is he going to be under heavy make up, looking mutated, or be a more CGI character who looks similar to Matt. Anyone know?

[XCoRyX]

i doubt anyone knows...i sure don't,i expect CGI

[EvilDeadGirl]

I don't know how to answer that question but I'll give it a shot. This is what I think...

They'll use "Matt" for the begining and put on heavy makup for each phase of the transformation. Then once he gets to the point where make up isn't enough they'll start usin' CGI. Thats what I THINK is going to happen anyway. >.<!

[pyscho dude]

Why don't they just get a heavy guy and apply prosthetics? It be easier than cgi.

[kombat ki]

im just gonna be happy to see NEMESIS on the big screen, he is a badass boss who doesn't understand the words no so he wont take it for an answer

[Boogeyman]

Nemesis seems hard to actually make like costume/make-up wise.

later

[Batgirl1979]

The only thing I care about regarding Nemesis is that he says
"S.T.A.R.S......." like he did in the game. Geez first time I heard that while playing I nearly shit my pants!!

[kombat ki]

when i first heard him say STAAAARS i thought he ment look up at the stars or some crap then i snapped back to reality and realized STARS was the police force

[EvilDeadGirl]

LoL look up at the stars!

Nemises is going to be great to see on the big screen but the more I think about it the more I agree with Boogeyman. IF they do put a guy in a suit or what not it's probably going to be a pain in the ass as there would be tons of prosthetics and what not. You would think that the suit would be too heavy. They'll probably go with CGI

[dellamorte dellamore]

The makeup in many films takes quite some time to apply , but that's no excuse too utilize strictly CGI for the Nemesis character . I feel , like EDG , that they will use a combo of CGI and prostethics . CGI primarily for action scenes such as when he's chasing or battling someone , and prostethics for closeups and for what most likely will be a flashback to Mathew Addison's transformation into the Nemesis at the Racoon facility . They did something like this for the scenes with the licker in the first one , they used a combination .


Also , i would imagine almost all of the familiar mutants from the games will be found in RE 2 , such as the licker , cerberus's , spiders , hunters ( this could be amazing ) , and of course the zombies .


I'm hoping the film starts again with the Umbrella logo swishing across the screen , with a brief synopsis of the events from the first film , then they segway to Alice outside the Racoon city hospital where the first film ended , and then have the action start from there .


No matter , i'm sure this one will be even better than the first , a film that actually warrants a sequel , considering the events that unfolded in the first . I can easily see this film as an amazing zombie / action / sci fi film that will complement the original in grand style . I know this is kind of early to say this , but , eat this 28 days later , this is the real zombie film that you can only aspire to be . It won't be some cheap ass ripoff shot on digital video .

[kombat ki]

dellamorte dellamore,

hmmm maybe it is a bit soon

[pyscho dude]

I agree Dellamorte they should start with the Umbrella logo but I think they should have some of the early scenes from RE3 where the swat team tries to take care of the zombies but there's just too many. But yeah nemesis will be awesome to see on the big screen. Quote from Jill from RE3 " You want S.T.A.R.S. I'll give you S.T.A.R.S.!"

[EvilDeadGirl]

Ok, so now I'm going to have to go and play the game again! Hehe

But anyway to start with the umbrella logo and then the synopsis of the first film would be fantastic. Dellamorte, I completely agree.

I think it should start from where it left off with Alice in the street holding the shot gun. Show her start walking around a bit then bam out of the bus come the Zombies! Then dun dun dun some SWAT guys show up but they end up getting over run forcing Alice into a nearby boutique. Resulting in "us" getting to see her change clothes.

I'd like to see how they are going to factor Jill, Carlos and the others into this one. I think it's going to make for a very good story.

Not to mention if they use all of those nice little mutant's from the 2nd and 3rd RE: Oh man I think I need a towel. ;)

[DaRkToOtH]

im gonna differ with most of u on this..i have an instinct feeling that nothing in the video games is gonna happen into this movie..i mean the first film ( a great one at that, dont get my wrong) had barely NOTHING to do with the video games..they just threw in the monsters and the train scene, that was about it. the queen and the hive were both made up and u only saw the mansion (biggest part of the game) for 2 freakin minutes! i have a feeling that they probbaly will throw in some new creatures from part 2..but the story line is something we really cant tell cuz who knows what hollywood is gonna do next

nuff' said

[pyscho dude]

I think Alice should become a zombie in this one and has a deadly encounter with Brad Vickers(for those who don't know Brad is a character from RE1 and 3). I don't think I'd like to see her character get mixed up with Jill and Carlos.

[BadNewsCruise]

Paul andersons original was pretty bad ass even though he pussied out on the zombie carnage..i like his direction im disapointed that he wont return for the 2nd one. i just want to see nemises kill some mother fuckers like in the game lata..R.I.P

[adamjohnson]

No first one sucked balls, especially if youre fan of the game.

I mean whats scarier than being in a house thats locked tight with zombies trying to kil lyou at every turn and not much place ot run? And they didnt do any o that shit!

The ONLY cool part was the laser room scene.

[pyscho dude]

Yeah the laser scene is the best man. Yeah I admit as a fan I was dissapointed but at least this sequel will be more truer to the games.

[EvilDeadGirl]

Let me start off by stating I'm a HUGE fan of the game. I've played them all many times and each time I enjoy myself more and more.

Although the movie was not as true to the game as most would have liked I enjoyed the movie very much. The zombies looked great, the acting was pretty good and they did a nice job on the licker. There were still little puzzles to solve like the game and what not.

I do think they should have used the mansion a lot more. The first 5 minutes of the movie with the mansion didn't really do it for me. I would have liked to seen the rest of it.

[anybodykilla100]

I enjoyed the first film i just wished it would have stuck to the facts.This at least has people from the game in it so it will be better in my opinion.lata

[cRaven]

yeah. i agree. good thing emily bergl is out of the loop, too.

and anybodykilla100, what does "lata" mean? is that hip hop slang for "later"?

[Scooter]

the first was okay.... i guess i could take a sequel... as long as there is mucho gore in it

[Fred Head]

Heres one it's a prequal meaning it happened before the first game that is why no game characters are in it. I know you watched it enough times to see in the begining that they state it's a prequal

[TheDeadWalk]

Nemesis finalized and stalking to me is nothing more than a glorified un-masked Jason Voorhies, is he not?

At least until he starts getting his ass beat with tentacles and what-not.

So I don't see why it would be super hard I guess. It's been done a plenty of times.

[pyscho dude]

Speaking of the first one being a prequel I always thought that Wesker released the virus but the movie stated differently.

[BadNewsCruise]

lol couldnt have said it better myself.....R.I.P

[BuddhaFul]

Just to clear up a few things. Yes, that Isaacs guy will be in the film (hope i spelled his name right). There's also going to be some extra survivors plus a guy who only gets five minutes of scene time (obvious what happens to him)

I also read that Alice or Jill will meet each other at all. so basically two stories going on at once.

The Nemesis, as i read, will be a mix of CGI and prothstetics. Better than all CGI in my opinion.

[EvilDeadGirl]

Well thats like RE2 and RE3. 2 was supposed to be going on about the same time as RE3.

So the two stories rolled into one should work at fairly nicely. That is if they don't fuck things up too much. I'd like to see Alice meet up with Jill. I love Jill and can't wait to see her on the big screen!

[Silverload]

Awhile back I read that Alice and Jill never actually meet in this movie. That there are basically two stories happening at once, and we see the decisions of each person affecting the other as their own story unfolds. Does anyone know if this is true or just a rumor?

[dellamorte dellamore]

Sounds like that's exactly what they are going to do , much the way EDG has stated , it will be a combo of Res 2 and 3 . I think 3 happened a couple of hours before 2 , and then they overlapped , according the vidgame timeline , and i don't have a problem with the fact that Alice and Jill won't meet , so long as both of them are in the film , i'll be happy . Just wish Sherry Birkin was a part of the proceedings . If i remember correctly , she was a huge part of part 2's narrative , because her father gave her a locket that had a pendant with the G virus in it . That's why Mr X ( one of the variants of the Tyrant class of mutants ) was chasing her throughout the whole game .


So , i would imagine , someone else will obtain the G virus in the films , but it would have added that much more tension too see little sherry getting chased through the streets of Racoon City instead of a grownup . But that may be too intense for certain people , and that's why they probably decided to drop that aspect of the story , because i have no doubt they at least considered it .



And i'm not surpised that Nemesis will be a combo of pros. and cgi , i was already 100 percent positive about that already .


By the way , i think this sis the first day of principal photography , so it shouldn't be long before this thing is finished , they go into post production , and get this bad boy in the theaters .

[EvilDeadGirl]

I completely agree with everything you've said Dellamorte Dellamore.

They probably considered using Sherry in RE2: (the movie) but tossed the idea away as soon as they realized that most people would throw a shit fit having to sit down and watch this little girl running through this fucked up world. Personally I would enjoy it as it was indeed a big part of the game's (2's) narrative. But alas, we can't always get everything we want now can we?

As far as Jill and Alice actually meeting goes, well I've stated that I would enjoy that but even if they don't it'll make for jes' as good a story.

Isn't this movie due out sometime next year? Thats what I heard and was a bit curious. Anyone have an ideas?

[pyscho dude]

Actually the first half of RE3 takes place before RE2 and the second half took place afterwards. Because if you play RE2 a certain way you can see the Brad Vickers zombie beneath the Police Station and he died near the police station in RE3. So RE3 is like a mix of a prequel and a sequel.

[Emo]

For anyone who cares, the sets of Resident Evil 2 look amazing, I drove by them a buncha times with my bf and i've seen a whole street covered in garbage and debris, a school bus turned upside down with a crane fallen through a buncha cars nearby, everything broken and shit
i should have brought my camera to take pictures

[Fred Head]

If you can snap some pics that would be very cool.

[dellamorte dellamore]

PS , that's what i meant , the events in RE3 start before the ones in part 2 , then they intertwine , exactly how the film will be .


Here's a few updates from www.thezreview.co.uk :


Saturday 9th August 2003: Resident Evil: Apocalypse Update:
Running has just been in touch to advise that the Resident Evil: Apocalypse filming started officialy on the 6th August.

Saturday 9th August 2003: Resident Evil: Apocalypse Update:
Kyle has just been in touch with a pile of info on Resident Evil: Apocalypse:"Well, Bruised, bloodied and disoriented is how we left Alice in the final moments of Resident Evil. Emerging from an Umbrella Corporation research lab into an apocalyptic Raccoon City, Alice surveys the tattered vision before her, where the walking zombies known as the Undead have taken over. As the camera rises to fully show the devastation, Alice picks up a shotgun and prepares to fight evil yet again. Where the first ends, the second installment begins, as Resident Evil: Apocalypse readies for production.

Sources close to the production tell FilmJerk.com that the casting process has begun in anticipation of a three-month shoot beginning in late July. Returning will be the first installment are Milla Jovovich (as Alice) and Eric Mabius (Matt Addison), as well as a horde of flesh-eating zombies.


End Update




I think i may have to make a little trip up north , so i can get a gander at this production , maybe get some pics . I didn't know they were filming in Canada , for some reason i thought they would be filming in Europe , like they did for the first one . Mostl likely they will for some of the interiors , and when they go into post production . According to that update , principal photography should wrap sometime in November , and i would imagine post production will be another 3 months after that , so the March 2004 release date that some websites are reporting , does not sound realistic , even though i hope it's true . I read that a May release is also possible , and that sounds about right , but since i'm inpatient with regards to this release , i hope they can get it ready for a March release instead .



Anyway , Emo please try to get some pics , if you can , it would be greatly appreciated , but either way , i'm going to have to just go there myself , and act like an annoying papparazzi , taking pics of everything in sight . I have a 3 day weekend coming up on the 23rd , so it's time for a little road trip .

[BuddhaFul]

I have a quick question about Part 1, what happened to the chopped up bodies after the zombies attacked and they returned to the lazer room.

[EvilDeadGirl]

Thanks for that update DD. I'm growing more and more impacient with each passing day that I hear new info on this movie. Get it done and release it in theatres already! Mwa!

Anyway, it's times like these that I wish I stilled lived in NY that way a trip to Canada wouldn't seem so damn far.

Emo I third fred head and DD's request asking that you take some pictures and post em so that we can take a lookie!

As for the bodies that were taken care of by the laser...to be honest I'm not sure what happened to the peices and the movie didn't really go into explaining anything. When the "team" goes back to the red queens chamber's, "Rabbit" asks what happened to the bodies and no one replied. My take, perhaps the licker got to the parts and had himself a little snack.

[dellamorte dellamore]

Spoilers







I don't see how the licker could have eaten their weapons , shoes , and clothes . And i doubt that somehow the Red Queen diintegrated them or something , she was shut down at that point . And the virus had already been contained and disappated by the time they were killed , so reanimation is not a possibility , especially when one guy was sliced in half , and another " cubed " .


It may just be a huge plot hole , that somehow doesn't detract from it's entertainment value , more reason why i think P Anderson was influenced by Demons 1 / 2 , tons of unexplained events happened in both those films . It's funny , because you just accept it , or in my case , don't even pay attention to it , because it still works .



Well , i got a bit excited about hearing how RE2 starting filming in Toronto , and i forgot , i already made plans , so there is no way i can head up there , at least not right away . I hope when i do get a chance , they are still there , because i would imagine only certain exterior shots will be filmed there , then the production will probably head to Europe for the interiors and post production .



Oh well , i hope one of the other shmoes gets some pics . This is where the papparazzi , people who do these things for a living , come in handy .

[EvilDeadGirl]

I wasn't suggesting that the licker ate the guns, boots, etc. I was referring to the flesh in general. Actually more particularly the cubed body. That scene was sweet, the way you saw em fallin' apart in the reflection of the door. Nice!

BTW Highlight that gap to read spoilers for those that haven't seen it yet.

Although I think your right DD. It was probably jes' one of those plot holes, however I jes' accepted it and didn't really think about it much afterwards becuase they had so much going on in the film to distract you from that. Hence the reason why I think no one answered the "rabbit's" question.

[Prime Suspect]

Hey there fellow schmoes, newcomer here. I just wanted to throw my change on this topic. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of this movie like you won't believe. I hope they will add more elements and creatures into this next movie. I would love to see one, if not a few Hunters, (I call them Head Bangers since the would always knock off your head). Hey, I wouldn't even mind seeing some mutated animals. Anywho, no matter what the outcome, I'm sure it will be as good or better than the first. That's just my take. Later guys and gals.

He could have eaten all that, though I’m not really for sure what a huge mutated undead monster can and can’t eat. Also it could have just carried all the pieces away to like some kind of a nest or something.

[pyscho dude]

Maybe some kind of trap door or something underneath opened up and they fell. I don't know but that question has been on my mind for a while.

[Luke-Abbott]

Or maybe it was a homage to the games where a dead body would be in a room, you exit, go back in and the body would be gone. Thats what I thought, also when Kaplan asks where they are that got me thinking about that. Maybe a little something from the game.

[Prime Suspect]

Great point there Luke-Abbott, I never thought of that. That would be a neat little reference to the video games.

[dellamorte dellamore]

The trapdoor sounds about right , except for two things , i'm sure a supercomputer would simply skip the first step and just trap them , then terminate them , plus she was shut down at the time a trap door would have opened .



And prime s , you can be almost positive that hunters , spiders , and other mutants will be in the sequel .

[moose1132]

I thought the first one was great too, but it would have been a lot better if it followed Chris Redfeild and Jill Valentine through that mansion. Seems like 2 is gonna totally skip over the events in the first movie (Since the first movie was a prequal). I can't wait to see it though.

[Prime Suspect]

I sure hope so Dellamorte. I can't wait to see a trailer for this. I just hope all goes well with production and it all goes underway flawlessly. Later.

[pyscho dude]

Wouldn't it be really cool if Wesker had like a real short cameo in this sequel? I highly doubt it but wouldn't it be cool?

[living evil]

Yes that would be cool. As long as the right actor and people are playing him. The only problem I have with this film so far is that they calling Matt the Nemisis which is untrue because the Nemisis program was programed and devolped in Europe before coming to Racoon City to kill the remaining STARS personal.

And Jills a cop, not a STARS member in the movie. Which makes me wonder how this'll work.

*Cough* Sorry the Resident Evil fan in me came out.:D

Now that would be cool!!!!!!!!

[SpaceMutt07]

Hmm...wonder if this is going to be a big Summer 2004 release.

[SpaceMutt07]

My fan made poster:

Nemesis is in the bottom right corner but it came out really dark.

[EvilDeadGirl]

Damn Spacemutt. Thats a kick ass poster. I'd like to see them use something like your design for the movie one. Hell I know they have contests and what not for making movie posters, ya should find one for RE2 and submit that. :)

[SpaceMutt07]

Why thank you! :)
I actually didn't like the way it turned out at first, but it grows on me everytime I look at it.

[pyscho dude]

dude that is one awesome poster. Man I don't think there will be a design that can beat that.

[Could Be Worse]

It's a very subtle, dark poster, which I like quite a lot. Very cool, SpaceMutt.

[Invincible]

Yo, I dig that poster! certainly sets the dark atmosphere for the movie! great work!

[Luke-Abbott]

Thats a cool poster, I like it a lot.

[C-Desecration-]

There appears to be quite a lot of talk going on here, but the information on the actual movie is pretty dry. It seems like everyone is speculating, but since I'm a big fan of the original RE, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring, and try to get some solid info starting up again.

So, any new news?
. . . no?
Damn, this movie was supposed to be out in 2003!

Oh well, as long as we have kick-ass posters like the uber-dark, moody atmosphere of spacemutt's stuff (though Mila's face looks a little . . . bloated . . .) , I'll be content.

It sure will be nice once somebody takes the time to pop the lid off this movie. Hasn't shooting on the film already started? If so, let's hope we get new images leaking out--I'm eager to see just what the hell they plan to do with Nemesis.

[EvilDeadGirl]

I haven't heard anything else other than they started filming RE2 sometime last week I think it was.

I'm not sure I want to see what Nemisis is going to look like. Sure, I'm curious as all hell however I'm also a bit scared to see what they've done to him >.<!

[EDsoulsurvive*]

Hey everyone check this out!!!!!!!!!

INSIDE (http://insideresidentevil.com/)

[C-Desecration-]

The very first image of the new RE (check it out on the link soulsurvive posted above)
Looks like the director seems to be handling Paul's job good enough. The only thing I'm worried about is the figure there . . . if you look close enough on the larger picture (that shows all of her . . . yes, it is a "her"), you'll see that she's either wearing a miniskirt or short-shorts. For some reason, this character looks like Lara Croft.

Hopefully it's just my imagination.

Great site, though! Thanks for the link, soulsurvive.

[Luke-Abbott]

That sites is mental, acting like a secret cover-up site. Pretty funny actually, anyways those two pics look cool. A little unsure about the Jill Valentine picture but I'm sure I'm gonna have to make do with it.

http://insideresidentevil.com/images/Jill_Valentine_First_Look.jpg

it looks too much like the game and a little cartoony for me, but I'm sure it'll grow on me.

[spacemonkey]

That pic doesnt look to good...it looks cartoony...those colors on her clothes..please god dont let this suck, I loved the first one!

Heres another "shot" from the film..

http://insideresidentevil.com/images/image002.jpg

[Luke-Abbott]

That second pic looks cool, very stylish. Great shot, I'm a sucker for those kind of shots really for some reason. I hope we don't get to see the Nemesis until the movie is finished. It should be a cool surprise to find out what he looks like with everything finished.

Again, the second pic is cool.

[pyscho dude]

Dude those pics rock. It's really starting to look RESIDENT EVIL .

[C-Desecration-]

I heard that the new RE hasn't even started shooting yet . . . in which case I'm not sure what these pictures are. Costume tests, maybe?

Like I said above, Jill has a lara croft thing going on, and I don't like it. In my opinion, videogames can get away with stuff that films would be crucified for. People have wanted a Final Fantasy movie, but (like in VII), would you want to see a blond, spikey-headed kid boarding down a snow-covered mountain, jumping over balloons? No? Didn't think so.

I'm with the too cartoonish look. But once again, it looks like a set picture, so the general look of the shot in the actual movie will have a different feel.
My vote? Wait until a teaser trailer with actual footage before we condemn/praise the look. I will admit, the Jill, appearance-wise, looks dead-on with the game, and will certainly make for some great eye candy (sorry, I dig Milla as an actress, but her looks don't appeal to me).

[EvilDeadGirl]

Those pics..are kewl. I have to go with what's been said so far on them though, they do look a bit cartoonish at least the one with Jill looking all Laura Croft although again she looks exactly how she did in Nemesis. (my spelling jes' keeps gettin' worse.) So thats a plus right there.

The second picture looks better, it gives it that mysterious whats around the corner feel. That's always a good thing. (Milla is hot IMO and she can act.)

I checked out that site and shit....that guy seems like he's into his own little rpg world over there....

[Boogeyman]

Im glad theyre staying a little more true to the game from the last movie. I mean, I liked the first movie, but it has almost zip to do with the actual game. This looks like it will be a mix, which looks good.

I dunno... I'm actually really impressed with the look ( HOT! ). It's even better than I imagined. I'm really looking forward to this.

[dellamorte dellamore]

I think it looks terrific , both of them , and this isn't going to be a screen test image , they have already past that stage of production , and are now in the principal photography stage , so shmoes this is it , unless someone is taking the piss , and this is some fanmade image or something . If not , then i'm ecstatic , i love the look , and wowzer , look at all the firepower she's carrying , yikes , this is going to be just classic .


Keep in mind this could very well be the work of the production team , posing as a spy in order to create an early buzz , or maybe it's a legitimate spy , in that case , or any case , it's very encouraging .


Can someone find an image of Jill Valentine fin Nemesis mode , so we can do a side by side comparison . Unfortunately , my comp is on the fritz , and i won't be posting for awhile , but i just got an early christmas present , later .

[KiddReign2]

I really liked the first Resident Evil film. Mostly because of Milla but I was kinda angry that it didn't really follow the game but I guess P.A. is taking a different turn with the film series. So let's hope that it all comes out well. As for that website, that's just releasing creepy information about the film, that's cool. It may help in the long run when the film comes out. I dig the actress that they got for Jill she looks like her and let's hope she does the game justice. I'm also concered about that info about how she's just a cop and not a member of S.T.A.R.S. I know that things have to be changed for a film but come on P.A. leave some things the same for us fans!

[XCoRyX]

the pics look good enough and are suitable,the jill close up looks cheapish but its for promo purposes likely...nonetheless im still pumped for it.

[EvilDeadGirl]

Ok, so I was bored as usually and did a search for RE pics and this is what I found from the game......damn they've got the costume to a T! Rawk!

http://www.horrorseek.com/vampires/ladyizabella/resevil.jpg

[chasingbanky]

GIddyup.....I cannot wait to see these two hot ladies killin zombies..HOW FUN!!!!!

[Luke-Abbott]

Picture of Carlos Olivera played by Oded Fehr who appeared in The Mummy movies.

http://insideresidentevil.com/images/Carlos1.Jpg

[XCoRyX]

i wasnt exactly amazingly pleased with the casting of oded,but he looks okay in that pic...ive also found out that a very funny and cool diverse/talented actor whom was also in F Vs. J is in this reportedly...Zack Ward.

[rtatick]

I think it's about time I hop on the bandwagon with my thoughts on this. Everyone excited? ;)

I'm looking foward to this movie. I'm not getting all giddy inside like I am for some movies, but I will see this in theaters most defintely. I thought the first was highly entertaining with it's fair share of flaws (the director maybe....). I can see this being a fun romp that certainly has some rich potential based solely on the avaible story elements.

[XCoRyX]

yeah damn right im excited,saw the first when i rented it out of curiousity,because i was a firm believer it was going to be horrible and such,then to my surprise it was pleasantly fun and entertaining and just plain out coolness...so bring on the 2nd.

[RogueSpear]

This is easily my most anticipated movie at this time and these pics are only adding fuel to the fire. I can't wait. Oded Fehr looks awesome, as does the person playing Jill. This should be a great sequel.

[pyscho dude]

This is looking like a great film. I'm glad it's staying truer to the RE universe.

[zZaNuBiZz]

Likewise but what kind of looks the zombies will have in this film and what will Nemesis look like?:cool:

[C-Desecration-]

Likewise but what kind of looks the zombies will have in this film and what will Nemesis look like


That is the big question, isn't it? Well, don't look for any pics for quite some time . . . most likely it'll be kept under-wraps (Nemesis I mean, not the general zombies) much in the same way as Leatherface was (and is) for the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Thankfully, the Jill pic, which is hopefully just a promo shot, is arguably quite sizzling. She's dead-on with the look in the game, but I'm still trying to figure out if that's a good thing or not . . . this is a sequel to RE, not Tomb Raider. But once again, we'll just have to wait and see.

The pic of Carlos is . . . well, why is he smiling? Did a zombie saying something funny? Regardless, I like the look, and the guy seems like he should be able to pull off a good performance. I'm still eager to see a picture of Alice though.

Let's keep those photos coming!

[APzombie]

If they make it have a smoother pace, more character development, and if they keep Manson miles away from the score... i might be interested.....

[Prime Suspect]

This one is going to kick major zombie ass. I can already tell. If those pics are any indication of how closely they modeled this film to it's video game counterpart, it is going to ROCK! I loved the first one, hence it being a fav of mine, and this is now the one movie I am anticipating with...well...anticipation. Hey, Freddy Vs. Jason already rocked my world, I have to set my sites on something else.

[SpaceMutt07]

My sights are aimed on this movie and The Ring 2. I guess these 2 movies combined equal my anticipation for Freddy vs. Jason, so that's pretty good.

I hear that SpaceMutt. Good call on the Ring 2. I don't know how I forgot about that one.

Same here, I'm not a fan of his music but he did a good score for the first movie and wouldn't mind having him come back for this one.

[pyscho dude]

I liked Manson's score but at time it got a bit too heavy metal. Maybe just Marco himself should do this one.

[XCoRyX]

mansons poser like self is the least of my anticipations or worries...

I tend to agree.

[EvilDeadGirl]

Hey I hate Manson jes' as much as the next schmoe but I thought he did an excellent job on RE. I really do hope that he does the same for the second one.

The pic. of Carlos looks badass. I'm getting all giddy......teehee!

Where didya find the pic of Carlos anyhow?

[C-Desecration-]

I've never done this before, but we have to get some more information! Anyone?

BUMP!

On the UHM website (upcominghorrormovies.com), they have a link to a pic of the mask for Nemesis. I wasn't sure if I wanted to see it at first, but I cracked. DAMN my need to know more!!!! Oh well, let me know what you guys think of it. I think it looks pretty cool. Later my fellow schmoes.

I love Manson`s music. Well maybe I dont love it, but he is one of my favorite musicians. The score of Resident Evil I liked a little less than his regular music. Got too technoish, but it still had metal tunes in it so that made up for it.

[Luke-Abbott]

Cool Nemisis mask, looking to be closer to the actual game. But one question, isn't Nemisis' stiched up eye on the left side? Anyways, cool mask. Looking good so far.

[XCoRyX]

not bad looking...
heres my big question-

does anybody else think nemesis looks EXACTLY like chatterer?

[the_ultimate_evil]

i dont think this is real it looks to home made. i've loked at a lot of hollywood effects masks, and there something that just doesnt seem right

[Xipe Totec]

It looks real to me and yes chatterer and nemesis look quite damn similar especially the mouth area.

[pyscho dude]

It does look similar to chatterer but still cool. P.S. I just bought Hellraiser 2 yesterday.

[Prime Suspect]

Sorry about not getting around to posting it. It slipped my mind the first time and I just haven't had the time recently. I think it looks pretty bad-ass, weather or not it is home made, which I don't think it is. BTW, what or who is Chatterer? I've never heard of that. Anyway, I was happy with the pic of the mask, but I don't think I wanna see a pic of the completed Nemesis before the theatrical release. Maybe it's just me, but it would ruin the whole surprise. I'm the type of person that watches a movie preview once, and never again until the movie comes out. They tend to show all the good parts in previews, so I just ignore them. Anywho, back on topic...that mask closely resembles the video game Nemesis. You can already tell they are paying very close attention to detail. I know this one will kick ass.

I agree with you there, I think it would be best to leave us in suspense and surprise from what the finished Nemesis would look like on film. Just a little mask is all I want really, since it does show that they are working on the movie and things are (so far) looking very good.

Hopefully Nemesis will be best kept a secret like Licker was (kinda) in a way.

Well IMO Nemesis looks great, but not nearly as great as chatterer.

[pyscho dude]

I wander what other creatures from the games they'll have in the movie. I know there's zombies, zombie dogs, and nemesis but does anyone know what other ones there will be.

[Luke-Abbott]

I think the Licker will make a welcome return, remember the storyboards that were posted ages ago? Had some scenes with a motorbike and Licker.

[EvilDeadGirl]

That pick of Nemesis looks a hell of a lot like Chatter. Almost creepy...anyway it looks awesome. Can't wait for this flick to come out!

[Jason_Vorhees34]

im lookinf forward to this now that ive read everything about it and seen the pics, i liked the first one, but yeah, it wasnt what i was hoping for, this one looks to be pretty kick ass, is there any kind of release date on it yet or is it still to early?

I hear that the look for nemesis is supposed to be very close to the look in the game, I saw a pic of the nemesis make up test, he looks like the one in the game.


Have a look! (http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/images/Nemesis.jpg)

I couldn't see the pic. More and likely the film will probably get pushed back to 2005 because the first one was originally supposed to be october 2001 got got pushed back to march 2002.

Cinescape Online reported that the first trailer for Resident Evil 2 will screen with the upcoming vampire film Underworld, starting Sept. 19; that trailers for Spider-Man 2 will accompany The Missing in December; and that a trailer for Hellboy will appear in October:D

YEAH! YEAH!

[Prime Suspect]

I highly doubt that they would be releasing a trailer for RE2 just yet, considering they basically just started production on the film...unless they are going the Alone In The Dark route. Which would mean they spliced a few scenes of what they have filmed so far and presented it as a teaser. In which case I wouldn't want to see it. I would much rather wait for a preview of the finished product....ahhh, who am I kidding, I'll enjoy it either way. Hope it's true though.

Later

[EvilDeadGirl]

IF they release a trailer of RE2 this early it kinda makes ya wonder how they are going to do it. I agree completely with what Prime Suspect said. More than likely it'll be a teaser. I'd still love to see what they've got so far!

[Luke-Abbott]

If that piece of info IS true then I expect they would probably put together some sort of "snazzy" logo art and some narrative pieces. Maybe and maybe not.

[Prime Suspect]

I found some news about the upcoming Resident Evil 2 Teaser at BloodyDisgusting.com I posted the news here for yall.

----------

Bloody-Disgusting Exclusive: Inside is an email I received from Lord Crumb, who describes what we'll see from the Resident Evil 2 teaser showing before Underworld on September 19th.

Lord Crumb writes in, "Hey kids! Just dropping you a line to tell you all about the upcoming RE2 teaser to be shown before UNDERWORLD this month. Seeing as you guys are the best horror news site out there, figured I'd shoot the news to you first..

The teaser goes something like this:

A young woman sits in a chair in the middle of a blank white room. It plays like a commercial you'd see on TV. A female voice over starts to talk about the effects of aging as the camera moves in on the woman's face. While the voice over talks about aging, the woman's face starts to show wrinkles. More and more wrinkles show and the woman becomes older and older until she looks very elderly. We then see a shot of a product which will help fight aging. It is made by The Umbrella Corp. The "commercial" ends with the voice over saying "Some side-effects may occur."

This teaser will probably make no sense to people who are not familiar with the Resident Evil games or the first film, as from what I've heard, there is no title at the end. It just plays like a typical commercial. Sounded pretty cool and unique, so I thought I'd share what I found out!"

Thanks to Lord Crumb again!

----------
Sounds pretty neat and original. At least they are giving us a little taste...kinda, but not giving much away. I wanna see this movie so bad that I can't even wait to see this teaser. Hope we get to see a bit more in the months to come.

Later

[EvilDeadGirl]

I read that article at BloodyDisgusting.com and must say that I really want to see this teaser. It's koo' that they are doing sort of a commercial out of it like the Umbrella Corp. is a real company.

[dellamorte dellamore]

Freakin' brilliant , if anyone had any doubt about this new director's skills , talent , or wit , i think this simplistic but highly effective ( from what it seems ) trailer , should put some of your fears to rest rest , he defintlely looks to be taking an unconventional approach to this film and he no doubt embodies that wimsical , giddy spirit that the fans of the series possess .

I love the idea for this trailer , because it tells me that he created this Especially for the fans , Specifically for lovers of Res Evil . He knows we're waiting , he knows we're impatient , so he throws out a nice little treat that will no doubt get us all just a bit more excited . Thanks bro , for keeping the regular shmoes in mind , it's much appreciated .


Now , i'm still going to try to get my butt over to Toronto , and see what the hell is going on over there , hopefully get some pics or even videos . Of course , you will be the first to know , if i do . Watch out T Ronto , Dellamorte Dellamore is heading to town , and i'm going to try to crash the set of Res Evil Apocolypse .

[TooL]

Theres a "shocking" end to the teaser. My money is on the woman's zombified form leaps at the screen.

[EvilDeadGirl]

That would be a koo' ending to the teaser but either way I'd love to see it!

DD's right, the teaser probably will get us all a bit more excited...although I really find that hard to beleive as I'm going nuts waiting for this flick!

[dellamorte dellamore]

That's something else i was going to say , i'm not sure i can get anymore more excited than i already am , but i can see myself getting chills when i actually do experience the trailer , plus it doesn't hurt that what looks to be a great film will follow it .


Now there is something that i regret , i wish i didn't read the description , or even knowing that a trailer will be attached to the front of Underworld , because that element of surprise would have really hit me hard in the gut . No matter , i can't wait .

[Prime Suspect]

I agree with you completely DD. I much rather have let it kick my ass by surprise. The same thing happened with FvsJ. After watching the first trailer for it, I never saw it again. That's just the way I am. I love being surprised. I know that I'll still be excited as hell. No doubt about that.

It made sense in a way. Look at the game and when you find a doctor's notes or one of the few that survived long enough to write somethin' down.

Although at the moment I can't remember the exact words that were from one of those notes in the game I could spot the similiarity. It sounds more so like rambling.....the ramblings of a madman. Not sure what it's really got to do with the movie seeing as how Alice didn't die and we haven't even met Jill yet.

Anyway I'll post em once I remember them. I'm sure you guys know what I'm talkin' about.

[Prime Suspect]

I agree EvilDeadGirl. I thought about that myself but didn't post it. When I read I felt like I was playing the game. I guess you just have to be a real Resident Evil game junkie to realize it immediately. I just visited the InsideResidentEvil website and I didn't see that entry. Oh well, if you find that memo in the game, you should post it. I'll check too. Til then...

Later

[EvilDeadGirl]

It's like Jill in the begining of the game Nemesis. When all of the CG is done and what not and the screen goes black it goes onto say her usual speal of "I've got to make it out alive. This is my last chance......my last escape." That's the only one that I can remember right now. I know in the First RE game when your running around the Mansion there is a letter that you find about a guy that's been bitten and he's starting to turn and it goes on to him writing something like..."Can't stop the itching....itchy scratchy.....itchy scratchy."

[XCoRyX]

nothing special but it still isnt horrible or anything...

[Shockwave]

I am kinda starting to warm up to this, heck its gotta be pretty good if they are already planning ResidentEvil:Afterlife as the 3rd one. I could easily see these movies spanning onward just as long as they keep true to the games and make them truly frightning.

If you read the reveiw wit Paul Anderson, you would know that he was planning for a trilogy when he came up with the first one, that's why Im glad he's at least writing the sequels if not directing them. Since he said he has it all mapped out in his head... sounds wounderful :D

I didnt know this, thx for the heads up. If he does have this all mapped out maybe he was holding stuff back from the first one to put in the latter two. Thats what it sounds like anyway.

Looks like a zombie dog or a hunter. cant tell its so blurry.

[Prime Suspect]

This movie looks so fucking awesome so far that I'm going nuts just thinking about it. BTW, that last picture is very interesting and intriguing. I wonder if it was ravenous dogs, or lickers, or hunters, or zombies.....the possibilities are endless. Perhaps Nemesis had a hand in it. At any rate, I am anticipating this so bad that I wanna throw up. ::Gags:: Excuse me!!................................O.K. I'm better now. Damn I am so ready for this movie to come out, and I'm even more excited now that I know a 3rd installment is inevitable. I think Paul Anderson rocks. Well, that's all for now.

I had an idea that they were going to make this into a trilogy. That's kewl with me as long as they stay on the same road that they seem to be going. Stickin' to the game, kick ass zombies, yummy dogs. Meow!

Can I get a FFFIIINNNEEE! MAMA! in here???

[Luke-Abbott]

Has anyone read the Synopsis for Resident Evil: Apocalypse on the offical web site?, it says that Alice is now kinda superhuman or something like that thanks to Umbrella testing on her:

The film begins where the first film left off, with ALICE in the heart of the ravaged and deadly Raccoon City. She has been subjected to biogenetic experimentation by the vast Umbrella Corporation and become genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive.

I'm not sure how to react to this, it could be a good thing to develop the Alice character in this direction but it could also seem a bit tad cheesy in a way if anyone gets me.

ps. the Resident Evil 2 site is www.re2.com.

[Hell Phantom]

Yes I did read that, I also posted about it in the other RE2 thread...fucking weird stuff and could lead to bad...not just for the movie but inside the movie for Alice's character... if you catch my drift

[XCoRyX]

the teaser for RE2 wasnt bad at all,pretty slick infact if you ask me,just might be throwing off some people,cause at my showing last night alot of people said stuff like "What the fuck" but all together,when it showed the words resident evil people clapped.

[Shockwave]

It sounds VERY much like she has the perfected G-Virus in her. Albert Wesker(leader of S.T.A.R.S.) also had the virus perefctly injected into him making him super fast, strong and with hieghtend senses. He battled Chris with his newfound power in Code: Veronica and beat the holy snot out of him with it.

The WHOLE purpose of the T-Virus was to make super soldiers much like Alice or Wesker. The zombies were a low grade side effect and the Tyrants came about from a very strange blood type found in 1 out of every 1000 people. The Nemisis came about from the G-Virus infected human that will continue to evolve as it comes into contact with different substances. It will adapt to any adversary as the G-Virus continualy mutates the body unlike the T-Virus which does it job then dies out.

Forgot to add that the Lickers are G-Virus infected(as anyone who played part 2 knows) thats why it mutated after tasting blood in part 1.

[Invincible]

the news about her having super-strength is old for me, I read a script review of RE2 a month ago.

[EvilDeadGirl]

I jes' watched that teaser trailer and man I need a towel! Fuckin' rawk! Love the way that they set this up. "May cause side effects." Classic!

The whole Alice having superhuman powers and what not is kinda kewl. It's good to see that they are incorporating this much of the game into the movie. Anticipation gettin' much higher!

Enjoy reading, it definitely surpasses the original, but it has flaws in the second part..kind of stops all the action and the character development or whatever..but it's only a draft, Anderson prolly rewrote this.

-But I survived,” Alice says in a voice-over. And with those words, we find out how Raccoon City itself became infected, as Major Cain, who originally incarcerated the pair and the leader of the Umbrella Corporation’s army, demands that they re-open “The Hive” (where the action of the first film took place) to see what had happened. As one brave sap opens the door, an undead hurtles towards him. Just before the title card is shown, we see the victim’s flashlight fall to the ground, smeared in blood. We are then given a glimpse of Cain running for the exit.
-well, ok, i guess that's alright but what about the fact that the rats took the virus from the smashed samples and spred it around the city. that's basicly what was said in the games.

-Dr. Charles Ashford, a wheelchair-bound genius that has invented a formula for the Umbrella Corporation to develop super-humans, is about to be held captive by the company he works for. Also hustled away by an SUV, he originally resists. He does not want to leave his daughter, already on her way to school. As he’s told it’s being taken care of, we cut to the SUV carrying her as it slams into an 18-wheeler. Miraculously, she survives.
-wait, who's this? a new ashford? i thought they all died in cvx. yes i know cvx was after re3 and all that but(!) alfred, was not mentioned. alexia, was not mentioned and she was frozing for years. their pops, dead. or a bow in other words.

-Somehow Valentine knows that the Umbrella Corporation is behind what is plaguing the city. Saying she has dealt with these things before (How she knows this is unrevealed during the rest of the film), her advice to Captain Henderson is to shoot to kill, but her warnings fall on deaf ears.
-who is this Henderson? captian albert wesker is what his name is and he "died" in the mansion. and latly i've been hearing that the STARS are an umbrella based company thing. no anderson, that would be the ubcs.

-Elsewhere in the city, the sergeant of the S.T.A.R.S. team, Peyton Wells, is among a dozen other cops as they fight hundreds of undead coming straight at them, “too many to count, a wall of undead.” Having left the police station at this point, Valentine appears at Wells’ side as they begin the fight, but they soon retreat as the realization hits them that they can’t win after seeing a number of their comrades fall. Wells is bitten during this attack as well.
-the cop wall i remember from the beigining of the re3, but there is no wells in the game. please, the only two stars members even in town are vickers and valentine.

blah... this movie rejects all that is resident evil.

[syxxpac]

Damn. I really, really wanted to see Vickers get his in real time.

[Luke-Abbott]

That would actually be cool on-screen methinks, I was surprised to see it happen when I played the game and it was also cool. Maybe on film it would of been even better.

[C-Desecration-]

All right, it seems like my sole job is to bump this thread when it begins to slip, then vanish from sight . . . I will bump this, but I actually have something to say! Unbelievable!

blah... this movie rejects all that is resident evil.

I am so fucking sick of these things. " Ugh, it doesn't follow the game INCH-BY-INCH how dare they call it 'resident evil' " and oh-so-much shit like that. Does it occur to some of you that maybe the game resident evil (that i've played, but only sparingly . . . RE2 it was, I believe) isn't the one shining light of greatness that has no flaws? That maybe the game is not perfect, and that, gee, I dunno, maybe the movie can add some things that would've made the games better? I love MGS, and I think they really need a movie, but I wouldn't bitch if they strayed from the game. Even if they didn't have Snake I would still just wait and see (can you believe it?)!
What? They don't put in EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER FROM THE GAMES? So what? Jesus, this is an adaption, they aren't taping somebody playing resident evil and throwing it on the big screen. This is just someone's vision of Resident Evil.
I, for one, have no problem with that.

And about the negetive script review, the guy mentioned that it was not complete, and that if some things were fixed it would make a phenominal movie--plus, those things that need fixing wouldn't be too hard to repair.
My anticipation is still up there.

Oh, and all the pics I have seen are way cool, as if the awesome teaser. I can't wait for the first trailer!

Ah, but didn't ya know? The movies have to be a shot by shot movie version of the game for ANYONE to be happy. :rolleyes:

All joking aside, I totally agree with you. Resident Evil was a fun zombie romp, that didn't stray far from the games (sorry folks, that's the truth. The first film was a prequel to the events in the first game). RE2 looks to be even better than the first.

[Shockwave]

(sorry folks, that's the truth. The first film was a prequel to the events in the first game).

The movies have nothing to do with the games. They are a total seperate monster, much like the X-Men movies and the Comics.

They use the some of the same characters and settings but they dont have any "direct" releation.

[Invincible]

Agreed with C-D...

[EvilDeadGirl]

C-D, You've made some fantastic points. I love the game jes' as much as the next schmoe and am one of those fans out there that aren't pissed off the plot isn't following the game bit by bit. Sure there are some things that are in the game that we get to see on the big screen but jes' because the movie doesn't follow the game bit by bit doesn't mean it's going to suck. Do you really want to see Jill walking around trying to get the card key at the police station?

Hell look at the first RE movie....was it exactly like the game? No. Did it work? Yes. Were fans and non fans of the game pleasantly surprised? For the most part I'd like to think so.

As for the teaser.....rawk the fuck on! Looks awesome! Can't wait for a full trailer! Bring on the hot chicks in mini skirts fighting zombies! WOOHOO!

Who says it has to follow the game inch by inch? Not me, but I didn't expect the whole storyline to be rewritten with an entirely new version PA thought was "better".

You're right, it isn't exactly a shining light of greatness, and it has plenty of flaws, but yet it is still able to give the movie a swift kick in the ass. As for adding things...well, nothing was added in the first movie that would make the game better. In fact it took a few steps back, eliminating some key elements that added to the game's charm, such as an actual atmosphere of horror, moody music, actual characters to care about and the traitor getting an awesome death in the end.

I love MGS, and I think they really need a movie, but I wouldn't bitch if they strayed from the game. Even if they didn't have Snake I would still just wait and see (can you believe it?)!

First off, this isn't an adaptation, it's a fan fic, the first movie having nothing to do with the games. It isn't a prequel because the prequel is RE:0. And I wouldn't mind replacing characters from the games if their successors were the least bit as interesting. Like Paul himself stated in his interview with Arrow, most of the characters are RE archetypes, so it's not like we're reinventing with something fresh here.

Hey...the Japs liked the movie adaption...so did Capcom..that's why they choose Paul Anderson's script of George Romera's... who's script didn't follow the game any better...more like another "Dead" adaption to his movies is what I heard...

If you're really interested syxxpac just check out the whole post. I think I just got a tad fed up with how everybody seems to treat every single adaption - yes, an adaption, not a 'fan fic' - like it needs to be a holy scripture or something. Like if one line of dialogue isn't true to the games the thing's a piece of shit, which isn't true (obviously).

In fact it took a few steps back, eliminating some key elements that added to the game's charm, such as an actual atmosphere of horror, moody music, actual characters to care about and the traitor getting an awesome death in the end.

If I remember, the games (RE2, at least, which could be an unfair comparison, so let me know) were basically B-movie schlock for atmosphere, I for one find the RE theme very moody, and I did develope a liking for some of the characters in the movie (to be fair, mainly because of the people portraying them), and - correct me if I'm wrong - the game's weren't necessarily known for their character development.

Hopefully this little detour that the thread is taking is still on topic, which I think it is.
So fire away.

RE:0 began development several years ago when it was originally scheduled for release on the N64.

It wasn't an adaptation, it was a completely different story. It was RE in name only.

An adaptation would be taking the original story and transferring it, maybe not precisely from its original form, to another medium, in this case film.

If I remember, the games (RE2, at least, which could be an unfair comparison, so let me know) were basically B-movie schlock for atmosphere, I for one find the RE theme very moody, and I did develope a liking for some of the characters in the movie (to be fair, mainly because of the people portraying them), and - correct me if I'm wrong - the game's weren't necessarily known for their character development.

Yeah, the game did feel like a B-Movie, but I felt it possessed a menacing air. A sense of dread with creepy sounds and music does more to scare me than shock scares and loud rock music. Of course this is all a matter of opinion.

I tend to agree that the games aren't really known for complicated character development. I would compare its characterization to Aliens more than anything. There isn't a lot of background on everybody, but almost every main and side character has a personality and look that made them distinct and likeable people. Who's easier to tell apart from looks alone: Chris Redfield and Albert Wesker, or J.D. and Kaplan? For me I would be hardpressed to find any major differences in J.D. and Kaplan, two stone faced soldiers garbed entirely in black, but maybe that's just me.

Actually, they're just plain ol' T-Virus mutations. They're created when a zombie gets another dose of the virus.

The transformation of zombie to licker can be seen bridged in the REmake via the Crimson Head zombies. That's why they're red and growing claws.

[myersfan31]

That's not true at all. There's more similarities then difference in the game. It's like Mortal Kombat or the Tomb Raider movies, they're just sorta different takes.

Now a movie like Final Fantasy is just using the name. :rolleyes:

All I have to say about people crying that the movie didn't FOLLOW the games and that it had nothing to do with RE 1 (game) is...look closely at the beginning of the movie. In the very beginning it says, and I quote...

CONFIDENTIAL REPORT.

SUBJECT:

THE EVENTS LEADING TO THE INCIDENT AT RACCOON CITY.

In no way shape or form did it say "the EXACT same events that occurred in the mansion, or the city, or anywhere for that matter."
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't like to watch a movie that was the exact frame-for-frame replica of the game. Where would the surprises be? I have beaten that game well over 15 times, along with the other RE's. I think the route that the, in my opinion, underrated, Paul W. S. Anderson chose to take was great, fresh, and very well executed. In other words...this movie was a Prequel in every sense of the word. I for one love it the way it is and have little-to-nothing to gripe about the movie.

So let's just keep in mind that this movie, while not a big screen video game, was highly anticipated, greatly awaited, well executed, and very well received by fans and non-knowers of the games, alike. Heck, as you can see to the left in my info...Resident Evil is one of my favorite movies. Not only because I love the games, but because it was fresh. Having a carbon copy isn't fresh, and that's why I loved this movie. With that, I conclude....

I thought the Licker was T-Virus

In the games the Licker was a T-Virus monster, once it had mutated into a licker it could not mutate again. In the Resident Evil movie the licker had to be G-Virus same as The Nemisis and Berkin. It was Berkin who got shot up in his lab and he injected the G-Virus into himself turning him into a beast of Nemsis stomping porportions.

He slaughterd the Umbrella soldiers that shot him(leading him to inject himself as a last ditch effort to stay alive)and the rats and the water system carried the virus through out the city faster then anyone could have predicted.

Just checked out re2.com and the site isn't there no more, maybe they are thinking of making a bigger and better site for it. Ah well, to bump things up theres a bunch of new info over at insideresidentevil.com:

There were a few cool things taken from the games (general licker design, mansion, dogs, and escape via Alexi 5000), but I'm of the opinion that there were more differences. I'm not sure if I can explain it, but whenever I watch it, I feel that it's missing something, though I can't quite put my finger on it. I should really watch it again...

[syxxpac]

Where would the surprises be?

Well...where were they? There was only two possible candidates for traitor, and it didn't take a genius to see which one was really the bad guy. Almost everybody else was zombie/mutant fodder so it was hardly a surprise when they were killed, though it was incredibly fun watching them get theirs :D

But poor, poor Colin :(

[EvilDeadGirl]

I was also wondering why they shut down RE2.com but I have to agree with you Luke-Abbott. I think that they are probably creating a seperate site for RE2. One not directly attached to Sony.


Tks too for that link on Inside Resident Evil. Some koo' lookin' pics and perhaps some useful info should one read between the lines. Looks like they are doing a shoot where Carlos and his team get dropped off into Raccoon City. Sweet.

Or maybe something far more sinister. Can you say..."Sttttaaarrrrsss"?

[EvilDeadGirl]

Perhaps delivering some food for our lovely Nemesis. LoL that would rawk. See Umbrella drop off some STARS members so that Nemesis can get in some practice rounds. Heh!

[Boba Joe]

Did anyone else besides me find it funny that the only person not to be infected throughout the whole movie was the person who was wearing the least amount of clothes? Just an observation.

[EvilDeadGirl]

In a way Alice was infected......I mean in the next one she supposedly has super strength and what not due to Umbrella doing experiments on her.

In the movie it said T-Virus made the licker... the Red Queen said something on the lines of...

"The licker was created by directing injecting the T-virus into living tissue...the resolutes, were unstable..."

[Shockwave]

Either a plot change to completely ignore the G-virus or he didnt do his research.:confused:

If everything was made using the G-virus the zombies would mutate when they bit something but if everything was made using the T the licker would not mutate but stay in its unalterd state.

My guess is he disregarded the G-virus because it might get too confusing for soem people.

During the whole Mansion/Hive episode she didn't get infected to my knowledge, probably just Umbrealla messing around again. Will they ever learn? :rolleyes:

You're probably right. The licker in the game is just maybe a step above the dogs in terms of toughness and doesn't mutate at all, while in the movie it's equivalent to a Tyrant and is able to mutate. He probably did decide to drop the G storyline entirely, thus dropping Birkin. And that's most likely why the new story concerning Raccoon's infection is *****SPOILERS*****Major Cain opening the Hive and zombies start spilling out*****END SPOILERS***** instead of the original where Birkin is assassinated.

I don't see how the G-Virus story would be confusing, though. It's interesting, but not confusing...

Yes, yes I do :p

And I love the character who utters it. I can't wait to see him in action killing like only he knows how to kill.

[adamjohnson]

Man, this series sucks. I really wish they had stuck to the original storylines. Zombies wouldnt infect you, they'd fuckin eat you. It was the RATS that infected everyone.

It was just so much more interesting in the games.

[Shockwave]

Zombies wouldnt infect you,

Yes they would, once infected u would turn into a zombie. Thats why all the S.T.A.R.S. members who died came back as zombies.

[Requiem-for-a-Dream]

When I saw the trailer the other night, I had a big grin on my face. What an ingenious way to promote the film. Everyone thought the trailer was for skin cream and finally they started showing the resident evil images. Great stuff! I'll be checking this out for sure!

Thoughts?

[Prime Suspect]

I think that that's a prequel scene to what Alice saw when she came out of the hospital. It doesn't show much, but it's own way, it's still badass!

Hold on, if thats the case then why in the games did you not turn into a zombies once you where bitten? Jill didnt, chris didnt, leon didnt, claire didnt. I think it was either the air borne virus or the rats that infected everyone

[Luke-Abbott]

Zombies do infact infect people when they bite, its possible Chris, Jill, Leon, Claire or whoever wasn't turn into a zombie was because of either: A) They were bitten so much that they just died and the virus couldn't infect them or B) it was only a game and there had to be somekind of Game Over.

But if Zombies didn't infect people and just killed them then how the hell did JD and Rain become zombies in the movie?

[Shockwave]

Its a game mechanic, u have to be bitten and then die from the wound. In the game u can treat the wound with herbs u find so your character doesnt die EVERYTIME a zombie or licker bites u.
