News: Resident Evil Afterlife

Thats right everyone! The Resident Evil movie trilogy just added a fourth movie to it's arsenal. Written by W.S. Anderson, Resident Evil: Afterlife is boasting some promising new steps in revamping the "video game" movie. Anderson boasts that the new RE movie will use the same 3D effect as 2009's Avatar, and will feature some characters from the video game series (Wesker appears in the trailer, finally). Anderson also made a point to state that a lot of the films content will come from the video game Resident Evil 5. In the trailer I caught glimpses of an Axe man, a few of the infected from RE 5, and the Umbrella Corporation head offices. Being that I am a gamer as well as a film buff, I have to say that I am excited to see a larger budget Resident Evil film. Since the first two films were incredibly low budget, and the third movie only slightly better, this fourth large budget picture could make or break the movie series. Hopefully Anderson takes into account one of my biggest problems with 3D... Not everything needs to be in fucking 3D! I don't want a 3D Leon Kennedy drinking coffee for no reason other than to convey to me the fact that Screen Gems (the studio behind the RE movies) bought an expensive 3D engine. None the less I will be following this product as a fan of the games, not as a fan of the movies, and I will be there to pick apart this game to movie love-child when it releases. So as of now RIOT fans, I am as excited as I am concerned for Resident Evil: Afterlife. Check the trailer out for yourself in the links to the left.
