New Resident Evil movie details infecting the interwebs |

Just because Resident Evil 3 saw the world reduced to a desert, the T-virus given the added ability of drying up rivers and lakes and killing plants in addition to turning most of humanity into murderous zombies, doesn’t mean they can’t keep going. Whether they should is another question entirely, but one thankfully not getting in the way of pre-production on Resident Evil 4!
According to JoBlo.com, Paul W.S. Anderson has already written the screenplay, but won’t be returning to the director’s chair - they’re waiting until the ink dries on Milla’s contract to hire a director, but other details like filming locations (Toronto and Tokyo), creature effects (Patrick Tatopoulos of Resident Evil 3) and practical effects (Michael Lantieri of Jurassic Park 3) and are already falling into place.
If their “very reliable source” is to be believed, the screenplay will be more akin to the second movie, but “with better dialogue” and a “very dark” tone. There go my hopes for a zombie-themed teen comedy set in space.

I liked RE1. I liked RE2…that was until Nemesis came in. It went all down hill and then at the end when Nemesis put up his dukes to fight, it was over. I saw RE3 for free thankfully and there was fighting…WHY?! You don’t hand to hand fight zombies. And it is depressing that they are hiring a choreographer since they said there will be so much fighting it will be needed. This isn’t a KUNG-Fu movie!!!
Also, if you are running away from zombies for 6+ months, why would you bother shooting them in the body?
Die in a fire.

I agree. RE1 was actually pretty good, pretty true to the spirit if not the story of the games. And RE2 had that great death by exploding motorcycle thing going for it. So, the first two are guilty pleasures in my movie collection, but RE3 was boring and stupid. You only get to pick one, movie! It was all knives, swords and hand-to-hand combat. Ridiculous. Guess we’ll have to wait for The Walking Dead (which could get made into a television miniseries) to get some zombie-fighting heroes that know how to both kick ass and keep their distance!

Blargh…
RE3 was awfull. At the end of RE3, we saw the end going into Tokyo with some interesting facts,
the new movie should obviously be set there… If, and im hoping if a new one does fall into place, that a new director, producer and better actors fall in line to make a true hollywood, video game based movie!!! RE1 and 2 were great, based on the games and was a really good story.
I just hope the new movie will be a job greatly done and puts RE fans smiles on there faces!
