A new trilogy of RESIDENT EVIL films in 3D!?
Writer Paul W.S. Anderson is returning to the director's chair for the fourth installment in the Resident Evil franchise, which is said to be in 3D and will kick off a new trilogy, according to STYD. Anderson has written and produced all the RE films, but only directed the first. Here's what the man had to say about it:
"I always envisioned Resident Evil as a trilogy of films. and we've been very lucky where it's a trilogy where the audience has built and built. I wanted to kick off a brand new trilogy. I'm really excited we're doing it [in 3-D] and we're using the same camera system [James] Cameron used for Avatar. There are a lot of exciting things about this one. I don't regard it as Resident Evil 4, I regard it as a re-tooling and rebirth of the entire franchise."
You can expect Resident Evil: Afterlife to hit theaters on September 17, 2010.

As far as Resident evil based movies go these films are crap, as far as zombie movies go these films are crap. Now the main part of the problem Anderson is going to retool and reimagine the franchise he already unimaginatively ruined before, it's like curing someone of a horrible disease just to inject them with a flesh eating virus. He should just walk away and give Resident evil to someone who would do it better.
I don't agree with you, I really think these movies are a feast for the eyes and brain.
Theyre rebooting a franchise that isnt even that old!
dont mind some differences in story or plot, but making characters up that just seem (i know this will sound weird, it being a zombie series and all) unrealistic. Alice takes the fun out of these films for me personally.
why are people so funny about things like this. yes we are all fans of the games. no, the movies do not follow the games. why should they??? i think id be bored if it was just a straight game into movie, game into movie. movies are supposed to be different with SOME, if not ALOT of SIMILARITIES. but never exactly the same. the movies are entertaining enough.
Maybe entertaining to you and others. But the movies never grasp the horror elements of the resident evil games. What about the characters from the game? Sure Paul included some game characters but he messed them up so badly. He's not a good screenwriter when there is serious plotholes between Resident evil: apcolypse and extinstion. To me the movies should never be called resident evil as it has really nothing to do with resident evil. resident evil is all about the horror not action. I know I am not the only fan of games that is displeased with Paul's rotton films. Mock me all you want but you can never change my mind......................
Re-tooling...? REBOOT is where it needs to go...3D May make or break this generation, at least its not as bad as the original "3D movement"!
I've read about the past five or six comments here, so I am just going off that. Resident Evil has always been about the action -and- the horror. What do you people expect? You can't do much in the storyline without stepping on toes, so they decided to do what almost all the games, short of the first three or so, did...and that's make an independent storyline. In the world the movies take place in, the games storylines are not in tact...it's -independant- of them. Yes, a lot of the characters are used, and yes a lot of the creatures from the games are used. So many people give these movies so much flack because they didn't stick right to the video games. Don't get me wrong, I am not a -huge- fan of the movies, but you guys make it out like the world is going to implode because Resident Evil films aren't the exact same as the games. In my honest opinion, they wouldn't have been very interesting at all if they would have stuck to the the same storyline I have played out in a game five hundred times. The movies are mediocre at best, but the way people judge them is definately wrong.
oh dear oh dear, wot on earth is driving you to make more of what at best has been a horrendous crack at tryin to capture an epic franchise and put it to film??? honestly, its just utter pap, not scary, stupid script, just give it up!!....no really!
I thought for awhile that I was one of the very few who believed Anderson fucked up the RE movies so bad. Now after reading these comments I know there are other fans out there who understand that these movies are a disgrace to the legendary game.
I hope it's not going the direction of the past two movies but is mostly based on the first! Can't wait to see this re-vamping in 3D.
Why don't you let the series go and then hopefully in 5 to 10years someone who was actually a fan of the games can do a reboot that follows the stories and characters that we, as fans, love.
You're a piece of shit. honestly, you should stop. Your RE trilogy sucked...a lot.
P.S. Why did Alice all of a sudden have telekinesis in the last movie?! and why FINALLY bring in a character from the game (Claire) just to have her killed off...bullshit
i agree...this guy is a horrible film maker
Disappointed...
(

I WAS HOPING FOR 10 MORE SEQUELS!!!!
well I hope by "Re-tooling" he returns to the mansion and makes a RE based on the first game
Not him again, Paul Anderson does not understand what Resident Evil is about. Its horror not action as he really messed up on the last three movies. I just hope he uses characters from the games in the new movies or I won't bother to watch it. Resident Evil is more then just monsters, but the characters such as Jill, Chris, Leon, and Claire are important as well. Lets hope this time around, he will make the movies actually be about resident evil
i love these movies and cant wait for the new trilogy, but im not sure about the whole 3-D thing, im sick of seeing movies come out in 3-D now-a-days!!
hopefully this is absolutely nothing like the other movies and isn't a total abomination to the game franchise... that'd be nice.
Well, it's from the director of the first, who also wrote all the other films so...
Now the 1st and 2nd were good the 2rd sukd, So maby the new ones will be better than thne 3rd..
