Multiformat Gamer 0 Posted July 7, 2006 Resident Evil Extintion June 29, 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." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kippers 466 Posted July 7, 2006 woo! I'm looking forward to this one. I enjoyed the first and Apocalypse. Even after ignoring the predictable plots an outcomes i still liked them. Anything on when this is due for release? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goodfella. 19 Posted July 7, 2006 I didn't mind the first movie, but I can honestly say that Resident Evil Appocalypse is one of, if not the worst film I've ever seen. Not looking forward to this one bit, which is a shame because the core material rocks so hard... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not looking forward to this one bit, which is a shame because the core material rocks so hard... I'm the opposite with that, I thought the first was uddet rash, but the second was not too bad. I'll catch this on DVD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nate Baker1 0 Posted July 8, 2006 Hmm interesting, i was wondering when the next one would be coming. The movies were alright, but the Nemesis in the second one kinda sucked ass. It was too slow and had feelings at the end so it kinda blew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobo Rocket 1,412 Posted July 8, 2006 Can't wait for this one. Loved Resident Evil and Apocalypse, although I do agree, Nemesis sucked at the end, with feelings and all. Not RE like at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kraknor 0 Posted July 8, 2006 Apocalypse was kinda so-bad-it's-funny, until Nemesis emo'd out near the end. That surpassed the boundaries of so-bad-it's-funny into the realms of so-bad-I-want-to-stab-myself-with-a-fork (like that Homecoming episode of Masers of Horror, which I will take any chance to insult as it was the only unbearably bad episode in that awesome season). Anyway, my hopes aren't high. Except that, inevitably, Milla Jovovich will be wearing something skimpy and sweating a lot. And I, being the slobbering male consumer I am, will watch it on the TV in the hope of seeing some bewb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forty 747 Posted July 8, 2006 Neither of the films are worth spending money on to own. I wouldn't expect much from this third one, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capricornus 122 Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) Well I saw the first 2, and they were pretty god IMO. I have Apacolypse on DVD, and I watch it from time to time. I look foward to the 3rd installment. Edited July 9, 2006 by Super_Dante Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darthYENIK 8,369 Posted July 9, 2006 This new one sounds like a total ripoff of Land of the dead. Little humanity left, armored convoys. If it turns out that the zombies are getting smart, I'm gonna laugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDude5000 2 Posted July 9, 2006 It's gonna suck, but I hope Milla is in another hot outfit again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it turns out that the zombies are getting smart, I'm gonna laugh. I was gonna say "what do you expect from a movie based on a zombie game?" but you are totally right I saw Land of the Dead reading the plot outline and totally forgot we were talking about Resident Evil. Heck it sounds like a sequel to Land of the Dead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck it sounds like a sequel to Land of the Dead! Exactly what I thought when I read it. The first two sucked. They aren't even horror movies, they're action movies. I know Resident Evil games have action in them, but the horror is one of the best parts of it. Nothing in the Resident Evil movies is even somewhat scary. Big disappointment. I'm sure this one will be just the same, a zombie killing subpar action movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
palaric8 0 Posted July 11, 2006 i have an idea for a new set of resident evil movie: 1.hired George Romero 2.Lock Romero in a room ,he can only get out when he beat all the resident evil games 3.Start production Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not looking forward to this one bit, which is a shame because the core material rocks so hard... i'm gonna have to agree on that one. @palaric8: George Romero was 'post to make the first film, but due to how piss poor the script was, he was droped, you can find his script all over Resident Evil fan sites.

TheDude5000 2 Posted July 12, 2006 Anyone see the horrid trailer for the DOA movie? It's one of the worst things I've ever seen, though I admit some of the chicks are hot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

palaric8 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Night of the Living Dead (1968) director George A. Romero was originally attached to write and direct, but left the project in 1999 due to creative differences over the script. The project was dormant for over a year before Paul W.S. Anderson signed on to write and direct the movie. According to George A. Romero the rejection of his script was due to Bernd Eichinger. Everyone else associated with the pre-production apparently liked the script. imdb.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
