Resident Evil movie drops extended trailer ahead of September release
Every Zach Cregger interview I watch where he talks about Resident Evil makes me wanna see the movie even more and simultaneously makes me aware that RE fans are fucking insufferable and deserve nothing
Singularity Shitposting10I assume anyone who as strong feelings about RE stories is by definition a tourist because those have been dumb dookie since day 1. Its key to why they are good
Fiddler, angrier than usual9It’s such a shame because we are getting a movie that is so heavily informed by the games and he has such a reverence for the series
Still Undone5Remembering that bad show, the only good part of which was our dearly departed Lance as Wesker, where they just randomly started pulling out fan service like the baghead chainsaw guy and the Red9 and I was just thinking “I’m a fan and I fucking hate this, so who is it actually for?” Now we know.
Bill3saw a trailer for it at the IMAX. Are ALL you people teenagers?
satchelb85.bsky.social1You are correct. People need to be happy with the fact that Cregger wanted to do this at all.
jort-hk.bsky.social1I do want him to change the health items from herbs to a gallon of PCP though.
Director said something stupid I no longer have hope for the resident evil movie
F Kellingto8Oh no what did they say
ellie4he keeps responding to nerds and I wish he wouldnt.
dkking2.bsky.social1Tbh they just made a big deal showing a clip of a bunch of zombies suicide bombing and cartoonishly splatting on the ground. Part of me feels like the “grounded” comment was more in regard to character writing.
🐉Dragon Keeper, Zag Galifianakis🐉1It’s okay though Sonic 4 is right around the corner
Kind of weirdly excited for the new Resident Evil movie? "Normal guy has a terrible time" is one of the stalwart plots. And "they're zombies, but like, it's complicated" are some of my favorite monsters. Hope he falls down a bunch 🤞
Blue sky nice ghost17I've never played a RE game except maybe in an arcade setting, but I did watch the cut-scene movie of Village and liked it a lot. Ethan elicited a lot of sympathy from me
Will Harris2I liked Zach Cregger's explanation of "what's the point of making a movie that's the story of the game, when you can just play the game to see that story"
a trans-inclusive burger jingle???1Me too! Cregger's movies have been imperfect, imo, in ways that piss me off, but man can he do SCARY THING RUNS AT YOU AND IS SCARY.
Brown Anthony™1I know next to nothing about this franchise but I already bought my ticket just because Zach Cregger + zombies can't be bad.
tessesseff1it's been so long since I've seen a movie trailer and thought oh wow that was a great short film
Josh Rosenblatt1I hope it really captures the message from Resident Evil 7 and 8 that really awful things will be constantly happening to a guy’s hands.
Experience a new vision of evil. From the mind of Zach Cregger, director of Weapons and Barbarian. Filmed for IMAX — Resident Evil is in theatres 9.18. #ResidentEvil - Get tickets now. ow.ly/UG3F50ZHutr
Crockett Houghton6I'm very excited for this.
Not to be a downer or rain on anyone's parade but i think im going to skip the Resident Evil movie and maybe catch it a year or 2 from now when its free to watch. Zach kind of killed the hype for it for me 😔 Theres understanding what makes an RE, then there being able to CAPTURE that magic
✨ Zanarkand Starlight 🌙8Kinda like everyone is now on this trend of toning down the original RE story by saying "OMG RE has always been quirky and didnt make sense" and uses some silly moments demean a really good story. Also...its come to my attention ALLLLLLOOOOT of people dont read the notes of the original.
Nick1After seeing Weapons, I became even more excited for the movie. I am bought in on his vision and hope not to be disappointed.
brigadierginger.bsky.social1Yeah that's fair. It looks like it'll be a good horror movie, but it really doesn't scream Resident Evil to me. I also don't know if you even can do an adaptation of classic RE in the modern movie environment at this point honestly. I might still go see it, but I'm not chomping at the bit to.
