Fans of Resident Evil's zombie-killing action can rejoice in the release of the HD remake of Resident Evil: Revelations for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC. Accompanying the game's release is a launch trailer that serves as a brief teaser for the horror on the high seas that will meet players upon stepping foot on the Queen Zenobia.
Hungry for more Resident Evil goodness? Well, you better develop some sea legs before you step aboard the S.S. Queen Zenobia in the upcoming console remake of Resident Evil: Revelations. And just to give you a refresher on what the game is all about, Capcom has released a new video in which CapcomUnity's Brelston takes a look at the game's more distinguishing aspects.
Often horror sequels run out of steam the further they go along, but -- for one reason or another -- the 'Resident Evil' films have proved very successful, especially internationally. That may be why the sixth film in the franchise is now dated for September 12, 2014 .
The ‘Resident Evil’ movies could probably go on forever. There’s seemingly no serious narrative goal, and each installment is little more than a guilty pleasure for its fans. While the latest sequel, ‘Resident Evil: Retribution,’ debuted to the lowest numbers since the first film, its opening weekend box office take is still not much lower than the series best. They’re not huge money makers, but they are pretty consistent, and it shouldn’t be overlooked that they also earn about 70% of their total gross overseas.
So, as the final cliff-hanging moment of ‘Retribution’ promises, yes, there will be a part six.
How do you define a hit? What's more important: total gross or actual audience enthusiasm? The answer to this question will help us decide who actually won the weekend. Call it the "Battle of the Paul Andersons": Paul WS Anderson's 'Resident Evil: Retribution' and Paul Thomas Anderson's 'The Master' both opened this week and both had completely different results, but they beg to be compared to each other.
Here's the problem with the 'Resident Evil' movies: they feel more like video games than the video games they're based on. Capcom's 'Resident Evil' is dark, sinister, disturbing, and cinematic. Paul W.S. Anderson's 'Resident Evil: Retribution' is loud, violent, hectic, and dumb. It's like taking the world's greatest wagyu beef steak and grinding it to make a greasy hamburger.
We got more than a good look at Director Paul W.S. Anderson's latest, 'Resident Evil: Retribution,' back at the San Diego Comic-Con panel, but apparently, there was even more to be had as the film had to be cut down for today's theatrical premiere, leaving many scenes to be left unwatched by the public... at least for now.
Another day, another selection of footage from 'Resident Evil: Retribution'! How long until we have an 'Amazing Spider-Man' situation on our hands and can assemble this entire movie from various free clips and trailers?
Although we're currently in the movie doldrums, there are two big action movies looking to make a splash this September. On one hand, you've got 'Dredd,' a reboot of a comic book franchise that was dead on arrival in its original 1995 incarnation, and you've got 'Resident Evil: Retribution,' the fifth entry in a series that, like its zombie villains, refuses to die. Now, the former has a new featurette and the latter has a handful of new TV spots.
Do we really need to know he plot of 'Resident Evil: Retribution'? In fact, does the movie even need a plot? Heck, does the movie even need a script? As long as the finished product is ninety minutes of Milla Jovovich kicking henchmen and shooting mutants, the fans will be satisfied and it'll make an easy $50 million at the box office, guaranteeing a 'Resident Evil 6.' Anyway, four new clips from the film are online for your viewing pleasure.
