All things RE in 2012 with Resident Evil 6 and Re5ident Evil: Retribution!

It seems Capcom is having a big 2012 with all things Resident Evil (also known as Bio Hazard in Japan). Not only do we get a trailer for the next movie starring Milla Jovovich as Alice, but also one for a NEW GAME slated for release at the end of this year, and it stars none other than the main male leads of the series, Chris Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy! Thanks goes to Kotaku and Comic Book Movie for the news!

First Look at Leon S. Kennedy on the set of Resident Evil: Retribution

Via her official Twitter account and through posts in Shock Til You Drop and Comic Book Resources, Milla Jovovich has updated fans with a video what's going on in the set of her next Resident Evil movie, Resident Evil: Retribution. Once again directed by her hubby director Paul W.S. Anderson, the film picks up where the last one left off, with Milla's character Alice and her friends trying to finish off the Umbrella Corporation and its biological experiments once and for all, gaining new friends and allies who are familiar faces to those who've played the games (like yours truly). In fact, Shock Til You Drop has the video from Ms. Jovovich up which brings a close look at Retribution from Behind The Scenes, giving us our first look at Boris Kodjoe returning as Luther from Afterlife and the movie version of one Leon S. Kennedy, star of Resident Evil 2 and RE 4 who is going to be played by Johann Urb (also known as Sasha from Rolan Emmerich's 2012).


Resident Evil Retribution: Behind The Scenes and first look at Leon S. Kennedy

According to the Wikipedia profile of Retribution, Leon from Retribution is described as "the leader of the Resistance, who teams with Alice as she battles the Umbrella Corporation and the swarm of undead.". A far cry and distant version from the Leon I know and idolize from Capcom's Biohazard/ Resident Evil games, and the only similarities I see are the brown jacket and the name (which don't look like Leon's to begin with). Like I said of the past Anderson RE movies and as a big fan of the gaming franchise alone, this is totally different and I'm taking this as a separate entity unrelated to the source material. Clearly this isn't the Leon we all know from Resident Evil 4, so all I'm hoping is it delivers some worthy popcorn action at least. For more info, visit the source post at Milla's Twitter or the posts at Shock Til You Drop and CBM.

Resident Evil: Retribution delivers more zombie apocalypse action on September 12, 2012.

Paul W.S. Anderson confirms Resident Evil: Retribution

Love or hate it, the Resident Evil (aka Bio Hazard in Japan) movie franchise earned big bucks with its last entry, "Resident: Evil Afterlife". As a longtime fan of the series, the films by Paul W.S. Anderson have absolutely nothing to do with the games, save for porting characters, monsters, and the Umbrella Corporation elements and using them for his own interpretation of the concept. As I noted in my review of the last film, my initial disappointment in the franchise soon turned to respect for the continuity he has built up for the series. Now, the director is set to return with a fifth installment, which his wife and the main star of the movies, Milla Jovovich, called "Resident Evil: Retribution", and it's been confirmed by Anderson himself that is definitely the film's title.

As posted in Bloody Disgusting and Cinema Blend, Paul W.S. Anderson is slated to direct and work on RE: Retribution for a September 14, 2012 release. It will see Jovovich back in the role of Alice, as she works her way from Toronto to Tokyo to battle and put an end to the Umbrella Corporation once and for all. Also expected to return is actress Sienna Guillory, who played the live action version of the well known Resident Evil/ Bio Hazard heroine Jill Valentine. Guillory was last seen in a cameo appearance in Afterlife as Jill with a mind controlling device in her chest, mimicking her position and fate in the events of the video game Resident Evil 5. For additional details and info on the story, visit the source post at Bloody Disgusting and Cinema Blend!

UPDATE: It seems that they're bringing out the rest of the other "RE Character veterans" into this, as Bloody Disgusting also mentioned in their article that Retribution is looking to cast actors for the roles of "Barry Burton" and "Leon Scott Kennedy", two VERY WELL KNOWN figures in the RE Game mythos (especially the latter, who is the main hero in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4). Also, the role of Jill MAY be recast, but we won't know til future updates arrive.

Resident Evil: Retribution opens in conventional and 3D theaters on September 14, 2012!

Resident Evil: Afterlife Actors Take On RE 1 Acting!

The first Resident Evil/ Bio Hazard was a classic for its time, but it was also notorious for delivering one of the worst and most hilarious B Movie voice acting in video game history. I can attest to the game's silliness, and the lines were so memorable that I'd actually find myself mumbling them on random situations! Take for instance these scenes from Jill's scenario of the original game:

Ah yes. A true classic at work. Now we come to the main dish.

Kotaku has a post that features Resident Evil Afterlife star Milla Jovovich and her fellow co-stars actually reading lines from the original RE! You gotta see it for yourselves to believe it, and laugh away on how these stars give their take on things!

Movie Review: Resident Evil: Afterlife

As a longtime follower of the Bio Hazard/ Resident Evil series, I wasn't the biggest fan of Paul W.S Anderson's movie adaptations. Right from the start of the first movie, the plot strayed away greatly from what was established by the games, instead giving moviegoer folks a shoddy "Hollywood treatment" of the game that was more survival action than survival horror. Yes, I didn't think of it as a true Resident Evil movie, and I'm still waiting for the day Capcom will actually commission a true adaptation to made.


Resident Evil: Afterlife Trailer

However, I must point out that despite all its inconsistencies and discrepancies, the universe Paul W.S Anderson has crafted for his vision of Resident Evil has remained remarkably consistent with each and every sequel chugged out in the market. His wife, actress Milla Jovovich, has remained the central figure throughout the movies, and although it's an original character put together for the movie, she does interact with the primary figures headlining the games, such as the Redfield siblings, Jill Valentine, and even main antagonist Albert Wesker. Their characterizations in the film universe are barely similar to their video game counterparts though, and I won't go into details on how they differ. All that I can say is that they're pretty unique for the movies, so they can be considered "alternate universe" counterparts to the ones fans know and love in the games, and that even includes the zombies and monstrosities created by the Umbrella Corporation, who continue to be pests and targets for a bullet regardless.

Milla Jovovich Launches Out In Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D!

A "new dimension of evil" is coming, and as a fan of Resident Evil/ Bio Hazard, it's still a totally different world from the games I know and played back in the day.

Via Enewsi, here is the new poster of Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D, the latest sequel in director Paul W.S. Anderson's series of films based on the popular video game franchise of the same name by Capcom, but has spun its own alternative take on the saga itself. Mr. Anderson's wife, actress Milla Jovovich, reprises her role as the lead heroine Alice, as she embarks on a new adventure to stop Zombies, save survivors, and end the destruction unleashed by the Umbrella Corporation once and for all. Those fond of the videogames should know that Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) returns from the last movie, Extinction, as well as Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) from the second movie, Apocalypse! Also, Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts) will finally have a showdown with the heroes, and what's more, Claire's brother, Chris Redfield (Prison Break's Wentworth Miller), will finally join the cast and battle it out alongside Alice and crew! For more details, the synopsis and rest of the info can be found via Enewsi and IGN, so jump over and take a look.

Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D debuts on September 10, 2010 this year!

Checking On Resident Evil: Afterlife...

As seen in Kotaku, here's a look at the new Resident Evil: Afterlife poster. Check it and decide for yourselves if this is worth watching this Septmeber:

I'll admit, I'm not a big fan of the RE Hollywood treatment, but there's no denying that Milla Jovovich looks hot in that poster. Having done three movies already under the direction of her hubby, Paul W.S Anderson, this fourth flick, also coming out in 3D, will hopefully wrap things up once and for all and see Alice taking out the Umbrella Corporation and their zombies in a blaze of glory. I've seen all the films, and being a longtime player of the Resident Evil/ Bio Hazard games, none of them have anything to do with the source material besides incorporating familiar characters and monsters from said games. The plot is purely action oriented and stand alone, and anyone expecting a faithful interpretation of the franchise will be sorely disappointed. Besides Claire Redfield returning from the last movie, Chris Redfield will make his long awaited "film debut", and all of the heroes will go face to face with Albert Wesker, who's the main baddie of this new sequel. Anyone who likes the RE games best watch this with an open mind, if nothing else.
