On the arenaline vault i read that Capcom and Sony Pictures are banding together to make the first full length CG animated Resident Evil movie. According to the press release, the movie will feature groundbreaking visual effects and a brand new storyline. While the part of me that loves Resident Evil is dancing like a school girl right now, another part of me is skeptical.
This new movie could make us feel clean again, after rolling around in the filth of the three live-action RE movies. A new story, perhaps one not being pulled out of someone’s ass, would make this movie already better than the first three. Maybe this time they can just do what everyone wanted, and make a movie about the S.T.A.R.S. members kicking zombie butt for two hours.
The press release got me thinking, though. Popular game franchise + groundbreaking CG visuals + new storyline + Sony Pictures = Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. That movie was painful, and to this day, I cannot stay awake to finish the whole thing. Granted, when they tried again we got Advent Children, and that movie was just super.
I’m excited at the thought of new Resident Evil, but we’ve been burned so many times in the past, that I take news like this with a grain of salt. Who knows? Maybe it’ll be an incredible gore-fest of zombie carnage and machine gun fire. Or, maybe it’ll just pick up after RE: Extinction’s incredibly lame ending, and we can all take turns weeping and running each other over in the theater parking lot. Fingers crossed.
