@b1ondeath This feels like such an Americo-centric take, like assuming worst case scenario, every major studios in the US stop making movies for no reason. You'd still have movies being made in the rest of America, in Europe, in Africa, in Asia.
@MacIntoshEDU Two things. 1. They *announced* it in 2023, we've had some games that were announced 5 years ago that still haven't come out. I don't think the game even was that far in development at that point
2. 3 years is really not out of the ordinary long at this point lol
@kiddbanditpro Honestly, the fact we have these two with very constrating tones feel very right for Superman and Batman, more than them both being dark and broody.
@LP_LaPresse "Inspiré par les uniformes de Starship Troopers" Ils sont conscient que le film parodiait le fascisme et les régimes ultramilitaristes right ???
@PGenkie Yeah I think that's the unfortunate conflict here, where Zach clearly was excited to do a story IN the Resident Evil universe, where fans wanted an adaptation.
@PGenkie@DiscussingFilm Yeah I get they've not been GOOD, but I understand why from a filmmakers perspective why it wouldn't be interesting to rethread characters and stories already done before. To me I find the idea of a story set in the universe without being trapped by canon way more interesting.
@DiscussingFilm Honestly, good for him if he found something he enjoys more. It is true that voice acting is fundamentally different from live action acting.
@SteveRudzinski Here's the thing, I wouldn't change anything from the games. It works for the games. I just don't think it has worked for the movies, like at all.
Because you can't have a Mr. X type characted in your movie if he has no reasons to be there, or no explanations given for him. You have to dedicate film time to that, and that probably takes away from what he wants to do.
@RealEarthSmoker That's why I said more or less. I think he wants to focus on the more grounded concept of a dude trying to survive Raccoon City. I think he just wants to keep the plot as simple as possible.
