Plain and simple, this is a topic enough for discussion that needs little to nothing elaborated on: tell Paul W.S. Anderson via his Twitter what you want to see in the sequel to Afterlife.
Will he listen?
Paul W.S. Anderson Doing Afterlife Sequel Based On What Fans Want
I just wanted to see the motherfucking ambient, slow terror and old wallpapers of the first Resident Evil. I wanted to virtually taste the musty hallways of that goddamned Mansion during the unraveling of super fucked up experimenting. Allusion to the former normal lives of researchers, how they slowly succumbed to infection. Instead we got some bullshit.
Bullshit including James Purefoy *swoon*
" @Turbo_Toaster: I still love the first Resident Evil game, and I still think it would make a terrible movie. The tension is there because you are interacting with that environment. Watching people tip-toe through a mansion on-screen...man, there aren't many directors that can pull that off well AT ALL. I'd rather that Paul W.S. Anderson just takes the idea of "Resident Evil as a game is already kind of bat-shit bonkers" and goes whole-hog with it by making it as completely detached from the games as well as completely bat-shit bonkers he can make it. "I don't mind them not doing it by the book, but they went so far off the mark plus adding some blank and toneless character (Alice) probably for courting purposes, the creepiness of what Umbrella was doing was completely tertiary. Amnesia is bottom of the barrel in storytelling and they went balls-out with that. The other shame was how lazy they went with the zombies. Some of it I liked but man.
Also they filmed the 2nd one in my city. I saw them filming in the Cemetery and got some pictures of the burnt RPD cruisers. Was a pretty sweet day actually.
" Think about it - for once, all of the people that have said "Hollywood doesn't know how to make a video game movie"...FINALLY have the chance to say "here's how to make it"...and then see how much their own ideas DON'T WORK ON-SCREEN!!! "Yes. I highly doubt that a movie made by committee, that will be filtered via the director who made the other shitty movies, will be any good.
make the movie actually like the games. WOAH theres an idea.
dont make the main character a super human badass that is like NEVER in danger.
in fact, let the main character die and get mangled alive.

Do you guys remember that episode of Rocko's Modern Life where Rocko and Hef help Ralph Bighead and end up creating a show called Wacky Deli? Yeah, well I want the two minute clip of the first episode of Wacky Deli from that episode played on a continuous loop for roughly two hours. At about the twenty minute mark a white noise sound will slowly start to build up in the background. Eventaully this would transition into Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin and the volume would gradually rise as the film progressed. At the halfway point the film will break up into a split screen, with the left half being Wacky Deli and the right being the film from Room 23 from LOST. Every five minutes from this point on the film will abruptly go silent and the screen would switch to the Thursday Night Throwdown image of Brad and Jeff's heads photoshopped on to Scorpion and Subzero's bodies. Hold for exactly 11 seconds and then revert back to before. The last two minutes will consist of nothing but a dog eating a bowl of ketchup.

"Except that he's not gunna follow 99% of what's said anyway, and even if he did, he's such an incompetent director that it'd be his fault anyway. So not really..

"Come on man, he can do something with those giant spiders, surely! Then again, I don't really want him anywhere near actual Resident Evil. Save the good stuff for a talented director :/
That's the best thing about that Max Payne movie too. Some good director could make it, then not put in any of that angel crap, and make it like... the actual game or something.
Also, Super Mario Bros.
