The first stills from the upcoming fourth installment in the Resident Evil franchise have been released as of yesterday, and two specific images from the available selection simply scream Resident Evil 5 influence. I've been pretty down on the entire movie franchise since it began, since they've basically ripped the horror element out of the series and tossed a lot of big Hollywood stunts and explosions in there instead in the process of translating it to the big screen. Since that's pretty much what RE5 did to the game series, I actually think this particular film might hold some promise, and significantly more faith toward the source material.
Both of these stills seem pretty much ripped directly from RE5.
Afterlife = Resident Evil 5?
That guy on the left looks like chris redfield, I say at least they are making an effort to make it more like the game at the very least.
Wait...
An officially licensed RE film is "ripping off" an official RE game? Am I missing something?
" yeah, those do look like rip offs. kind of sad that it is happening like that. people ripping things off of other things. "I think Wesker looks pretty good too.

I've always been down with the stupid B-movie cheesiness of the RE movies because...well, I love cheesy B-movies. This seems alright since the dude playing Chris (I think he's some soap star or something) actually looks a little bit like Chris from 5 and the last movie was good for its retarded action movie-ness, and of course Linden Ashby.
" @ArcLyte said:Because Anderson didn't direct it. And he was barely involved in the writing process." this movie will be awesome because Paul W.S. Anderson is writing and directing, as he did for the first one. "how do you explain the last movie sucking so much it hurt "
" I'll go see it. The Resident Evil movies are a lot of fun, especially with others. Yeah they have not done a great job with the story, but then again the game fiction was terrible to begin with. "Not really to begin with, I'd say. Bad voice actors aside, I personally believed that the first two games had rather compelling narratives to them. After that, yeah, things got a little out of whack with Nemesis, Wesker returning to life, etc.
