Horror Resident Evil Reboot

[OutOfBoose]

Wait we're getting a faithful reboot?

We're getting faithful assets and locations, and actors who look nothing like game characters.

Original Resident Evil Movie Director Won't Rule Out Franchise Return

Lol

Yeah I saw that.

I hope someone higher up has one of those gentle 'wouldn't you like to move onto something else?' conversations with him.

Lol

big yikes. Keep this man away. How He is still getting work baffles me. Go away

 

[kguillou]

Unfortunately despite what we think his movies do well at the box office.

 

[Captain Tired]

Hopefully he'll get his chance to do another cut of Event Horizon and then we won't have to deal with his Alice anymore.

And then everyone will be happy.

 

[kguillou]

You know i’ll say this for whatever its worth, I’ve seen Anderson himself in interviews and he seems like a very nice humble guy. He doesnt seem like one of those directors who acts like his s*** dont stink. He seems to genuinely like this stuff its just...his stuff is not very good haha

Lol

Resident Evil Resurrection or Resurgence

Okay, I thought this was a NetfliX original series then an original film. I'm confused so the netfliX film is the animated one.

I'm fine with that I just hope theaters here are finally open when it arrives.

 

[TheVileOne]

Infinite Darkness is the Netflix animated. There's also a live action Netflix TV series about Wesker's daughters.

Oh noes. The actors look nothing like the all white depiction of America by Japanese game developers in the mid 90’s. The horror.

if there was one thing they could get away updating, it’s the actors’ looks.

 

[Lily Adler]

Huh I just realized how good Sienna Guillory could have been...

 

[Blade Hoarder]

Japan has always had an idealized view of America being pristinely Eurocentric. I mean, forget the 90’s. Look at Death Stranding, a Japanese game about America that came out in 2019. The only POC in the game wears a mask for 90 percent of it.

You were kidding yourself if you thought a Hollywood adaptation made in 2020 was not gonna axe the aryan perfection of the cast.

They're adapting Japanese work of fiction. Or we're going to update any work of fiction because it's not realistic at expense of being faithful? Let's remove Martian Manhunter from comics, because there's no life like that on Mars.

Hideo Kojima doesn't owe black people or America anything. I don't see Japanese people there either. If he wants to make games with "Aryan" characters in it - it's his choice. And there's nothing wrong with people expecting faithfulness to a source when it comes to adaptations.

 

[ironwez20]

Nobody said anything about owing black people anything lol

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

This continues to look so much like the game, hope it doesn’t disappoint.

Exactly. They are adapting something. Adoption always involves updating, axing, expanding, and embellishing elements of the material. In Ironman they had Tony Stark being kidnapped in Afghanistan rather than Vietnam. It was a smart adoption.

There is no reason to mimic the look of the characters down to a pixel. Especially not when Japan thinks America is Scandinavia. There is no reason to keep all the primary protagonists of Resident Evil white since their ethnicity has no bearing on plot, especially when it takes place in an American city.

As for your uninformed Death stranding rant, the game takes place in a post apocalyptic America. Not having black people there is kinda sus. No, Kohima and Japan is free to think America is a Aryan wonderland. But a Hollywood adaptation, if there ever is one, is free to course correct.

I accept freedom of expression and if they want to butcher original vision for whatever reason - more power to them. I still have the games. But I'm not gonna celebrate departure from iconic elements, even if they aren't realistic. I don't care about realism of RE. I don't want to watch a zombie apocalypse story set in US. I want to see familiar faces brought to life with power of live action. And this is the reason to preserve the look of characters.

As for Kojima, if Siberian taiga can look like South American jungle in Metal Gear Solid 3, so can US with barely any black people in Death Stranding. After all, he bases his games on US cinema, which is famous for wild inaccuracies.

 

[Iceman]

Nice. That shouts RE1 to me.

if you think changing the ethnicity of characters whose background have no bearing on plot butchers the original vision (hahahaha) , that’s your problem.

Wait, I thought you were big on accuracies? I guess not. The story could be set anywhere and not be butchered, as long as the characters remain white.

[TheVileOne]

I'm still not sure how you make a single movie combining RE1&2 while totally ignoring RE3. It makes no sense.
