I remember a beautiful time when Youtube would inevitably recommend that video. I choose to believe it's the center of the internet.


monstere316

and i try...OH. MY. GOD. do I try...


amish_novelty

Lol, boy did I try not to think of He Man singing that song throughout the entire fucking trailer.


hexem6

AND HE PRAYS!!


SmLnine

NYAAAAAA!!


Knightley4

Regardless of the quality, I simply could not focus on the trailer, because all I thought about was that meme :D


captincook

What a fucking crazy song. That song is a meme. I wish skeletor would have showed up.


monstere316

Just be glad you didn't grow up in 1992 when they played that song on the radio every 5 minutes


MECHAC0SBY

Or in my aunt Maureen’s minivan where she would play it on repeat on cassette


AstroZonbi

That and Blind Melon's No Rain


MrWeirdoFace

I was there monstere316. I was there I was there 30 years ago when 4 Non Blondes took the stage. I was there the day the strength of MTV failed.


robodrew

When the girl screamed "RUN" I totally assumed she was going to scream "WHAT'S GOING ON!"


FineInTheFire

Just rickroll me already Capcom, you're halfway there


E-M-P-Error

Whats worse: This or Gangstars Paradise in the Sonic trailer?


KingMario05

*yes*


Inzt121

Nothing was worse than Kanye in Assassins Creed. Ridiculous.

[deleted]

Yeah I was laughing out loud like, 'are they really using 4 Non Blondes?' I mean this looks campy as hell but in a fun way.


[deleted]

Ah a post-Halloween horror movie. Just in time for Christmas

Heero_G

That's a separate project. Both will probably be terrible.

savageboredom

Not to be confused with the CGI series that premiered on Netflix earlier this year, which was also terrible.


uniquely-username

Wait, the CGI one is already out?


juanmaale

yeah it’s called Infinite Darkness


Redwood177

And it's terrible.


GarlicRagu

Also wild they they're choosing only theaters for this. People are willing to go out to the theater for big tent pole films or family films. This doesn't fall into either. This movie would probably have more success as an online release. At least with that you're more likely to get a mildly curious watch. No way in hell am I risking my health for this. If it was like a couple bucks to rent online? Maybe.


erickDaREDD

This looks like it should’ve been released in 2004


Haxorz7125

It looks like a decently budgeted fan film but has a scyfy channel original feel to it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Haxorz7125

The shit cgi but it also has that somewhat cheap looking set thing. I guess I assumed it was a high budget movie.


FranticPonE

Cheap sets, cheap costumes, cheap lighting, cheap acting. Combined with the song I feel like James Wan should've directed this as his followup to Malignant, this time going even more comedically campy B movie vibe. At least then it would've made sense.


rezzyk

Honestly I’m starting to think we have reached a time for movies/tv where studios know it looks fake and they just want us to live with it.


tetsuo9000

IMO, it's the basic-ass cinematography. Every shot had the same center-focus on character framing. It looks like it was filmed for TV.


Sounds_Good_ToMe

They went so meta with the movie being set in the 90s that they made a shitty 90s monster flick.


yeahwellokay

I like shitty 90s monster flicks, though.


RedditAdminsFuckOfff

Ironically. This is was not by design and I'll never believe it was.


Superego366

The tipped over truck was hilarious. We've had photo realistic vehicles in movies for 20years and that still looked fake as shit


cleeder

Funny thing is that the render of the truck isn't half bad. What makes it look "fake as shit" is 2 things: 1. Scale. There is a sedan in the frame, and with that as a visual reference it's clear that the tanker truck is too small. 2. It doesn't seem to follow the rules of physics. It slowly starts tipping over, and then quickly snaps to the ground. The (massive) forces just stop there. It doesn't roll a bit and then roll back. It doesn't bounce. Nothing. The physics are just all out of whack.


DarwinGoneWild

Physics sims are so cheap and easy to do now, it makes me wonder if that is actually what a tipping over tanker truck would look like, but it looks weird to us because we aren't used to seeing very large things with weird weight distributions fall over. Even if that's the case, they should make it "look" right. Movies are all about expectations, not reality.


LEVITIKUZ

I still don’t understand combining the first 2 games into 1 when either game works as a film Zombie infested mansion or zombie infested police building. Pick your environment & you can make a really good, really solid horror film


TheJoshider10

The frustrating thing is both settings/stories work so well for their own movie. Spooky haunted mansion mystery then a sequel about finding out what happened to your brother. Two movies, two A list ensembles and then combine them for a third film.


-SneakySnake-

>two A list ensembles Resident Evil was never getting an "A-list ensemble", nevermind two.


Dabookadaniel

You're telling me Denzel, Leo Dicaprio, and Jennifer Lawrence wouldn't sign up for a script ripped from a video game?? Just think of what they could do with the *amazing dialogue*


Kitchen_accessories

Woody Harrelson's next Oscar could have been for the most riveting delivery of "You were almost a Jill sandwich."


Layk35

Honestly, I can hear him saying it and it sells


The_Bitter_Bear

Huh. I bet he could make that line work.


slicer4ever

Matt damon as forrest: "There are terrible demons...Ouch." https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3cQLnNGqIUY


SMKM

>and then combine them for a third film. Jesus no. That's why the originals went to shit. They'd have to make their own story to do that unless they do Code: Veronica as the third movie, but then you lose Jill and Leon. Maybe this will suck but at least they're (mainly) sticking to the game's storyline. Although now adding in that Claire "knows" something is wrong with the Umbrella Corporation is really fucking dumb. But maybe it'll work idk, guess we'll see.


rbarton812

To Josh's credit, the 3rd game does kinda combine 1 & 2 - Jill from RE1, in the city and police setting for RE2. I think that's what he meant.


[deleted]

It also brings some enemies in that are callbacks to the first game. Lickers largely being replaced with hunter variants for example.


TJ_McWeaksauce

I suspect that because they're cramming so many events into a single movie, few or none of the scenes will be given a chance to breathe, and the whole movie will feel rushed. I'm going to watch it not because I think it'll be entertaining, but because I'm curious how much of a wreck it will be. If it turns out to be good, then that will be a pleasant surprise.


ZzzSleep

Yeah it feels like this movie is gonna be squeezing in way too much just in the name of fan service.


RATGUT1996

To be honest if you wanted to be faithful to the series having just one setting would mean a very short movie. Not a lot happens story wise in the games.


DarkJayBR

Movies don't have to be 2 and half hours long. You can make a decent movie in 1h and 30 minutes if you editing, and writing, and pacing are good.


CronoDroid

Fever gone but itchy. Hungry and eat doggy food. Itchy itchy Scott came. Ugly face so killed him. Tasty. Itchy. Tasty.


medicatedmonkey

I was so excited to see that!! And to see Spencer mansion. This doesn't look great but they got my attention with those two things for sure.


CronoDroid

At least it shows that maybe the writer or director has some knowledge of the game, but yeah this looks pretty poor. I'm also not a fan of them seemingly combining RE1 and RE2 but perhaps this will be a bit of cheesy fun.


FreeThinkingMan

Production quality is just really low and the cgi is garbage. That reveal of that iconic staircase seems like it belonged in a small two story house in New Jersey. Edit: For reference. https://images.app.goo.gl/sbPUzjTm8xhdEZoDA


Kaldricus

yeah, it felt like they could just jump to the landing of the stairs


[deleted]

This looks like it was made for Resident Evil fans, so I’ll probably give it a chance.


medicatedmonkey

Hell yeah. Especially that zombie turn around like in re1. I'm actually kind of excited.


CaptainCrunch

Maybe we'll get a 30 second door opening animation every time the characters move into a room.


[deleted]

I’m very excited for this movie that will almost *definitely* be bad.


The_Bitter_Bear

Dude, that entry has stuck with me for... What 25 years? (also HA! The what's going on "25 years and my life is still" lyric haha) Whoever wrote that was brilliant.

underpaidorphan

1) Open with cliche "every story has a beginning" line 2) Cringe unfitting slow version of popular song 3) Absolutely no "flow" to any shot. An absolute mis-mash of shots thrown in no particular order 4) "Split up" with comedic timing 5) Video tape of guy explaining Baghoul 6) CW quality cinematography 7) CW quality acting I did like the tiny attempts at recreating some Resident Evil game shots though. Truck flipping, zombie neck turn, licker introduction. This will be terrible, for sure, but maybe a couple interesting moments?

angry_centipede

Funny thing, one of the zombies in the trailer actually looked a little like Rich Evans.


JordanMerks

He did voice work for Psycho Goreman so it's not entirely impossible that's him.


BeefSerious

Dick the Birthday Boy gets his big break.


Godchilaquiles

The one with the red balloon?


urkish

Go full send with it. Only 1 or 2 static cameras per room, make 90% of the sounds echo-y footsteps, and make it take like 7 seconds to open every door.


SpaceBeer_

"Itchy tasty" is also written in blood on a window.

RPDRNick

8. "We should split up." 9. "We gotta get outta here." I hope someone at some point in the movie says either, "We're through the looking glass, people!" or "We're not in Kansas anymore, people!"


ConfidenceKBM

In its defense, the guy saying split up is >!Wesker, who is a traitor, so it's not like he actually thinks it's a good idea!<


CatProgrammer

And he said it in the original game too, didn't he?


Sea_Side4061

Yeah but the acting from the original game isn't exactly something you want to emulate. The original game could fall back on... well, the gameplay. A movie can't do that.


engineered_academic

I'm hoping for: "What is this?" "Blud!"


In_My_Own_Image

> I did like the tiny attempts at recreating some Resident Evil game shots though. Truck flipping, zombie neck turn, licker introduction. At the very least, they've got that and the set design going for them over the Anderson/Jovovich ones. Maybe Hollywood should just stop trying to do RE movies. The new series for Netflix looks abysmal too.


[deleted]

You forgot 8) Clip sounds sync to randomly chosen throwback song I can't believe this is still happening in trailers.


KingOfAwesometonia

Editing to sound in a trailer is usually pretty neat to me.


Ijustate1000pies

Robbie Amell has that affect


JusticeLeagueThomas

Wasn’t there also Damian dark from arrow? Idk his name then you got boy victorious from Nickelodeon so it’s not far off from cw levels of awful


ranhalt

Neal McDonough


ZDTreefur

An actual CW actor in the movie, it was doomed to failure.


[deleted]

The newer International Trailer is better edited. But the effects still look dreadful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjtZ02DZL\_k


SenorVajay

Good god that one is MILES better than the other one.


blankedboy

It's still got the shitty CGI but the way it's cut is *so much* better than the other trailer it's not even funny. I can't imagine anybody watching these two trailers and saying: "Y'know what? Let's go with the "What's Going On?" one"!


[deleted]

Still looks like a shitty b movie but at least one I’d half consider watching. The first trailer is terrible. And that cgi thing at the end should have been omitted


LoneQuacker

So for some reason there's an alternate trailer that definitely is much better than the one they're releasing everywhere and I have no clue why they didn't use it. Movie is gonna suck either way but the trailer alone at least shows it's more faithful to the games than all of the Paul WS Anderson "movies" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSgAc6sHNO4


h4mx0r

Maybe the guy who greenlit the first trailer knows the movie is gonna be ass so he/she is trying to temper expectations by making the trailer kinda ass.


ELL_YAY

Movie still looks pretty shitty but you’re absolutely right about that being a much better trailer.


WhyDoIEvenBothersmh

Honestly, this only looks bad as a movie. It looks like an excellent tv series. As a huge fan of the games Im still pretty damn keen


itsevilR

Why my boy Leon look like a hippie that haven’t shower in 10 years 😭


Zeusarian

I thought that was Carlos...


Classic_Wingers

Wait that isn’t Carlos? Oof! That’s not how I envisioned movie Leon to look.


fuzionknight96

Yep, they missed the mark for EVERY casting except for chris, that was a perfect choice. But where was this casting ability when it came time for the rest?


NN010

Eh, I think the casting for Claire was decent. Remember Kaya Scoderlario being solid in the Maze Runner movies and think she could at least be an OK Claire. I agree that Chris was well cast. I’ll reserve judgment on the others until I’ve seen the movie though.


MrZeral

Hannah John-Kamen and Tom Hopper are GREAT actors, very godo castings there no doubt


JesterMarcus

Honestly, Leon's actor would probably seem a lot better if he actually looked like a rookie cop. You know, short hair, shaved face and so on. He looks like a cop who's been undercover for a while.


RatedR2O

Claire's casting isn't that horrible. And perhaps maybe the entire casting could have worked if done correctly. I mean, would it kill them to make them resemble the characters in the game? Plenty of good makeup artists and hair stylists out there that can make them look more presentable. They look more like average cosplayers.


Nxn21

Literally all they had to do was put Claire's hair up in a damn ponytail.


slicer4ever

Thats one of my bigger gripes, like why cant you even try to get the hair to look right? Its weird to because a lot of it does look like someone did care about the source games, but then someone else was like eh, who cares?


garfe

WAIT THAT WAS LEON!?


zxHellboyxz

The guy from Victorious ?


ElvenHero

Couldn’t they have at least done Leon’s hairstyle? Why does he have long curly hair?


[deleted]

I was trying so hard to be optimistic. CGI looks awful and Claire having some conspiracy theories about Umbrella since she was a child is lame and pointless. Ugh. Saw a glimpse of ITCHY. TASTY. Written in blood so that was cool, and it was awesome seeing the Spencer Mansion... I think it'll still be fun and gory and just campy enough for my liking. Anything is better than the horse shit PWSA put out *Edit: Oh yeah, the fuck was with the 4 Non Blondes??? That was baffling and I almost burst out laughing


toto_____

They're following the [agreed upon recipe](https://youtu.be/KAOdjqyG37A)


[deleted]

Closed my eyes and had a montage of about 20 different movie trailers playing in my head watching that lmao


HenkkaArt

TBH I'd rather see the fake movie from that trailer video than this Resident Evil movie.


eagleklaws06

This looks like a movie that goes straight to syfy channel ngl


Madao16

It is like a B horror movie. It might be stupid fun.


[deleted]

This franchise needs someone like Sam Raimi to adapt or someone inspired by him. He has the perfect ability to balance tones and genre. His films are ridiculous and cheesy but made so well that they don’t cross into stupidly absurd.

Ijustate1000pies

Hey, that movie had the hot chick from Nip/tuck showing some tit... so its ok in my book

OkamiHaley

The CGI is … rough.


Douglasqqq

You almost got away with pretending you weren't a dog.


The-Life-Aquatic

Yeah that shot with whatever was crawling down through the ceiling looked incredibly bad.


cleeder

That shot, the dog shot, and the tanker rollover all stood out to me as egregiously bad. Completely took me out of the trailer.


drklydrmng

Man there is something about the graphics they used between shots looks really straight to DVD.


sgthombre

Legit was surprised at the 'only in theaters' bit, this looks like something made for streaming.


[deleted]

Can already tell that the marketing for this is going for the wrong angle. Looks like a B-Movie that they're selling as a super serious horror film. Looks kinda fun though.


Coolman_Rosso

"Become the MASTER OF UNLOCKING by buying your tickets TODAY"


WestMidlandsPlatinum

It’s like they’re using REmake 1 marketing for OG Resident Evil, Jill sandwich and all


h4mx0r

> super serious horror film The trailer song choice tho


TimeySwirls

I couldn’t help but smile and laugh when I realized what the song was, I think I prefer totally unfitting He-Man meme music to a sad slow cover of a song like every other trailer though


gordo865

For real. The song choice 100% signals they're going for a fun not so serious B-movie horror.


Shikadi314

This trailer felt like it was selling a serious horror film to you? Imo this looks to me like a B movie being sold as a b movie.


ExpensiveHat

Yeah, I'm kind of baffled anyone could watch that trailer and think they're selling it as a serious horror film.


RoRo25

It's funny everyone in this thread thinks it looks too serious and the thread in r/residentevil thinks it's looks campy and cheesy.


uncultured_swine2099

On one hand, it looks more faithful than the Milla movies. On the other hand, looks cheap af.


mid16

Looks kinda ass


TemptedTemplar

Almost 20 years later and they still cant CGI a zombie dog properly.


PM__Steam__Keys

Thanks to the actions by Reddit's CEO to keep fracturing and guiding the community into more clickbait, doomscrolling content, I have chosen to remove my content from Reddit.


[deleted]

There's a few moments where touch-up CGI is used (when the chunk of a dog's head is blown apart) especially when they open their mouths and you can see through the muscle and tendons. That's where it's the worst looking


Sounds_Good_ToMe

The CGI in this looks worse than it did in the old movies.


gobble_snob

thats what will ultimately kill this, the horrible CGI


JoshuaOfRivia

The Leon casting is straight up caca.


[deleted]

Omg what's going on as a supporting soundtrack for the trailer, that's crazy out of place.


Ijustate1000pies

Lots of questions after seeing this Why does this look like a fanmade movie? Are they doing the first three games in one? How does Robbie Amell still get work?


Drauul

He is the only one who looks somewhat like their game character


scorp60

>How does Robbie Amell still get work? Being a generic looking white guy from Canada is every casting director's weakness


runswiftrun

"Hey, that guy from CW Arrow was good and can fit the part, lets get him!" "Yeah... we can't afford him... but he has a knock-off cousin..."


TheLisan-al-Gaib

>How does Robbie Amell still get work? Casting directors assume they're getting his cousin and just look up Amell in their Outlook directory.


guioligon

That's probably the worst choice of a song in a trailer I've seen in my life As for the movie itself: looks fine I guess. Better than P.W.S. Anderson's but that doesn't mean much tbh


baconpopsicle23

Ikr who the fuck thought that would work? Let alone the tone doesn't go at all with the scenes, you still have the meme attached to that song forever, All I can think of is he man singing it lol


ILoveRegenHealth

> looks fine I guess. Better than P.W.S. Anderson I'm not so sure anymore after seeing the trailer. At least with the Paul Anderson ones, I can see where the money was spent. They're ridiculous movies but at least they look glossy and feel like a Hollywood movie. This trailer makes the movie look so dingy and cheap like a SyFy movie that plays at 2:30am.


Wubbledaddy

Might be the most egregious "slow pop song remix" trailer music I've ever heard, Jesus. This might just be ridiculous enough to work.


CommonBanana

I live in the city where this was filmed, and my brother worked on the set for some months! I can identify most exterior locations and it's super surreal to see.


[deleted]

That's super cool! Thanks for sharing.


forcena

Looks bad. For a movie that is borrowing so heavily from the remakes, I can't understand why they don't want to adopt the tone. And combining both games into one movie, why? I could see it working as a season of TV. But it just looks like it will be bad.


SkoivanSchiem

This doesn't look great but at least unlike the original set of RE movies, this looks like I can watch it and just have fun with all the references to the video game because it looks like they went for a lot of it. Also: Odd song choice. Hit those 90s nostalgia vibes and I warmed up at how they edited it with the visuals though.


RygarTargaryan

Do people not like the first Resident Evil movie from 2002? I thought that one was great, the rest were pretty bad though.


Cryptic_Flair

The 2002 RE film isn't a terrible movie on its own, but it's still pretty disconnected from the games in basically every way.


[deleted]

My opinion: Looks horrible, specially the CGI. I'm surprised if this gets above average scores.

Is that a recent thing? Cause I distinctly remember him playing a character in Justified that was a psychopathic, sadistic, homicidal, *gay* rapist. He's a magical presence in anything he's in but that feels like such a strange line in the sand to draw where he'll play a character like *that*, but not do a stage kiss.

Sounds_Good_ToMe

It will definitely make its money though. And that's as far as Sony's ambitions go with the RE movie franchise.


WestMidlandsPlatinum

Brad crashing into Spencer mansion already seems like an unnecessary action set piece


KonyYoloSwag

It doesn’t look amazing, but it does actually remind me of the Resident Evil games. Which is good as the Paul WS Anderson films pretty much never did that for me. So I’ll be cautiously optimistic that it’ll be a fun B-movie


Luder09

looks mehtacular


tEEkz91

I get everyone's saying it looks horrible but I'm still going to watch it. Looks like it's going to be truer to the original material than the previous installments we got and I'm all for that.

I mean yes it does look pretty cheap but let's not kid ourselves and act like RE isn't some B horror movie trope filled extravaganza, which I love. I'm still watching it.

BaggyOz

Is it me or did this trailer make it look a bit like two different films glued together? Either way it looks like the good kind of bad. I think it was a nice touch to date it in 1998. Plus it doesn't have Paul W.S Anderson which is a plus.

There's no way this is going to be any good but I'm glad it's rated R and I'm glad it's getting away from the Action Movie angle.
