While most fans can separate the Resident Evil films from the games and enjoy them for what they are, others will curse anyone and everyone involved.
As the star of these films Milla Jovovich - who plays Alice - knows a thing or two about this. We sat down with the Hollywood A-lister and had a chat about Resident Evil: Afterlife, the series and fan response.
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.
A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland.

Here's a quick summary of the interview, provided by projectumbrella.net:
- Milla Jovovich demanded her superhuman power to remain intact in RE Afterlife, but it was Paul [WS Anderson] who persuaded her to change her mind. In the end, they settled for a compromise where Alice will have her power stripped but still gets to be a badass in the movie.
- She originally requested to be cast as Jill Valentine in the 1st movie because she want to surprise her brother, who was a RE fan. It was again Paul Anderson who convinced her that it wouldn't work because it will stop them from reaching out to the audience who ain't fan of the game series, and that they don't want to get stuck using Capcom's storyline.
- Regarding the fans backlash, she talks about how there are like 15 people in the world that passionately hates her. When she tell them to write the script themselves instead, she claims that these people will then argue and disagree themselves.
- Alice was created so non-fans can jump into the movie without knowing the history of the character.
- There are many fans of Alice and the RE movies from what she sees on her twitter.
- She loves being a part of the RE movies because she "was always a fan of really strong female characters growing up"
We don't hate you, just the producer. They just give resident evil a bad name, because they are just Ok to bad films and are hardly horror so the fans see it as a missed oppertunity(be a much more successful horror/mystery imo with Umbrella and that) but they had to take the action movie route....
I never hated on Alice. Resident Evil 1 is the best one love that movie but the rest are pretty awful.
Wanna take her in the arse!
Well Milla, maybe if the movies weren't horrible abominations that spit in the face of everything Resident Evil stands for, people would be less inclined to hate you and your terrible-at-directing husband.
