Shawn Roberts Talks Wesker in Resident Evil: Afterlife

[jagger916]

Then why make an RE movie, if it's not going to be RE?

[Canas Renvall]

I said this in another thread, but it's different when it's a movie. You may know the outcome, but a game is something you interact with. You control what happens. When it becomes a movie, you lose that interaction and keep the predictability. So it's a lose-lose.

People still bitching about the movies, why the surprise? They are corny as hell, but would be pointless if their scripts were the same as the games... everyone would know the outcome. Ever wondered why they are adaptations (as cliched and stupid at times as they are)? Now you know.

So what if we know the outcome? Most Res fan's know the outcome of the game's but does that stop you from playing them again? If Resident Evil 1 followed Remake it would have been a classic.

I know this has nothing to do, but come on!! Wesker was great in RE5, it was a great end they gave him (except the END END part of the game, but still), he was very well done.

On topic: yes, wesker will be fucked up in this movie, no doupt about it, but in the RE-movie-universe he will be GREAT!!!!

I said he was screwed because of the Spoiler:

show spoiler

molten lava bath that killed him. OK now I'm gonna cry

Otherwise, agreed. Twice.

My concern with this new movie is that it might screw Wesker more than RE5 did.

In one movie. And the psychic powers were in one other movie (not counting the last minute or so of Apocalypse, seeing as how... well, it's one minute). So what about the first one?

The first one is the only RE movie I like. Why? It keeps it's ties to the games while having it's own identity... No need to go "Mad Max" to sell. And Alice was a reasonable character for RE standards... until she got too much powers .

Edit: What I meant is Alexia has the mind-power to erect enormous tentacles to A. impede Claire and Steve about a mile away and B. kill supermutant Steve. What would that be called?

Good point. I think it has to be something like Saddler's control of Las Plagas. Still, it's not using her mind alone to kill a flock of murdering crows, or to fight a mutated pseudo-tyrant...

Wait, wut? Has Alexia used/had psychic powers (actual mind proyection / mind reading abilities)? Maybe Lucia, she had a "psychic" connection with the BOW (of RE Gaiden)... which unfortunately is a game not considered canon.

I agree, some game characters are over the top with their abilities: evil child geniuses, US Agents with more agility that a olympic gymnastic, uber-powered sneaky bastards and so on...

But I dunno, psychic powers is taking too much freedom with developing an RE story.
However that's not what bothers me, as I've stated many times when the RE movies topic is touched is the fact that Nemesis was changed into Steve. The most relentless, horryfing BOW transformed into a mere shadow of its former self.

[Canas Renvall]

but psychic powers? Come on...

So she's just Alexia Ashford then. Alexia was all but psychic... it's just changing who has those abilities, the protagonist instead of the antagonist.

People asked for more in the movies from the games after the first one, Paul gives you shit straight out of the games, and you still bitch about it. You can't be pleased, so just don't watch the damn movie if you don't want to. Jesus, is it really that hard for people who want to enjoy the movie to enjoy it?

(Sorry that I'm coming off pissy, I've had a really annoying day today.)

I agree that he's making an effort. The problem is that he takes too much liberty changing characters/settings and stuff.. I mean, look how Nemesis turned out: A wimpy BOW with a heart... Or getting Alice psychic powers? I mean, I know RE it's cheesy and unreal, but psychic powers? Come on...

I think he can make very great movies (Event Horizon is one of my favorite films, I see it as the real "Doom" movie), but not RE movies - IMO as an RE game fan.

" We have some fight scenes that are taken directly from the game. We're doing it for the fans so we want to do what makes them happy."

Omg.. just like the Code Veronica intro ripoff in the second movie?

[jagger916]

I'm telling you, this guy going to be found dead with a pair of sunglasses up his ass. You don't fuck with Wesker fans.

[Beanovsky Durst]

Dont blame the actor(s), blame the script writing, alot of the time the actor is only as good as the script...and directing of course.

He's to blame because he agreed to do the role of Wesker. And he gets money from that. And if he's a bad actor it affects the character.

No one can stop my rage. Wesker is holy.
