In 2017, Resident Evil 6: The Final Chapter was released domestically and swept more than 1.2 billion at the box office.
As a low-cost R-rated film, relying on the influence of the game, the reputation of the entire series is lower than one, but the box office is rising steadily.
There is no doubt that the IP of "Resident Evil" still has a very large box office appeal.
Because of this, the old series is coming to an end, so it is only a matter of time before Resident Evil restarts.
As a result, the former CG animation "Infinite Darkness" and the live-action movie "New Life Crisis" were born.
Although the audience's evaluation of this animation is mixed, on the whole, it can be regarded as preserving the golden sign of the "Resident Evil" series.
And "New Life Crisis" also released the first trailer not long ago.
You know, the story of the old version of "Resident Evil" actually has little to do with the plot of the game.
Alice, played by the heroine Mira Jovovich, is also a fictional character.
It is only because the movie is too hot that many fans think that Alice is a character in the game.
This time, Resident Evil seems to want to please game fans, so the story is intended to get closer to the game plots of Resident Evil 1 and Resident Evil 2.
As a result, in addition to the familiar figures of the protagonists Leon, Gill, and Chris in the movie, they also truly restored the most famous "Western-style House Incident" of the entire Resident Evil.
It is said that in order to ensure the quality of the film, the producers bought the original designs of the Spencer Mansion and the Raccoon City Police Department from Capcom.
Based on this, the story of "Renaissance" is divided into two scenes, telling the story of the Western-style hall and the raccoon city police station.
It is worth mentioning that in order to return to the style and tone of the game itself, the producer invited Wen Ziren to be responsible for supervising the production, and he will give the reboot version the same horror thriller element as the original.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the character who surprised me the most, she is "Little Cute" Lisa Trevo.
But anyone who has played a Resident Evil game will have some sympathy for this character.
From the moment she appeared, she had a strong tragic color.
Lisa Trevo was originally the daughter of the builder of the mansion, but was kidnapped by the umbrella people, and she and her mother were later injected with the T virus as experimental objects.
As a result, under the ravages of the virus, Lisa has become a monster, but she has always maintained a consciousness in her mind - looking for her mother.
Based on the trailer and the official poster, the cast can basically be determined.
The first is the two absolute protagonists, Leon and Claire, played by Avan Jogja and Kaya Skoudario, respectively.
In my opinion, these two people are expected to disappoint game fans.
Stylistically, this version of Claire looks a bit out of line, especially the curls that seem to be a bit out of place.
And Lyon's casting is really incomprehensible.
You know, in the game, Lyon is an authentic American, handsome and handsome look like a small fresh meat.
And Leon in the movie, the difference in looks is too big.
Although Awan Choja is a Canadian actor, he inherits half of his father's blood and looks more like An Indian.
It is no wonder that some netizens will complain: "Is this an Indian version of Lyon?" ”
This is followed by the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Squad.
Chris, played by Robbie Amer, feels more in line with the image in the game.
And Jill, played by Hannah Jon-Carmen, is also quite passable, except for a bit of a hairstyle.
But Wesker, played by Tom Hopper, is simply full of slots.
Just from the look, the iconic sunglasses are gone, and it doesn't feel like that powerful aura.
Although the Old Resident Evil version of Wesker is super weak, the appearance is still very much in line with the original work.
If the role that most dissatisfied Chinese audiences is probably the candidate for King Ada.
Whether it is looks or temperament, it is far from the characters in the game.
Even if you can make up a little gap through makeup and performance, it is still unlikely to meet the player's expectations for the role of Ida King.
Overall, in terms of casting, this alone is difficult for game fans to be satisfied with.
However, according to the director, the highlight of the film is mainly in the story, which will give the audience the same immersive look and feel as playing the game.
However, according to my many years of experience, as long as it is a film produced by Wen Ziren, most of the quality is not bad.
