The black hole of the writing/directing world is waxing off about inflicting more badly written, badly shot movies upon us...
In a world where a box office #1 is no indication of quality, Paul W.S. Anderson has gone on record to say that despite a critical mauling and a likely huge drop off at the B.O. much like his previous effort Alien vs Predator, we will have to suffer another insufferable installment of Resident Evil. He says;
""I always thought of the 'Resident Evil' films as a trilogy. The first film was a prequel to the game world. The new movie intersects the film and game worlds. And the third movie will act as a follow-up to the games. It's a nice arc -- prehistory, in-game and then a sequel to the games."
OK, I swear to God the next half-ass director that says they always imagined their movie to form a trilogy will receive a very personalised kick in the nuts from myself. Shut up, shut up, shut the hell up. Stu from Scream said "These days you gotta have a sequel, baby." Well that was 8 years ago, things have changed. These days you GOTTA have a trilogy or somehow you're a failure as a writer/director.
Sadly Paul Anderson isn't a failure despite having one of the worst critical track records ever and a history of writing scripts that would make the most ardent fan-fiction writer wince. So it is that, Resident Evil: Afterlife will no doubt infect our cinemas some time around November 2006.
Resident Evil was dumb but fun. Apocalypse was just dumb... how deep does the rabbit hole go. And more importantly, if the third movie is worse that Apocalypse, just how many more people will manage to convince themselves that this kind of junk is entertaining and worthwhile as are currently doing.
Where's Bill with that House of Rage...???
