‘Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps’ Confirmed, Still Not Official (Yet)
We won’t know what it is until Capcom is ready to share it with us, but the trademark the company filed with the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) earlier this month is definitely related to the Resident Evil franchise. Umm, surprise?
The confirmation came from DualShockers, which spotted another trademark, this time with the Japanese Patent and Trademark Office. It doesn’t have much else to say about the unannounced project, other than what we should call it, and that’s Biohazard: Umbrella Corps — or Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps, as it’s known here in the States.
Fans have been cautiously waiting to see if Resident Evil 7 will make good on Capcom’s promise to return the series to its roots in survival horror. It has the undesirable position of having to follow up arguably the worst entry in the main series.
After years of quality issues, Resident Evil has made a gradual, if decidedly strategic, comeback with the well-liked Revelations spin-offs, as well as the stunning HD remaster of the GameCube remake that first released in 2002. The only other game we know about right now is the Resident Evil 0 remaster that’s slated to release on all major platforms in early 2016.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
