Plot Details for ‘Resident Evil: The Final Chapter’ Revealed
Some more plot details for Resident Evil: The Final Chapter were revealed at this year’s CinemaCon. I’m going to go over known information first before heading into spoiler territory, so be aware that that’s coming up.
Obviously, we’re going to se the return of Milla Jovovich as Alice, Ali Larter as Claire Redfield and Shawn Roberts as Albert Wesker. Joining them will be Ruby Rose as Abigail and William Levy as Christian. Furthermore, the movie was written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and is scheduled to hit theaters on January 27th, 2017.
Okay, here we go into SPOILER TERRITORY:
According to Latino-Review, the movie will see Alice and her band of merry misfits return to Raccoon City, the origin of the T-virus. The site says, the footage shown at the Con included, “…quick glimpses of zombies, monsters, explosions and gunfire. It also has new costume looks for Alice, Claire Redfield and Albert Wesker.
But perhaps the most interesting and exciting piece of news to come from the footage shown is that there might be a new virus introduced into the film, one that is airborne and has the potential to either reverse or simply eradicate the zombie apocalypse.
I have to admit, the idea of a virus battling a virus is something I’d never thought of nor heard of before, so I’m impressed and intrigued!
Oh, and the subtitle of the movie? Yeah, supposedly the footage confirms that this will indeed by Alice’s final story. As for movies without her? Who knows?
Hollywood is serious about landing the next Backrooms. Hot on the heels of a Siren Head feature announcement, Deadline reports that a new movie based on viral YouTube series The Mandela Catalogue is in development.
It also has some Hollywood heavy hitters behind it.
Amblin Entertainment’s Steven Spielberg, United Artists’ Scott Stuber (Frankenstein), and Amazon MGM Studios are set to produce, emerging victorious after a highly competitive 11-studio bidding war.
Launched in 2021, the YouTube series is set in the fictional Mandela County, Wisconsin which is “invaded by shape-shifting, nearly immortal creatures called Alternates. The Alternates are led by a false depiction of the Archangel Gabriel and their aim is to wipe out the human race by psychologically torturing them to the point of suicide. The Alternates are known for manipulating AV media, TVs, computers and GPS systems.”
The movie will be directed by the series’ creator, Alex Kister, based on a screenplay he adapted with Tyler Clifton.
The Mandela Catalogue has racked up an impressive 100 million views across its official episodes alone, solidifying it as one of the largest original analog horror franchises on YouTube.
Spielberg and Holly Bario are producing for Amblin Entertainment alongside Aaron B. Koontz for Paper Street Pictures and Stuber and Nick Nesbitt for United Artists. Kister and Clifton are also producing. Annie McCreery will oversee the project for United Artists. Maria Fortese will oversee for Amblin.
