‘Resident Evil’ Animated Film Coming in 2017
There’s more than one Resident Evil film project in the works, and it’s going to be another animated flick. Much of it is still under wraps right now, but we do know it’s slated to release in 2017, after the live-action sequel Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
This will be the third feature-length CGI film in the series — following Degeneration in 2008 and Damnation in 2012 — and the first to replace Japanese animation house Digital Frontier with the Sega-owned Marza Animation Planet, which has previously worked on a number of animated films based on the Sonic franchise.
The film is being written by Makoto Fukami (Psycho-Pass) with Takanori Tsujimoto (Bushido Man) in the director’s seat. Capcom’s Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who produced the first two CGI films, will return as an executive supervisor. He is joined by executive producer Takashi Shimizu (The Grudge).
We now have two movies, a remaster, a bundle, a spin-off, a remake and, eventually, even a full-fledged sequel. Surely, one of these has to be good, right?
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
