There is No Dancing in This ‘Resident Evil 0’ Dev Diary
Not unlike the walking corpse that shambles mindlessly toward its living sustenance, slowed by rot and rigor mortis, the Resident Evil 0 remaster is taking goddamn forever to get here.
I’ve just about reached the end of my rope. I can feel it, my patience is waning. It’s gradually being replaced by a need to satiate this newfound hunger. My cravings aren’t unusual, it may even be inhuman. Quieting the horrific howls of this undead tummy is going to take something like the fourth video in a series of developer diaries for a game like, oh I don’t know, Resident Evil 0, I guess.
In related news, remember that Contagion browser game Capcom launched about a year ago to get us pumped for the Resident Evil remaster that released in January? It’s back now, and this time, the prizes they’re offering are of the tangible persuasion, as in the sort of goods you can rub lovingly against your face, should you feel so inclined. Go ahead, give it a try.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
