Own This Replica ‘Resident Evil 6’ Leon Kennedy Jacket (And More)
Okay, so Resident Evil 6 wasn’t exactly what fans wanted in the series. Which is why Resident Evil VII had to straighten things out by being a much-needed return to traditional survival horror. But I think we can agree that the graphics certainly looked good, as did the wardobe.
Speaking of which, Leon’s awesome RE6 jacket has been meticulously recreated by California-based Angel Jackets, and is available for you to buy right now! According to the description, this jacket is made of “authentic quality real leather”, and has been recreated right down to the lining. Yeah, I know that some fans prefer Leon’s jacket from Resident Evil 4, but this has that badass look to it that the other one just can’t quite capture.
Angel Jackets also has other jackets/vests that have been recreated from other films/TV shows, such as Negan’s jacket from The Walking Dead, Logan’s jacket from Wolverine, Mad Max’s jacket from the original Mad Max, and that awesome scorpion jacket Ryan Gosling wore in Drive. They also offer free shipping over $39. Get with your ordering here to get started on your cosplay.
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.
