You know what is the best part about having your favorite videogame series become popular? All the great merchandise. That’s right: when it comes to Resident Evil, a plethora of goodies and hoodies await you. Dig in!
Astounding graphics, a brand spankin new camera system, interactive environments, and Ada Wong. Now where are the zombies? Read the full story
As is the current trend with all red hot video game franchises, Resident Evil has spawned a number of Hollywood films bearing its name. And as is the trend with those films, all of the characters were poorly casted (not to mention poorly portrayed) by some soulless, greedy suit who has never even played the games.
Instead of utilizing the many multifaceted video game characters as the main protagonist in Paul W. S. Anderson’s abominations, they chose to invent one out of thin air. Don’t get me wrong, Milla Jovovich possesses decent acting chops and her looks were pretty much the only reason to keep watching after the elevator scene, but why break what doesn’t need to be fixed? That would be like giving Lara Croft a cybernetic arm and a talking chimp sidekick voiced by Robin Williams.
If Capcom were to ever follow in the Dark Knight’s ever-wise footprints by eradicating the previous Resident Evil movies and starting from scratch, these are the actors and actresses who would not only talk the talk, but walk the walk when it comes to cracking zombie skulls and solving obscure puzzles while a room fills with noxious gas. If you like what you see, be sure to check out GEN’s previous Casting Couches as well: Left 4 Dead, Street Fighter, and Gears of War.
