Dead Legends and Resident Trailers


RESIDENT EVIL DEGENERATION TRAILER

We thought we had our fill of CGI zombies after seeing the
disappointing, yet record-breaking I Am Legend this weekend. The short verdict:
zombie (and vampire/zombie hybrid) films need to be rated “R”. An intensity that
was carried throughout the two 28 Days Later films, most of George A. Romero’s Dead series,
and even Zack Synder’s Dawn of the Dead remake was missing in Legend. Next at bat is Sony/Capcom with
a completely CGI film, Resident Evil Degeneration. We’re hoping the subtitle is
no way reflects the quality of the RE series.

We’ll wait until we actually hear some dialogue before we drop our gift cards at local retailers. Yes, Sony currently wants this film to go directly to video. It will be released “sometime in 2008.”

  1. Look too good for a STV (straight to video release). Sony must have a reason for a lack of confidence.

  2. Zombies in an airport, cuz malls are so overused.

  3. UR right, the voices could kill this easily. Hopefully, Sony won’t be stingy on the voice actors.

  4. Day one purchase for me. Good taste in Zom films, but no Fulci mention, Deserteagle?

  5. “Seven Years from Raccoon City”? Do they mean after? Nice Engrish, bad sign for American audiences.

  6. Nice catch.

  7. “Wise fwom your Gwave”- Altered Beast, 1991

  8. Bah, they should have turned Silent Hill into a CGI fest.

  9. Looks good. Can’t wait. I wonder what the running time will be?

  10. Looked photo-realistic until the girl walked into frame.

  11. Man, no interest. I’m sure this will be bad.

  12. Looks good, I think CGI films will offer filmmakers with a large scope the ability to deliver with a small budget. If nothing else, I buy this to signal Sony, Im willing to try new things.

  13. Looks cool. Wish they gave more info than just in ‘2008’….

  14. *Some spoilers for “I Am Legend”. Don’t read if you care about seeing the movie without knowing anything.*

    Hey, “I Am Legend” was good…that is until they decided to forget about all the set up with the vampires, have some woman and kid appear out of nowhere and tack on that lame ass Hollywood ending.
