Raise your hand if you can't wait for the new Resident Evil movie. No one? Okay. Screen Gems have recently set a release date for Resident Evil 6, and the upcoming sequel will hit theatres on September 12th, 2014. Now, thanks to First Showing, we now know that Paul W.S. Anderson is coming back to helm the next film in this (surprisingly) successful franchise starring Milla Jovovich as 'Alice'.

I'm not a big fan of these films, because, well, they are not that good. Which is a shame, since the video games are pretty great (especially the early ones). But, Resident Evil: Retribution, the latest film in the franchise, made over $220 million at the worldwide box office on a $65 million budget, so that's a nice profit for the studio. Anyway, we'll see about this new one, although Anderson's track record doesn't exactly boost up a whole lot of confidence.

Really don't understand how crap shows like these keep making sequel after sequel after sequel, when other properties with much more potential don't get a sequel green-lit even if the first movie didn't do so well.

I'm in the minority of folks who liked these movies. They remind me of crappy Sat afternoon movies from my childhood. But they lost even me at the fifth one. That bit with playing the beginning in reverse and forward again iritated the hell out of me. I won't be seeing the next one.

This is who these films should have been about.



Then they wanna slap me in the face and half ass throw Jill in this last movie.





@Jer3miah: Those Twilight fans not to be drug into the streets and caned then.

Guess I should also mention I worked at a movie theater for three years so I didn't pay any actual money to see these in theaters (saw the first two on TNT). That's another reason I won't see the next one. I can't get myself to pay actual money for this.

Crap like this get a sequel...while movies like Dredd get snubbed?





Those two scenes alone destroy whatever Paul W.S. Anderson has regurgitated onto film so far.

Please reboot this damn franchise or just STOP!
Unfortunately, as long as this keeps making money, they will keep making movies.

Plus these movies are starting to have a bad effect on the games.

As much as I think a more loyal and serious reboot would be great...

These...dare I still call them "movies"...are a bit of a guilty pleasure.

Just redboxed the last one this past weekend it was hilariously atrocious. Not only did it blatantly ripoff other more popular movies to the point of parody it also ripped itself off. Not only that, but did they really have to make it obvious that they dubbed Ada?
