Netflix is developing a scripted series based on the hit action horror franchise

According to Deadline, German production and distribution company Constantin Film which is behind the Resident Evil movies loosely based on the Capcom video game series, is the studio. Search is underway for a showrunner to shepherd the adaptation.

Milla's husband not directing/producing?

 

[Mr Hyde]

As long as Paul and Milla stay as far away as possible I´m game for more Resident Evil on the screen. Could also work much better on the small screen than on the big. Hopefully, they keep it closer to the games, atleast the first one should be a good premise to base the series on. Tone down the cheese and keep the suspense horror elements intact. Set it in the mansion, include Lisa Trevors plotline, ditch the snake and shark but keep the Tyrant and get the casting right and we got ourselves a winner. How fucking hard can it be?

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Could be cool, but i really hope it not as b-movie jank as the games.

As much as i love it in the games it doesnt belong in a wellproduced series

 

[Musky_Cheese]

Idea wise it seems like they are a few years late with this.

"Loosely based" is one way to put it...

Thank god.

 

[Verdanth]

This could be good or very bad.

Perhaps something similar to resident evil outbreak?

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

The first Mila RE movie was actually great, even though it was a bit re-imagined. The soundtrack was spot on too. Then the second movie came out and it was a pile of embarrassing shit ever since.

Yeah but if its Netflix doing then atleast its going to be decent

 

[Lanrutcon]

This could be awesome. Just don't Walking Dead it.

 

[GrayChild]

Cautiously optimistic. I guess even if it doesn't live up to the hype, it will be better than the live-action movie adaptation.

 

[AV]

I mean, it can't possibly be any worse than the movies, so sure, why not.

 

[ookami]

That's some great news. It can't be worse than those movies. However, I do have some concerns about how close they should follow the plot.
Do we want to see the adaptation of the game, even though we're really familiar with the events and will get few surprises or do we want a reinterpretation using the codes of the game?

 

[Nella]

Oh, that's really cool! I guess it'll be something like The Walking Dead? A show with zombies but with more emphasis on the characters rather than horror, since these type of mindless apocalypse horror shows usually don't rate very well.

 

[KiteGr]

I have mixed feelings about this...

 

[Rentahamster]

After the series of shit movies, I have low expectations for this.

 

[MetalSlug]

I would like if it was an animated series.

Imagine True Detective but with the STARS members, first season is just investigating grisly murders and weird surveillance by Umbrella.... Season 1 finale ends with Alpha Team's helicopter crashing in the Arklay Forest and them running towards the Spencer Mansion.

I'm getting a chub just thinking about it.

Don't set yourself up for disappointment friend.

Self harm is bad.

Right. I have the utmost faith that it will be a turd of the highest order. Such a shame, there's such a good movie/series to be had with RE 1/2/3.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Interesting. My first thought about this reminds of the models they used in RE2R. In that they could have made a TV show if their models weren't that modified with tools and special tech.

Get Justin Hartley from This is Us to play Leon. Haha

I believe they're tackling Monster Hunter at the moment.

 

[demigod]

Fuck Paul and Milla. Also fuck that stupid laser room.

 

[Arozay]

I need an episode dedicated to a water vial puzzle.

 

[Hobbesian]

I'm sure it will of the highest caliber in terms of quality entertainment.

 

[Elcid]

No thanks. I'm quite content with the games and the CGI movies. Literally zero interest in this moneygrab.

 

[KingHenrik30]

A series thats true to the games? I could do that.

Whatever this is going to be? Big pass.
