Resident Evil: The Final Chapter's script leaked, apparently. (SPOILERS)

Well.

It's definitely a Resident Evil movie.

And people should know by now whatever cliffhanger happens is usually hand waved away or taken care of in the first twenty or so minutes of the next film to do other things.
 
I can't confirm the validity of the synopsis, but I'm pretty sure the script (and honestly 90% of scripts being adapted) is out there. I passed on reading it though.
 
Wait Old Alice? So Alice over the entire series has been a clone all along?

Replace nanomachines with clones.

They keep doing this with the beginning of every movie. Theres no point in any of the cliffhangers bar the first (which coincidentally was the strongest because it actually mattered)

RE1: Ends with Alice Walking out into Raccoon City (fucking badass ending at that)
RE2: Starts off right with Alice in RC. Ends with Alice being under Umbrellac Control.
RE3: World went to shit. Jill is dead...or not. Nobody gives a shit. Alice did some shit and is running from umbrella. Ends with Alice finding the clone army.
RE4: First 2 minutes the big bad destroys every single clone. They get 1 action scene. I forgot how this ends, with Jill coming back and them on a boat?
RE5: I have no idea how this starts. Ends with Wesker as president.
RE6: Guaranteed we don't get to see Wesker Obama rock the oval office with his zombie vice president Excella Biden. I would actually be interested to see how Wesker confronts zombie politics.

RE4 as terrible as it was, was at least a tolerable action flick. 5 was atrociously bad. And I'll maybe, probably watch this one. Maybe.
Totally.
 
"Yeah and her name is Alice and she's better than all the video game characters
and in fact they all die and she's the one who beats Wesker and saves the world and cures the t-virus
"


Legit sounds like some Fanfiction.net shit.
 
Sounds like another Paul Anderson masterpiece!

I really cant... the first 2 movies are some of my favorite action flicks but after the 3rd one the dumb story got dumber and dumber.

Ugh.

The first two are a guilty pleasure for me I watch them regularly.
 
I haven't watched the movies in a long time and generally don't care about them. But I am currently replaying RE2 and the first line alone was enough to make me irrupt in laughter then immediately upset.

I can only feel for those more invested than I.
 
I've actually enjoyed these movies since they're goofy and the plots make more sense than the recent RE games, but that script sounds like garbage. Like what the hell man.

Also, given that supposed ending I wonder how that will tie into that RE movie tie-in series that was supposed to happen.
 
Somewhat enjoyed 1, 2 and 4. The last movie, however, was probably one of the worst movies I've seen my entire life. No idea what they were thinking.
 
Everything from the link is mysteriously deleted.

Real script confirmed? Old Alice bouta steal the show. Can't wait for this tragedy to open at #1 in Box Office next year.
 
So what they're saying is that they could only get the actors for Wesker and Claire but couldn't even get the actors for Jill/Ada/Leon/Chris/Rain so they decide to kill them off-screen instead.

I get that the Resident Evil games have been catching up with the ridiculousness of the Resident Evil movies, but you'd think there would be a time traveling twist. Seems like Capcom would object to Jill/Chris/Leon/Ada getting killed off, especially off-screen.
 
I saw the first one like 10 years ago and I didn't even know they put the game characters in the movies

-Li Bingbing as Ada Wong was semi-confirmed by Milla herself in the first stages of the film.

-Wentworth Miller flatout DROPPED out of the Chris Redfield role. Everyone thought they were going to write Chris out of the story rather than recast him.

-Suddenly. Milla stopped mentioning Li Bingbing and would not answer any questions about Chris, Ada, Jill and Leon.

-Sienna Guillory went silent on reprising her role as Jill.

-Johann Urb confirmed via Twitter he isn't reprising Leon for the final chapter.

-Filiming already begun and the full cast was officially revealed by Sony and Leon, Ada, Chris and Jill are nowhere to be found.


All of this adds up and soldifies this even more. Sadly.

That's fucked up.
 
If I were the director right now I would can the whole thing and start over.

this leak is bad

He's made 5 films, 1 alright, 4 laughably bad films... if he hasn't realized he's terrible at this, I don't think this is going to make a difference.

EDIT, he's only directed the first, the last two, and this one. So they got dumber on his watch.
 
That reads like a TV show that didn't know it was getting cancelled until the last minute. Just nuke as much of the cast as fast as possible, everyone dropping like flies to clear way for the "main" story.

Not getting the original cast members seems cheap. Not like most of the actors are household names. The only one they bother to get back is frigging Ali Larter?

lolz what a mess.

Sounds like last minute budget cuts.

Courtesy of Tom Rothman I'm assuming.
 
I've seen all of these movies but I don't remember anything about them besides that one guy being sliced into pieces by those lasers in the first movie.
Am I missing out?

Yikes. Sounds like Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich's pregnancy totally screwed up scheduling AND story. The only upside is Claire since I think Ali Larter was pregnant at the original production time and her role seems to have expanded.

Their baby basically killed off almost the entire franchise's cast.

That actually is probably exactly what happened.

Me and other people that were following the film p's development since the announcement (2012) have reason to believe the script has been reqritten and changed drastically.

Wikipedia has the details of development so I'll just copy and paste, but check this out:
In September 2012, a sixth film in the "Resident Evil" series was confirmed by the head of Sony Pictures distribution, Rory Bruer, with Milla Jovovich attached to reprise the role of Alice.[1]
In December 2012, director Paul W. S. Anderson confirmed that he would be directing "Resident Evil 6,". He stated that it would be the last film in the series and some characters from the first two films would return.[3]
In June 2013, Jovovich tweeted that the sixth film, which had been scheduled for a September 12, 2014 release, would not be released before 2015.[4] The film was scheduled to start shooting in late 2013. [5]

Shooting literally JUST begun. That's a 2 year delay. Something happened.

In April 2014, while speaking at the Beijing International Film Festival, Anderson revealed that he would soon be writing the screenplay for the sixth film in the series. He also confirmed that the film would be in 3D and that actress Li Bingbing would be returning to play Ada Wong.[7]

Li Bingbing was absolutely confirmed to return and co-star (exactly like the fifth film, Retribution). What happened? A change in script happened.

In June 2014, Anderson announced the film's working title to be "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" and confirmed that it was intended to be the final film in the series. He also revealed that half the script had been completed, but, as yet, there were no shooting or release schedules.[8] Filming was set to begin in South Africa in August 2014 but was delayed for a year because Jovovich was pregnant.[9][10]

Okay, one year for Milla's pregnancy. What about the other year delay? And then the cast was unveiled and woop, none of the major video game characters are returning bar Claire and Wesker.

Stupid as shit. It feels like we have another Extinction, which was by far the worst of the bunch
 
I will never understand how this man made his masterpiece so early in his career.
Man I'm going to watch Event Horizon again tonight.
