I love the image of George Romero struggling to play RE1 and getting confused before saying "fuck it! You play this" to his secretary and throwing them the controller.

I can’t wait for the official documentary about this!!!

[@freddyfasthands8131]

Me either! It looks great!

[@Gridseeker]

This along Jodorowsky´s Dune, Neil Blomkapmf´s Alien 5 and Colin Trevorrow´s SW episode 9 are my favorite unmade movies.

[@thommybepunkt7111]

Thx y for this great Documentary.

[@erickvonengelwalten8568]

i think the full Romero's Version it will be something like Dawn of the Dead with Alone in the Dark - New nightmare, for sure it would have some "supernatural" tasty vibes, not entirely scientifically. I read some of the scripts and i have a lot of fun. Its not Resident Evil like Anderson's version. But its damn good

[@thedudeghost6603]

Not like Andersons? So actually good?

[@Demigod_3scrub]

Event Horizon is highly underrated, especially the uncut x rated version..
Resident Evil , while the story is different, the format, flow , and script was awesome. Everything in that story has set ups and pay offs..

[@lashawn09able]

Wait what there is s uncut X rated version of Event Horizon????

[@retrographicsarcade]

Great vid!

[@darlingimscared]

hot take it would have been dog shit, but we would love it with time for what it was

[@memesouls8653]

Nah I definitely think it would have been something note worthy seeing how much of a fan he was of the game and its story. This was the main issue with many of the early 90s/2000s video game-movie adaptations as their directors and producers weren’t interested at all in what made fans love the game and instead focused on what would make the film appeal to mass audiences. Seeing how Romero refused to give into producer demands I think if he got his way we would have been surely satisfied with the film. It would’ve not only been a great RE film but also just a great film in general.

Yeah it sucks Brad Renfro passed away It sucks. I saw a couple of his movies growing up. It’s unfortunate that he passed away from drugs and substance abuse.

[@davidcurry332]

I thought the George Romero resident evil commercial they film Japan with I think he passed away now I can’t remember his name mountain up recognize the girl in it. That was pretty cool. I like the old Capcom video game commercials even some of the Mortal Kombat ones in the kid has a kid they were cool the Mortal Kombat ones are kind of creepy like this resident evil commercial was they always back in the day ask kids while nates care of a back in the day with kids are playing video games sometimes the commercials fit the vibe of the commercial and the game itself not do that anymore.

[@onkelhiphop]

I absolutely love the resedent evil movies even though they are not true to the games and I do love the games I went through resident evil one at least 10 times

[@SnowMan6sand7s]

Anderson said he was a fan of tha series but failed to do it any justice ☹️

I def would have wanted a Romero RE film, but I CANT say I didn't enjoyed the first RE movie. You say the vibe wasn't there? I call BS it was there, critics where just too busy complaining for complaints sake. The second film def had a lot of elements from the games and people still complained. Now I must agree after the second film the story line for sure goes off its rockers...that I fully agree. I did on the other hand enjoy the final sixth film, it had and interesting plot and I like how they finally tied the story together to help clean up the mess. In the end multiple directors across live and animation films tried to make people happy but making people happy especially in this day of age it almost impossible. Someone is always going to have some beef or some issue with the films because they span generations. When you have generational gaps moods and opinions vary so there will always be disagreement, the games are a very good example of this. The original RE players love RE games for what they actually where with there puzzles and actual survival horror. While the new kids think RE 6 was the pinnacle of RE games...LMFAO. Then you have the first person games that some think revived the RE series, then you have the remakes which are what I believe really brought the series back. So its all speculative in the end...

I wasn't really a big fan of it hate it when directors take a book or a game and try to put their own spin on it to try and make a splash. Resident Evil Zero, One, Two, and 3, could easily be adapted into movies or a show all they gotta do is follow the Resident Evil books written by S.D. Perry. Even the Resident Evil book that came out with Resident Evil 1 on the Sega would of made for an amazing movie.

[@stephen1193]

Did you copy megastrange?

[@eeaahh]

no

[@Spartacus-n3m]

The resident evil movie with milla was terrible I prefer George Romero adaptation better

[@darkjack9021]

Good zombie movie, bad adaptation.
