Alice has the AF2011-A1 in the trailer hopefully they'll carry it over into RE7.

Brushing off the cobwebs... for good and bad...

Bad first...

Final Anderson film in production, there's a plot setup in the press release. Just going to chuck it in a spoiler tag so no one has to scroll through it. Sounds about as bad as normal to me, if not like a few of the films repeated into one.

Spoiler:

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18, 2015 -- Today Sony Pictures' Screen Gems announced that the sixth installment of the Sci-Fi, action horror film series, "Resident Evil," has commenced principal photography in South Africa.

Titled "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter," this will be the final installment in the astoundingly successful film franchise adaptation of Capcom's hugely popular video game series, having grossed over $1 billion worldwide to date.

Constantin Film will produce Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. Director, Paul W.S. Anderson, who wrote the screenplay, will shoot the film on location in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

Milla Jovovich will reprise her starring role as Alice. Other headline cast includes Ali Larter ("Heroes," Resident Evil: Afterlife) as Claire Redfield, Iain Glen ("Game of Thrones," Resident Evil: Extinction) in the role of Dr. Alexander Isaacs, Shawn Roberts (Edge of Darkness, Resident Evil: Afterlife) as Albert Wesker, Australian actress Ruby Rose ("Orange is the New Black"), who has a huge social media presence, as Abigail, Eoin Macken ("The Night Shift") as Doc, Cuban American actor William Levy, one of People en Español's reigning 50 Most Beautiful, as Christian, Fraser James ("Law & Order: UK") as Michael, and Japanese model and TV personality, Rola, as Cobalt.

Picking up immediately after the events in Resident Evil: Retribution, humanity is on its last legs after Alice is betrayed by Wesker in Washington D.C. As the only survivor of what was meant to be humanity's final stand against the undead hordes, Alice must return to where the nightmare began – Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is gathering its forces for a final strike against the only remaining survivors of the apocalypse.

In a race against time Alice will join forces with old friends, and an unlikely ally, in an action packed battle with undead hordes and new mutant monsters. Between losing her superhuman abilities and Umbrella's impending attack, this will be Alice's most difficult adventure as she fights to save humanity, which is on the brink of oblivion. "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" is produced by Jeremy Bolt, Paul W.S. Anderson, Robert Kulzer and Samuel Hadida. Martin Moszkowicz (Constantin Film) is the executive producer together with Victor Hadida (Metropolitan Films). Production services in South Africa are rendered by producer Genevieve Hofmeyr (Moonlighting Filmmakers). The creative production team includes Director of Photography, Glen MacPherson; Production Designer, Edward Thomas; Costume Designer, Reza Levy; Visual Effects Supervisor, Dennis Berardi and Editor, Doobie White.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter will be distributed in the U.S. by Screen Gems in January 2017, and internationally by Sony Pictures Releasing International, excluding Germany (Constantin Film) and France (Metropolitan).

Also Milla's stunt double was almost killed on set in the first days of shooting and suffered head injuries and is in a coma due to a camera crane arm not moving out of her path.

Crossing my fingers for a definitive RE2 box set. Early builds, artwork, interviews, documentary...make it happen, Capcom.

[Canas Renvall]

Phew, been a while since this was used... *dusts it off*

Anyway, Capcom is definitely planning to make more HD Remasters following the success of REmake HD.

Bad news alert: Constantin Films is planning on turning their Resident Evil license into a TV series after Anderson finishes his film franchise. No comment was made if it'll be a different take or a continuation, but given they make money from Anderson's films I expect the latter.

I won't buy an XB1 for a modern RE title, period. This makes no sense. Why they'd make it exclusive in the first place is beyond me. (Assuming this is true.)

Only rumours at the minute.
