Netflix has their latest video game adaptation in the works, announcing this morning that a live action Resident Evil series is on the horizon via their NX on Netflix social media channels. The premier season will consist of eight one hour episodes, and will be focused on the Wesker children as they make the move to New Raccoon City. At the head of the series is Andrew Dabb of Supernatural fame, while The Walking Dead's Bronwen Hughes will be directing the first two episodes. No release date or casting list has been confirmed at this time.

Dont fuck it up. It writes itself. Dont fuck it up!

I'm hoping or a Logan/New Mutants-like vibe, with the children being heavily experimented on and isolated due to the shady nature of everything, and then as they learn about the experiments (and powers gained from the viruses reacting), they start to retaliate.

At least that's what I'm hoping for.
All they have to do is make it a serious/dark tone, and keep it horror/thriller oriented.

Don't make this into a fucking comedy-action shit, we have enough of that already.

I mean, considering Wesker went full Neo after RE1, I wouldn't count on the "dark/serious" tone.

I do hope this is different though.
We never saw Wesker before RE 0/1 with full powers, only from Code Veronica and onwards he was already fully compatible with the viruses injected, and after dying on purpose to activate said virus.

This could still be a serious thing, with the children being forced and submitted to different kinds of experiments, and I assume not all of them would be compatible with the viruses or treatments being given to them.
If they do implement powers of sorts, then I do hope they at least keep it somewhat minimal, and not to the absurd Neo Wesker or Alice kind of levels.

who is writing the script ? the director is mehh

 

[RyRyIV]

who is writing the script ? the director is mehh

As seen on the script, Andrew Dabb wrote at least Episode 1. The way Netflix has described Dabb as "helming the series" though makes me think he'll be the writer for most of the 8 episodes

I'm holding out hope for a happy medium, leaning towards survival horror. I'm also hoping this tweet is just over simplifying it, and the "Wesker kids" means Project W, which would mean we'd have to have SOME of the RE5 and 6 treatment. But not overdone.

Well the problem with 5 & 6 is that that were basically action movies and had nothing in relation to the older games other than the characters and story

 

[sloppycrap]

I’m keeping the fingers crossed this will be good

Muppet Babies was pretty good. Resident Evil Babies should be pretty good too.

 

[Dubbicakes]

Keeping expectations low, Netflix casting in most cases is pretty cringey.
They paint by numbers instead of talent. ;p

 

[DarkCoffe64]

Hoping it will be campy and cheesy af much like them ps1 games, lmao
It'd be amazing to have that atrocious voice acting back

 

[Spider_Man]

Bet theyll ruin it, well the tag line welcome to new racoon city.

 

[Deleted User]

Alright gang, it's time to split up and search for T virus samples

 

[StrayGuitarist]

Huh. Maybe I'll actually enjoy a Resident Evil property.

 

[JuanMena]

I can see the zombies looking like White Walkers
I hope Sienna Guillory return as Alice... or at the very least Oded as Carlos.

Fuck Mila Jovovich. Give me my Sienna (｡♡‿♡｡)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I HOPE SOMETHING ELSE TOO:
That the story sticks to the actual Game's Story, with the real characters, and not dumb adaptations where Carlos is an Asian looking guy eating sandwiches at Jill's Cafe or dumb shit like that.

 

[duwen]

Yeah... coz the Wesker kids were always my favourite thing about the RE games /s
Fuck off Netflix

 

[Pacheko17]

inb4 Jill is a black trans woman and Leon is gay.

 

[wiiando]

The partial leaked pilot of the other one looked pretty good to me

 

[m_babble]

I'm on board.

 

[chrisrlink]

I'm sure they can't trainwreck it more than some of the movies namely the last one...can they?
