1. It feels way to soon for a new Resident Evil franchise but I want them go more of the horror route and use characters and plot points from the games, James Wan definitely can pull it off

2. gotta have Leon S. Kennedy be the main character.

3. i prey it will be about leon kennedy and chris.

4. Love James Wan!  Excited about any project he is on.

5. PLEASE GET RID OF ALICE

6. Chris and Jill as the start off of the reboot and it make sense for chris being the main character of the whole resident evil franchise on live movies

7. We want the Mansion, with Jill and Chris!!! Lauren Cohan as Jill. Mica Levi does soundtrack.

8. I been waiting for a reboot since the end of the 2nd movie in the original franchise.

9. As long as it’s done the right way. A true Resident Evil movie.

10. There’s some hope if James Wan is involved.

11. A hollywood director getting the right source material to do it right is like asking isis to stop killing people neither will ever understand so it is fucked

12. Each angle from the resident evil games from 1 thru 3 gave out that atmosphere and feeling like what really happened and how. I hope they throw in that chilling sense of what resident evil was and supposed to be. Now days games don’t give you that nostalgic. You don’t feel that. Instead now it’s just all about what looks more real and has lots of content.

13. nooooooooooo please don’t fuck the reboot movie up with that shitty fuck number resident evil 7 number 7 wasn’t even a reboot number 1 and 0 was the scariest ones

14. Take and the franchise back to it’s horror roots and keep it there. Center it on the characters from the games – in particular Jill, Chris, Leon, Claire, Ada, and Wesker – and lose the fanservice. Part of the reason video game movies have been terrible thus far is because they’re trying to be slavishly loyal to the source material. Most of these games are already interactive movies, and no one wants to watch an interactive movie they can’t actually interact with (though I might be wrong there, what with the popularity of Let’s Play vids). Make the necessary changes to the story for it to work on the big screen while remaining faithful to the tone of the game. And these studios need to let go of counting their chickens before they’ve hatched. Six films?! You don’t even have one yet. Focus on the first movie and worry about franchising later.

15. Got to love all the complainers who watched all 6 movies. Clearly you didn’t hate the series that much if you didn’t stop after a couple.

16. YAAAAY Real Resident Evil movie coming 😆

17. I hope re reboot by james wan better than before

18. If the movie actually sticks with the what the games are all about, I’m on board. If they’re going to do another bullshit action adventure franchise like they did with Milla Jovovich, they shouldn’t even call it Resident Evil.

19. give me S.T.A.R.S. 🙂

20. I love it however, dudes still gotta reboot mortal kombat first.

21. Chris Redfield and Leon S Kennedy in the same franchise please? And make it SCARY!!

22. Thank god!!! Deliver us from shitty resident evil movies! Finally someone with more than a 12$ budget and some actual talent as a director gets a chance.

23. It was about time.

24. Hopefully they don’t base it off the recent hillbilly horror game. They need to go back and do it right or not at all.

25. They could do the reboot like Resident Evil Biohazard.

26. I’ll be honest. The only reason I ever watched Resident Evil was Milla. The movies were not good.

27. Kill it with fire, they’ll probably fuck it up. I’ll stick with the games

28. Just don’t give it to Paul W.S. Anderson

29. As long as it’s done properly and follows the real RE formula starting with the first RE film based on the game in the mansion. I don’t give a damn about how closely it follows it just make a RE film franchise that’s actually relatable to the source material.

30. James Cameron should have done it and make it like Aliens with the STARS like the Colonial Marines and the monsters like the aliens. That’s what I always felt a Resident Evil movie would be like Aliens.

31. there is already a good video-game movie, that’s the Silent Hill one. Just saying.

32. fUCK YES!!! NOW DO IT LIKE THE GAMES PLEASE !! not just some action cheesfest ….MAke it serious Dark evil badass gritty …Bring us back into the dark hallways of the mansion and the creepy eerieness of the woods with the ravens and sick hungry doverman dogs …and bring back those scary fukin zombie slike the first zombie encounter ever from the games!! YES!!

33. Wan knows atmosphere. This is the right step towards a Resident Evil reboot.

34. I’d have absolutely no hope if it wasn’t for Resident Evil 7. If the games over-came the ridiculous over the top BS, then the films have a glimmer of hope. Especially with Wan.

35. Right please 🙏🏻 mr James wan use the character from the games , make it horror thriller and make the zombies/monsters look realistic

36. meh.. would’ve been more excited if he was directing it.

37. I liked the first Resident Evil movie and I thought Silent Hill was pretty good

38. Resident Evil 7 was truly an incredible game! Hopefully it’s based on that game’s story.

39. Chris. Jill. Mansion. Zombies. Horror. Please! Someone mentioned Lauren Cohan as Jill…good casting!

40. YES! YES! AN ACTUAL HORROR DIRECTOR! NO MORE OF THIS UNDERWORLD CARTOON BULLSHIT!

41. Anyone who says they liked the Paul Anderson Resident evil movies, needs cancer

42. I would really like to see the franchise reeboot go back to the original video game sources and be way more of a horror movie excluding the cheesy Paul w s Anderson action scenes. you guys rock!

43. I hope that Megan Boone gets cast as Jill Valentine in the new Resident Evil movie!

44. With James Wan in it, i think the movie will gone to a good horror. Just remember movies he produced, The Conjuring, Insidious, Dead Silence.

45. It’s The Golden Age of Reboots
