• movie is cannon

• zach said he tonally wanted to make something that feels like RE2, and that this could be happening at the same time that leon and clare at the police station

• takes place as the t virus first infects people in racoon city

• gauntlet of stressful set pieces as the protagonist goes from the outskirts into racoon city
  

We Will Be There.

Nigga gon end up in Raccoon city right as that mf gets nuked

the shot at the end with all the zombies falling onto the cars and the blood is splattering intensely

zach cregger about to go 3/3

Zombies are jumping off buildings and splattering their guts on the pavement

I’d say it’s a safe bet it’s rated R

Bet, haven’t seen the trailer yet, I’m at work, thanks for the spoiler

Like that the outfit gets better over the course of the movie, that's cool

Doesn't look how I expected but I'm sure it'll be good. Not much to go off of but I could see some being mad that it doesn't look immediately super faithful but he could do whatever he wants, he hasn't missed yet

Hard

Love that this takes place during the winter

This looks fantastic

Wait, now that you point that out

The Raccoon City incident lasts from September 23, 1998 to October 3, 1998 in canon

So why the f*** is there snow??

I’m not letting that take away from my excitement for the movie but is bothering me on a canon level now

aight must see in theaters

Uh oh

Maybe northern racoon city can get a lot of snow during the fall.

Didn't he say that this isn't really trying to be canon at all and it's just "in the world of it"? I don't think this is set in the 90s, he has a cellphone

Giving a really promising director who is a huge fan of the IP a 100 million dollars to basically design his own entry to the series is fire. And I think way more exciting then if Zach was just making an RE2 movie

O s*** lmaooo. I feel like this movie won’t end up being considered canon by the RE fanbase

Out

Horror has been in such a great place these last few years

Love the amount of people saying “this doesn’t look like Resident Evil.”

Yeah, because it looks a REAL MOVIE.

Hope it has some campy writing.

The f*** even is RE canon? S*** is the most retconned universe I can think of.

Nah it looks rad and very Resident Evil. Just more of an Ethan RE vibe.

People doubted RE 7 as well before it released

The RE fanbase is allergic to anything new
