At this point, I think it's fair to say that the "Resident Evil" movies are more stable as a B-movie institution than the original franchise is as a video-game institution. The new trailer for the fifth(!) go-around doesn't show off any story points (or zombies, for that matter), other than a handful of shots that seem to be set during/around the earlier sequels - is this the "fill-the-plot-holes"/continuity-porn installment? It also looks like Umbrella now has a fleet of airships... where do they keep GETTING this stuff after the end of the world?
Eh, whatever. Each film after the original has been a romp on some level, and the amount of fun the husband/wife team of Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich seem to be having with this ongoing family project is always in evidence. In fact... am I the only one who thinks it's probably time for Alice to turn up in one of the games? At this point, she's as much an iconic part of the brand as Wesker is...
