Resident evil the film franchise has been one of the most successful video game to screen adaptions in history grossing some $1.233 billion worldwide and yet one of the most recognizable faces is not in the games. There are wide spread reports that shinji mikami the producer of several resident evil games did not like what was done with the franchise in the films or how his characters were treated. plus adding a character created by someone else adds "a whole nother level" of legal hassles with ownership and likenesses.
The new game Days Gone by SIE Bend Studiolooks fantastic from the game play video i have seen. You play as a guy, Deacon st John living in the world over run by zombies
Lara croft is back on the big screen with a whole new adventure and new actress: Oscar winner,Alicia Vikander. This time we see a less polished version than the Angelina Jolie movies, we see a lara just starting out
This version of Lara is more human with flaws and failings. She can take care of herself but is not the fake superwoman from the video games of past. Vikander plays her with confidence, intelligence and bravery befitting the video game legend. The "prize" or "big bad" in the film is handled with logic and fits perfectly in today's age of giving a kind of realism to the fantastic. The twist is not seen coming but when it is revealed you feel it makes sense, although i did wish for a bit more of the fantastic...maybe in the sequel
