If there wasn't the word "Evil" in it, this title would sound like the name of an Animal Crossing game or something lol
I know the plots of both seem slim but it still sounds like alot
Which climax do you even use? The Tyrant in the lab or the subway escape?

Yes I would like to be able to say I saw Nemesis in a movie and he doesn't lose a fist fight and cry at the end.
They do not. But I wouldn't be surprised if they adapt this so that they do.
Longer than that. But not too much longer. (RE 2 is two months after the first game.)
The tyrant will be a threat first scene earlier in the movie at spencer mansion, then it will reappear as mr. X in RPD.
I can see a situation where just the first 15 minutes is resident evil 1 then the rest of the movie is just re2

Could see that, although the Wesker twist might get lost in the shuffle
I don't think they would recreate the whole mansion for a prologue

That doesn't sound that bad. Could work really well if they are efficient with their direction.
First game isn't that long if you take out the puzzle solving. As long as the most iconic stuff is there it should be fine with a fast pacing.
If it is good I hope the sequel is RE3 and Outbreak mixed in.

The set design will be out of this world but no way doing two games in one movie will be good.
Look give me something decent. I don't even need good. Just give me a half decent interpretation. My 100% fear is that they shoved a BUNCH of recognizable names from the games into one film as fan service and a lot will be quickly thrown away. My hopes aren't high
So we'll be following STARS at the mansion and Leon and Claire in the city; guess they doing the RC outbreak simultaneously instead of two months later.
"The movie will feature more than just story references."
Interesting. This suggests that while the movie will indeed have MORE than story references, it is not meant to be a 100% faithful adaptation either.
1 and 2 in one movie is a lot of ground to cover. Granted you could probably speed through the plot of RE1 in like 30 minutes if you wanted but it's still a lot. 2 and 3 are far more closely related and even doing them together would require more than 2 hours. I imagine they'll make some big changes like Jill, Chris, and Wesker showing up in the RE2 segment.
I don't like the title either, but if it's better than the Anderson films then I'll be somewhat satisfied. Also I checked the IMDB for this and apparently Donal Logue is playing Chief Irons which is a shame because he would make a perfect Barry Burton imo.

The early timeline of RE is kinda goofy. The first six games take place over a five-month period.
RE0: July 23rd, 1998
RE1 (and REmake): July 24th, 1998
RE3: September 28th - dawn October 1st, 1998
RE2: September 29th, 1998
RECV: December 1998
I imagine either they change it so that RE1 and 2 are concurrent, or RE1 is flashbacks.
Laughed out loud that it would include "fixed camera angles" as an homage to the game. What a fun Easter egg that a movie has camera angles.
Shooting scenes with fixed camera angles in the style of the old REs would actually be pretty different from typical movie camera angles, especially it's extend sequences. It's not just a stationary camera, it's the placement of the camera and what happens in the shot.
