As one of the most consistently acclaimed and commercially successful filmmakers of the modern era, Christopher Nolan occupies the same sort of rarefied air that only a select few directors ever reach. He’s up there with the Steven Spielbergs and Martin Scorseses of the industry, who can get any project green lit based almost entirely on the strength of their name alone, while still managing to retain almost complete creative control.
Nolan’s last six movies dating back to The Dark Knight have combined to earn close to $4.5 billion at the box office, win ten Academy Awards from 31 nominations and receive widespread praise from critics, making him one of cinema’s premiere auteurs. However, after the widely-publicized discontent at how Tenet was handled last summer, which was compounded by his criticism of the HBO Max hybrid strategy, there’s been speculation that Nolan had ended his longtime association with the studio, and could be looking for a new home.
Rumors have since snowballed over the last couple of days, with talk now making the rounds that he’s eying the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Silver Surfer. How did we get to this point so quickly? Well, a report claimed earlier this week that Nolan was in talks to helm an MCU movie, which hasn’t been corroborated as of yet, with tipster Mikey Sutton latching on to the story and gauging that Silver Surfer would be best suited to cater to his particular interests.
That’s hardly a confirmation that talks are even happening, never mind that Silver Surfer is the title to bring Nolan over to Marvel Studios when it’s not even been announced for active development, but it’s still a fascinating prospect to mull over until we get some facts.
Constantin’s hugely anticipated reboot of the Resident Evil film franchise is quickly taking shape, and we couldn’t be more excited about it.
The video game adaptation, which has been in the works for a while now, will hew much closer to the source material than Paul W.S. Anderson’s efforts did and will finally touch down in theaters on Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately, we’re still a ways out from September, but it at least looks as if the lid is about to be peeled back on the project.
A trailer continues to elude us, and we still haven’t even seen an official photo, but the first poster dropped the other week and now, we have the title for the movie, with IGN revealing that it’ll be called Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.
Furthermore, the outlet also notes that the film will adapt the first two games in Capcom’s hit series, which we had already assumed given the list of characters who’ll appear, with folks like Chris and Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Leon S. Kennedy all confirmed to be showing up. Not only that, but both the mansion from Resident Evil and the city itself as well as the police station from the first sequel will be seen, too.
Indeed, all signs point to a pretty faithful adaptation of the source material and while the jury is still out on whether or not it’ll be able to stand apart from the countless terrible video game movies that have graced our screens in recent years, the signs are definitely promising right now.
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City hits theaters on September 3rd, 2021, and as soon as we get that first trailer, we’ll have it for you right here, so stay tuned.
