Speaker 1: So let's see what we got next here, all right,
So we got some alien and resent evil news. Resident
Evil Taylor's getting a new film being directed by uh,
what are your favorite?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Do you remember his name?
Speaker 3: Though, no, I do not.
Speaker 4: I me and Mattie were talking about him earlier.
Speaker 3: Actually, uh, Maddie.
Speaker 4: Maddy was pitching me to take Madison on date night
to see Companion. I said it was a comedy thriller,
kind of just like.
Speaker 2: A twenty minute assault. So you need the guy.
Speaker 1: He love a great bout Man's Day movie. My lady
loved it. Yeah, I'm excited to see Companion. At some
point I won't get to the theaters to see it,
but yeah, I do want to see that. Sylvie Thatcher
is very good and Jack quaidoss he's good too. But yeah,
Zach Gregor, Zach Gregor. Yeah, he's doing a did Barbarian
Weapons is I think coming out this year and supposedly
has lots of buzz going around right now. That's his
next movie. So all they've said is this is supposed
to go back to the vibes and feelings of the
original games, trying to keep them with that horror.
Speaker 2: Now. I didn't see the Raccoon City one. What was
that like, Like, was that trying to be more horror?
What was that?
Speaker 3: Because they never definitely trying to be more horror?
Speaker 4: And I found, well, uh, now I haven't played I've
played some of the Resionable games, but I really don't
have much of a comparison there. I think that's why
I can really enjoy the Miliavovich ones because I don't
have that that comparison, that baseline of just that love
for the original games.
Speaker 3: When I see this and watched Raccoon City, I.
Speaker 4: Thought, Okay, this one is definitely like doing shot for
shot moments in the game, but in the movie like
they were just making like live action ing at out
the Wiazoo. They wanted to really attribute this and make
this like fans are gonna love this. It was a
bit over the top and way too on the nose, though,
even for someone like me that knew like I haven't
played the games, but I know that, Okay, this is
definitely a moment for the game. That being said, it's
a lot more horror based and it was very very
creepy and.
Speaker 3: Eerie at times. I like the vibe.
Speaker 4: It felt remote, isolated, hopeless, and I really really appreciate
that what they did with that, but the acting was
terrible and just the kind of the story. It just
was not a home home run for me by any means.
So I'm wondering what they're gonna do this time around
to you know, keep it true to the games and
just make it different from that Welcome to Raccoon City one,
because I feel like, Okay, Raccoon City, they really tried
that already, So.
Speaker 3: What's different this time around?
Speaker 4: More scarier, more hopeless, Like they just they need to
instill something in the viewer to make it different than
what Welcome to Raccoon City did.
Speaker 1: But I was gonna say so like it to me,
it sounds like it was being more horror based, but
it wasn't.
Speaker 3: Executed like you never correct.
Speaker 2: So that's that's why I think the difference is right, Like,
it sounds bad.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to dog and who directed it could
have been a bunch of stuff could not work. But
maybe that's the idea is we want to take it
back to Horborite, actually have it the more on the
scare row, because it is it is tough because Resident
Evil now so many different versions, right because I've played
one to four, and I don't think I ever played
six to I never played five or six. I don't
think if I did, it was like at a friend's house. Alsously,
I played seven. Bio has really but you look at
it's like starts as like a creepy mansion game, and
then you get from like you know, like moving around
killing zombies, and then it gets like hoardes right of
just like big zombies. Monster's almost like years of war,
and then bio hazard happens and that's like a creepy
family and then eight happens. That's like a vampire sort
of esque sort of deal. So it's tough, but I
am curious what they do here? What do you get
the shitty and grin for?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: So the director, What if I told you he also
directed Strangers Pray at Night for.
Speaker 2: The Raccoon City.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be completely track to me because like
that's exactly what Strangers.
Speaker 2: Pret Night is.
Speaker 1: It's like a less it's like a not scary movie
with the strangers.
Speaker 2: So yeah, like again, no, is that the only two
credit he has?
Speaker 4: Twenty seven meters down and the second one as well.
Speaker 1: I haven't watched those, but I've heard people say those
are good, so that must be how he's getting gigs.
Speaker 2: Is those at least that first one. I think people
were surprised how good it was.
Speaker 1: So let's see here. So it's it's interesting where And
even the movies and the online stuff that makes big right,
like Raccoon City, like you said, try to be more
horror based, sounds like it didn't work out. The Resident
Evil movies with Mila got very much in the bigger
grand world, big zombies, big like monsters, right, And then
you had the TV show which was very like.
Speaker 2: I just thought about that. I just thought about fucking
tim a full and eighty. Well.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we still have our picture around
here or somewhere, but like I that was more what's
the best way you could describe it?
Speaker 2: As far as.
Speaker 1: I'm trying, I can't think of the word with COVID,
like how you describe that type of movie. And you know,
there's that movie like Contagion, Like it's like it was
that type of series where it wasn't about the you
got to see a few monsters, but it was way
more about the threat of the disease and the virus
and things like that it was a very much more
of a health scare type of movie.
Speaker 4: Because it was like it was too you had like
a pre and a post story at the same time.
And then finally it got to the very end where
it was like in the zombie world for like thirty
minutes or something like that, like it was canceled and
then it was canceled.
Speaker 3: You got a dance scene and that's it.
Speaker 2: You gotta did a full one eighties.
Speaker 1: So I do think that there's not been I'm not
gonna say this is its last shot because Taylor showed
me and like he was right.
Speaker 2: I was dogging on it.
Speaker 1: But like those Milan movies did make money and they
usually had good budgets.
Speaker 3: So that's what I see. That's where they yes stride.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I just think there this is like kind
of the last shot to make it like something special,
you know, like something like really noteworthy, like a bigger
franchise to get on another another level. And I think
this is a perfect franchise for Zach Gregor because it
is bigger, there's some more action, but it's still in
his wheelhouse. And to me, it's just one of those
like the same way I don't know if you guys
ever talked about was good.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 1: They announced that Lee Cronin, the guy that did the
Evil Dead Rise movie, he's making a Mummy remake. You
saw that, right, yes, yeah, yeah, And that's where it's like, man,
that's a perfect fit right there. Like the guy that
Able to Rise doing a Mummy movie. Awesome, same thing
as this, Like Zach Craiger doing Resident Evil. It's like, awesome.
I've just only seen Barbarian. I haven't even seen his
other weapons move or if there's anything else he's directing.
So it's like, this is like a match made in heaven.
Speaker 2: So I just hope it works out. So a match
may not in heaven, is I don't This is what
I don't even know. If you saw. I did put
in the notes, but I don't even saw if you would,
it broke. But so danie R. Piquet he had put
out this scoop and I'll read it.
Speaker 1: Verbatim here that let's see here a new alien project
is rumored to be a rumor to be in the work,
considering a sigourney. We were Ripley returning using d AH technology.
Now he said there's no connection to Fetti. Ourer's rom
was so this is what was funny. So he puts
out this rumor and then Fetti puts out like oh
that's all like that's it's a fun read up, but
nothing's true about it. So I know a lot of
people might go like, oh, why are you covering this
because like you know, he shot this down. For me,
it was like the reports that had nothing to do
with Fedi. And that's where it's like Ftny might say like, yeah,
like I know what's going on, that's not happening, But
I just was curious because there's this and RpK is
not right about everything right, but he's had a good
couple of years. Like I said, I moved him up
a tiers since we're talking about like what.
Speaker 2: If he's right?
Speaker 1: And remember I think it was right before I left
the newscast, was in that month where there was that
rumor that came It wasn't a rumor, it was an
article that confirmed it that Ridley Scott was like producing
something with alien and it wasn't attached to Wraw like
Fetti's stuff, And I just wonder, so like this so
this is just be making it up on the spot. Like,
would you be hyped if, let's say, in a couple
of weeks from now, Disney confirms, Uh, real, the Scott's
either producing or directing a new alien movie and they're
using a dh S and Gorney Weaver to star in
it or be in it.
Speaker 2: Like, how would that like? Where would you be right
now with that type of announcement. Oh.
Speaker 4: I don't have much of a problem with the d
aging thing, I think as other people do, uh, because
I think you're still getting the actor, actresses, acting talents
still behind that character.
Speaker 3: So there's that. The d aging is just.
Speaker 1: Luke Mando too though if it looks like shit though
it's tough to look.
Speaker 4: Fast, yes, but then you hire someone who can do
the scene better on YouTube, and then you give a
gig and then you get Luke Bobafette scene where it's like, man,
Luke's looking pretty good here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I think it's it's Disney paved the way they
really did by doing you know, mof Tarkin and then
Luke and just you know, getting in there with it.
And they tried with Harrison Ford and I think in
dal Destiny like it worked because it was a darker scene.
If that was a broad daylight scene, it would have
been questionable.
Speaker 2: Have you ever rewatched that movie?
Speaker 3: No, I haven't.
Speaker 2: I watched it while I.
Speaker 1: Was off because after I played the game, which I'll
talk about in sidequest, I was just in the Indian
mood and I kind of forgot that Disney Plus had
none of the other Indian Jones movies because they don't
own those movies.
Speaker 2: They just own the character.
Speaker 1: It's Paramount that has the actual movies because they distributed them,
so they don't have those. So one I've decided, Okay,
I'm gonna actually buy the Nian Jones on four K
here soon. But that scene looks a lot worse at
home than it does in the theaters, and a couple
of other visuals too, so I feel like on the
big screen it played really well. At home, it was
more like, oh this is a bit more nos well,
of course, because my tea, like I got a good TV.
But it's not like the way like a film projector
would be big screen stuff. But I will say that, like,
I think it still looked good enough and yeah, shadowy,
but definitely on a rewatch is like eh, and it
wasn't de aging because the actor was dead, but Remember
that was a huge critique for people on Rondulus, was
that actor they had ORGI right, so it's not like
Alien is uh hasn't straight away from doing some controversial
CGI looking through.
Speaker 4: But then we know that they fixed that for the
DVD release, right, or at least they tried to fix.
Speaker 2: I'm with s Bobs.
Speaker 1: It looks worse, like he said in the discord, and
I saw this by something like, yeah, does I guess
it depends. I haven't watched Rondolas since I've been wanting to.
I haven't had time, like I keep forgetting, but I
want to rewatch Roumless at least before Golden Geek. So
but even then, like so the de aging, But would
you still just be excited by like another Ripley story.
Speaker 3: I would be.
Speaker 4: I've I got really excited at the idea that hey,
we're gonna get an Alien five. That's gonna be you know,
Neil Blancamp, it's going to be the true Alien successor
here with with Hicks and with Ripley and continuing that story.
And then that was asked, So I'm curious to see
where this story fits in if it's something in between
one of the films whatnot. I don't know, but I'm
totally okay with them doing something like that, where hey,
Aliens three in Resurrection.
Speaker 3: Are just gonna be you know, pushed to the side.
Speaker 4: That's one one narrative, or you can just chime into
this other narrative that we got here because of the
Alien movies. I feel like, while they're trying to keep
a cohesive kind of storyline going forwards, I feel like
they are still you know, here or there, just kind
of like all different nitpicks from the overall story, like
anthology stories. And I feel like when you go and
look and invest your time into the Alien franchise and
you go into the Alien books and everything like that,
the comic books, they're all anthology stories. I don't think
there's any true cohesive plot aside from just stepping off
of that original Alien movie with Sigourney Weavers. So I'd
be curious to know what story they pick, what they're doing,
and how or like they'd have to have for a
good reason and a good story to make up for
the fact.
Speaker 3: As to why you're bringing Ripley into.
Speaker 1: It, Telton says, please know, maybe if it's just for
a few scenes. Yeah, I guess for me, it's tough
because the only way I'd really want and go other
than yeah, let's say they did Ronless or something, right
because in there that theory where you see like Ripley
ship like like shootout or something like that.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, because it was docked in the in the station. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm fine if in some movie at some point
they want to do a scene or two like.
Speaker 2: They did of Ian Holme and Romulus.
Speaker 1: I didn't hate that, but I completely understand why there's
a group of people that do hate that. Right, which
we have a question from Dalt Knock, like with Ai
and everything like, it kind of goes in that uncanny
valley of like what's your line? Right? But for me
it was fine. I'd be fine that if it's a
whole movie. I think it could be. It can't be
distracting because this is somebody that comes from love. Martin
Scars says, I actually love The Irish Man, but there's
times where when Robert down Robert Downey, fuck he's on
that movie Robert Banaro, when he's a sixty seven year
old man playing a thirty old it does not compute
because he's not moving like a thirty old, he's moving
like a sixty year old. And it's that's where it's
like it messes you up. So I've seen it done
before exactly like that, where okay, actor, it's a senior,
it's going to be playing their young selves, let's see.
And I think that if it's a success, you're in
the danger of just companies doing that all the time.
I think as as we finally get that payoff to
the original concept of the post credits scene, oh what
was that, to the original concept of the so are
you talking? Because the post credit armor was like.
Speaker 4: It was like there were multiple There was a post
credits scene where the Predator armor come.
Speaker 1: Yeah, brigets it and he's like, yeah, let's fucking do this.
He's all bad as Yeah.
Speaker 4: So there was talks that I think Arnold Swarzenegger was
going to come out of there. There were talks that
Sigourney Weaver was going to come out of there.
Speaker 3: I think there were even talks that new T was
going to come out of there.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So again that's the thing where I actually do think
because he did Terminator, we've not done Arnold back on
Predator yet. I think Arnold doesn't need to come back.
And don't get it wrong, I think there is something
very fun if you're doing like Arnold Schwartzenegers and Gorney
Weaver and a preder alien thing there, there could be
some potential there. But for me, I am with Tay
where the only story I'm kind of was wanting was
the Neil Bloom camp we're gonna ignore Alien three. Excuse
we're gonna ignore Alien three and just go on from there.
To me, if they were to say, hey, we're gonna
do that story of you can't do it right because
it was right after, but still like I would be
fine if they said, hey, we're gonna jump some years later,
and like even if like Newt's grown up now and
you have God, who's the guy there?
Speaker 2: Hicks Hicks, Yeah, Michael.
Speaker 1: Being like you have like it's them older and for
some reason they get pulled back into the alien xenomorph maddness.
Speaker 2: I'm fine with Essen, Gorney.
Speaker 1: Weaver, Aliens three, you know, Reducks, new Con Newty. Here
we go a story of let's say it's like if
it is Alien three, Reducks, that's her ald As and everything.
It does feel like a little cheap and I feel
like there is, there is lots of room for error,
but even then, so that's says Yeah, I think it was one
of the options was gonna be escaped the pause from Aliens,
but they didn't cast Ripley, but it was gonna implied.
Speaker 2: Oh that's interesting. But that's the thing, like Tay.
Speaker 1: Like if she were just to show up like that,
I don't know. For me, it's like, if you don't
do a new connuity, there's nothing to do with Ripley.
Speaker 2: She died, she was cloned, Like what would you even
do with that character, Like it just would just be
another clone.
Speaker 3: I don't know about another clone, but like.
Speaker 1: You couldn't survive. She'd fucking dove off that thing. She's melted.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like it has to it can't be in that storyline.
It has to be something else in between. And that's
why I'm thinking, Okay, maybe maybe, maybe maybe we get
something that's alien isolation oriented where you have Amanda and
it maybe Amanda because we know that there's a second
game in the work, so we know that that storyline
had a lot of inspiration and Romulus or I would
say a lot of inspiration, but they took things from
the game and put it into the movie that you
could visually see, like the safe points, the telephone.
Speaker 3: So there's lots of little things that were inspired. I'll say.
Speaker 4: So, I think, Okay, maybe we know Amanda is a
real character Amanda Ripley, because she's there and the director's
cut of aliens, uh you actually, I think you see
a picture of her as an elderly woman and they
talk about her with Ripley's I think that there is
a possible chance that maybe you could get a movie
that's focusing on Amanda Ripley and you get young Sigourney
Weaver in there. Maybe it's like flashbacks, maybe it's something
like that connected with the character, or maybe it's like,
I don't know, something in there with young Ellen Ripley.
But I think that that would be a much better
approach to it, because then you could have it in
that same time period as Romulus around like again, not
a Romulus sequel, but in that same line of events.
Speaker 1: So it's Mike guess right, well, we were just played
a fourteen year old and Avatar too, like thirties version
or so should.
Speaker 2: Be a step up.
Speaker 1: It is, But at the same time, she's like her
whole body's NAVI right, and you're moving into There's many
times where the novey is just CGI, like when Sangourney
Weavers doing the action scenes in there, it's a blue
CGI alien right, where Robert Darrell is running after a
criminal that's him, So I guess you could do that.
But then you're CGI and like human skin and everything.
It's tough, so yeah, we'll see. I'm very curious if
this is real.
