Resident Evil Reboot Coming, 6-Movie Franchise Planned

$1.2 billion does a lot of talking. The fact the movies have pretty much all been garbage means nothing.

Weren't the fifteen previous ones enough?  Or however many there were; seems like these come out every 3 months. 

*Phew* It always felt like there was so much to say with this franchise and not enough films to explore that message.

This only works if they stick to the actual story the video game series laid out (Which the current one didn't)

Milk dat cow!

Well, if they insist on doing this, might as well use this opportunity to speak my mind on how I'd prefer it done: Resident Evil 7-ify it.

Strip out all the goofy things from the series that just don't work for a movie. What do we need for a Resident Evil movie? We need a remote town out in the Rockies (no, Capcom, the Midwest does not have Mountain States), a mad science experiment to create bioweapons, and we need a forest to put a mansion in that has their labs and facilities under it. And we need some cops answering a 911 call from some campers out in those woods so they can stumble on the mad science.

Get rid of the Umbrella Company and just have the damn thing be a government/military experiment run a group that's named itself "the Umbrella Corp" or something. Get rid of S.T.A.R.S., because having a bunch of highly trained ex-military people who don't know the meaning of fear running around plowing over everything they come across does not lend itself well to making the audience fear for their lives and have there only be two of them.

STORY: The Umbrella Corp has set up an underground lab under the mansion of a wealthy businessman, Spencer, who's helping to fund their research. He's known around the Raccoon City area as a rich eccentric who rarely comes out of his stylish cave to interact with the locals in town and there are always weird people in big trucks seen coming and going through the private road leading to his home.

One night, Officers Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine are regular beat cops answering an emergency call from some campers about "some nuts and their rabid dogs" attacking them. They take their squad car out to the camping area and get set upon by the Cerberus dogs from the game and maybe some zombies. Chris and Kill are forced to flee the scene with a couple of surviving campers who manage to hop into the back of their squad car. Let's just have said campers be a hunter named Barry Burton who came, well, hunting, with his buddies, and a college student named Rebecca Chambers who was there with her friends for Spring Break. They're forced off the dirt road and then forced to take shelter in the nearby Spencer Mansion, and thus Survival Horror begins.
And yes, OF COURSE Chris and Jill have called for backup and they're on the way.
Inside the mansion, they meet up with a high ranking Umbrella Corp member, Albert Wesker, but only after their initial run-ins with some undead, so he dispenses with the pretenses of innocent and just comes out and says they were conducting research to create bioweapons and things have not gone well recently. OF COURSE, he's planning on killing them all to silence them after he's done using them to restore order in the mansion. However, I would just have him die by the Tyrant's hand for real, because Super!Wesker was not just dumb and hard to take seriously.
Honestly, they can keep "The Hive" lab from the original 2002 film, that was actually decently well-designed.
