Could screengems lose thier rights to RE like Raimi did with Spidey?

I just can't like the RE live action films though. I honestly see them as an intentional slap to the face to fans of the series.

Exactly. When those live action films arrived. I feel insulted, at the same time. It was like they're trying to change the real Resident Evil into shit.

By chance, do you write?

I do, but I've no desire to co-write a script or anything, on the chance that's the direction you were going with this question.

As far as the Osborns go, I'll be happy as long as they try to get Willem DaFoe back as Norman. Goblin confusion aside, he was the best part of the movie.

I wasn't. It's just that, to anyone who does write, they know exactly how hard it is, and will understand why someone might find sarcasm about the fact a little insulting. Just saying.

The guy who made these films was simply trying to make another action film, with no regard as to the fans. As with most people who make film adaptions of games, Anderson has no real concept of how to do it. None of them realise that STORY is the most important factor in a film. They just go hammering at it and hope for the best. That's why, in my opinion, the only remotely acceptable film adaption of a game is the first Silent Hill film.

And Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. There were some character changes and additions, but the story in and of itself was identical to the game.

Lemme see...woman with super powers, killing off all popular characters, unlimited ammo w/no reload, stupid plot devices, clones, etc., the killed Barry (?(!)).

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's trolling.

For me, it's that, and Tomb Raider 1 or the first MK (even though Anderson directed that one as well. It was at least a 8/10 for me.)
