Romero would have done RE justice. The Anderson flicks are mindless and mediocre at best.

RIP, George Romero. How I wish he was still alive to make more zombie films.

I love learning about movies that were almost made. You guys gotta do more

Dude, my karate teacher (and his wife too) in Japan was obsessed with the Biohazard game. He is the same age as my father (now 73) and he played more video games than I ever even imagined LMAO

Keep in mind that script your talking about is Romero's first draft, first drafts are never good, but he wrote more than 1 draft, but the rest weren't found. The others drafts were even closer to the games

Its a shame it never got made. And yeah the script isn't perfect but it was way closer to the games. How hard is it to make a zombie movie in a huge mansion? I guess dealing with clones and a powerful superhero type female was less difficult and simple....come on.

4:48, Holy crap! Took them a while to make the first Resident Evil.

Makes me cry everytime. I hope there's a timeline out there where this happened.

I wish studios would stop treating zombie movies as a cheap gimmick to haul in as much money as possible. Give us a gritty, horror/mystery driven movie with solid characters that can actually stand as a film

What ever happened to Romero's Twilight of the dead

Cool things about Romero's script: 1. Barry is black. 2. The mansion belonged to an eccentric bootlegger during Prohibition, which explains the secret passages etc. 3. Chris gives this whole speech about greed being "the evil that resides in all of us", which is a great explanation for the series' name.

I discovered that George A. Romer also wrote a script for a Goosebumps movie which was based on the first book of the original Goosebumps called Welcome To Dead House which was also about zombies.

Why are people acting as if George A. Romero’s script is some recently unearthed holy grail of horror cinema? It’s been floating around the internet for decades.

3:17, love that movie. He made his next film almost 10 years later, Bruiser, in 2002.

It’s easy to pick apart Romero’s script but, damn it’s actually a Resident Evil Story and George A Romero deserved a second mainstream go it’s really sad this film wasn’t made! in 2020 you could take The Romero script make a HQ CGI film i think most horror fans in general would love it! the only thing Paul W.S. Anderson did was cast a model/singer in the lead role got her naked in the film married her and build Resident Evil around her for 5 more sequels (These two same clowns are now attached to Monster Hunter film adaptation go figures but, yet a talented like Fred Dekker was black listed in Hollywood 🤔

The Resident Evil movies are an absolute abomination to a holy grail of a franchise

Well if the rumors are true then that upcoming reboot is basically Romero's script but adds some interesting spins

I remember the original PlayStation Resident Evil 2 game case advertised a contest to be an extra in Romero's "upcoming" movie... I wonder who won lol

Love Romero also a fan of Paul WS Anderson too. I enjoy the films, coming from a huge fan of the games. They get way to much hate.

This ad was far more satisfying than Diary and Survival of the Dead combined

1:46 lmao god damn. What reflexes

6:15, they neutered!! Lol!

Why oh why didn't they just follow the story set out in the games its half the reason I kept playing was to find out what happened to my favourite characters :(

Its sad that dream never came true.

Wait, they didn't have Romero do the movie? A Hollywood studio declining a good decision? Breaking news!!!

"But it did give us this scene, so maybe all is forgiven." Nope, not even close. lol I would love to visit the alternate universe where this film actually happened. Sure, it may not be a groundbreaking film but it certainly would've been better than the Resident Evil films we got.

Jeez what could have been because the movies we got are trash action flicks, makes me wonder if they tried to make the later games like RE5 and RE6 more like the movies.

Romeros film makes more sense but wow the budget. Wat he asked for would not have been enough either.

Land of the Dead should get a mention. It may not have been as good ad its three predecessors, but it was a great deal better than the last two in the franchise.

Hey great video man love all the vids but I think you need to talk a bit clearer and louder if that’s your voice then that’s fine I don’t mean to be rude I just think you could speak up. Anyway great video keep it up.

5:20 LMAO Romero: "Well his name is Redfield, so lets make him a native American who owns a farm"

My unmade resident evil outline: Part 1. Biohazard Part 2. Resident Evil Part 3. Racoon City It all takes place in 98. On a fictional island, Raccoon Island. Off east coast. I imagined a tone similar to the bug scene on Jackson's King Kong and the feel of the indie movie Monsters for Biohazard (part 1). The atmosphere is suppose to always have this unsafe feeling about it. It opens up with tourist on a train riding around island. They have earphones and are listening to history of Island (like boat rides in sf when they're going around islands). We get a brief history on the healing plants found on island (ref to those healing plants on RE) And why that island is chosen for experiments. Train pulls up to another train still on track so he stops it (its going kinda slow anyways, it's for the tours). Gets out, runs to train to see what's up and sees bodies all over the place. Just chunks of flesh ripped off tourist and employee's backs. Then he sees an elephant seal type looking monster slithering, wobbling toward him the way those seals move. Then more emerge from forest. We get to see them rip all the tourist apart on the track/train carts. Pan up. Plane shoots in frame and crash lands on island setting up my trilogy :) Eh?? Eh????? My Bio Hazard and Resident Evil would at some point be happening at the same time so I wrote both outlines in chronological order which was HARD!!!!!!!!! Then 2 goes right into 3. Each movie kinda ends with the new heroes failing which is a downer, but it's implied that the survivors of the story go on to fight umbrella, which would theoretically be the games 4 and 5. But I wrote it to be a trilogy only. I kept all the original characters from Resident Evil Zero, 1 and 2. Read the damn books. Watched the game play on KZfaq. Did research on weather during my dates. I think the Clinton's were getting into crap during that time and I added that, brought the man guy from the resident evil ship game with blonde hair as a cameo. I know I'd get crap for making Raccoon city an island I just don't know how an evil corporation wouldn't see to do this crap on an island where it can be contained. It's like they wanted to world to end. Wtf. No. It's about money. Plants heal people on that island. They create a lab on island. Use wealthy peoples income living on island, in this perfect paradise with no crime. High tech medical facilities. Doctors. Lawyers. The wealthy. They wouldn't notice if one of their constantly traveling rich buddies disappeared from a mysterious attack. Umbrella comes in, hides body, and the government turns a blind eye in the name of progress Sorry. Lol.

Wonder how the 2021 Reboot of Resident Evil is going to be any good?🤔 just want to see Agent HUNK, William Berkin injected with the G Virus, Hunters, Giant Alligator, Giant Spiders, Zombies etc. Oh and NO ALICE OR any character named ALICE and any Easter eggs connected to the ALICE character, basically what I dont want to see in an Resident Evil Movie is Milla Jovovich.

its funny how long it took for people to rip into this script thats been online for a decade

Romero's version (the draft we have all read at least) was pretty much unfilmable, to be honest. It featured almost EVERY monster from the game: it would've cost a fortune. Also, EVERY character from RE1 (including the whole Bravo Team, who are just corpses in the game) was in there, along with some from other entries in the series and a couple of additions like Rodriguez, the Vasquez-esque character that looks suspiciously a lot like Rain - more on this later. We're talking about a huge main cast here, with most of the actors having very little to do in most scenes aside from appearing in the background. What I find interesting is that very few pointed out the huge debts the released version has with Romero's script: they both are mainly set in the underground lab, with the mansion playing only a small role (in Romero's script there's a few more scenes...but that's also true for Anderson's script which can be found online). In both cases we see a task force entering the mansion and the leader using some high-tech gizmo to access the secret passage to the lab. Both feature a tough Latin woman clearly inspired by Vasquez from "Aliens" (that was nowhere to be found in the game). But, most interestingly, the famous laser scene from Anderson's movie is a mix of two scenes from Romero's script: in one, the corridor leading to the lab's core turns into a sort of huge meat-grinder. In another, the STARS team faces a set of smart squirtguns (!!) that shoot acid on whatever crosses their laser sights...which eventually form a net pattern.

Any changes Romero made were fine compared to what we’ve got, so I consider it lame to criticize it at this point

I wish we were in the George Romero RE film timeline :((

I remember seeing night of the living dead as a kid. Gave me nightmares for weeks lol.

It would have been great if George Ramaro would have been given a second chance to changed up his first script BY THAT JAPANESE GUY. THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED! AND BEEN AWESOME.

This would be better than the 2021 Resident Evil reboot. Yeah Jill is not a blonde and Leon is a pot head hippie.

Forgiving nothing til Romeros version is made

10:14 I guess you didn't see Cube from 1997? :P I was so disappointed when Romero was kicked from the project, big time fan of his work. And now it looks like we are going to get once more the same treatment of Monster Hunter :(

Could of sworn Rob Zombie was approached to direct as well. His version being way to brutal then what they wanted. Or have I mixed it up with Romero?

This just 😭 me that we could have had a 🦅Native American main character in a horror movie 🎥🍿

9:30, he ruined evey video game related movie for 12 years! Oh, well. Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😉

Considering the version we got didn’t even have Jill or Chris in it I find it hard to believe that writing Chris’ character as a non-S.T.A.R.S character would’ve been the real reason the Romero version was overlooked, and the point the movie makes about the gore content seems most likely. Surely some movie studio out there can pick up the Romero script and make it - surely?

The script was attoricous I read the whole thing but a different script with Romero directing and tom savini zombies would have been amazing

I’m hoping that the Netflix series will make up for the movie that never happened.

Brad Renfro was a Great Actor

"Rom-ee-ro"?

Didn't they just do a remake that was faithful to the game and it absolutely bombed? Say what you want about Anderson's RE movies, but I enjoyed them, except maybe the last one.

I think even, Guillermo Del Toro would be do a better job than Paul.

2:22 Frog. It's a frog.

Skip to 3:15 to get through filler and shit you already know

Yeah CW Oliver Queen's Stepdad death is brutal and impressive, but I think Romero could done better.

Can people stop hating on Land of the Dead?

Wait what he was gonna make a resident evil movie

8:08, no, they were not.

yeah! if there's one thing resident evil fans love about those games its collecting the keycards! . . wtf?

Rip George Romero 🙏

ANYTHING would of been better than the complete fucking travesty that is the current movies! Anderson is a complete joke of a director. He made Mortal Kombat which was good mainly due to its sauce material and its score, then he abandoned the franchise and let it die. He then made Event Horizon, whilst a good movie it should of been better, and he let the studios lose the original footage!!!??? How does a director do this? It's your movie, its your vision and you don't ask where or how the original print is being stored?? Just shows how much he really cares. Now we will never get a directors cut of the movie. And then he made RE, which was a complete slap in the face to RE fans. All this movie series does is let Anderson show off his hot wife in skin tight leather in slow motion. The series is a waste of money, a waste of time, a waste of plastic, and a waste of film. Delete it from existence.

When I liked the video it went to 666 likes. Lol

The mispronunciation of "Romero" as "Romeero" makes this damn near unwatchable

Hey, Land of The Dead was good!!!

Nope not All is forgiven!! I still regret wasting money going to the theaters to see first 2 movies and throw House of the Dead in there too!!🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤢🤢🤮🤮

Whats up with your voice lol

Noted: never give a good story to an amateur. The movie series was not great at all. I think I was ok with the first movie and that’s it. The rest 💩

I'm a billionaire and I will make this movie if it's the last thing I ever do

Glad he didn't get to make RE.The original dead movie is groundbreaking but George wasn't a great director. His later work definitely illustrates that. I don't want a live action copy of the game. I like Alice being an outside character.i really enjoy the first 2 movies.

God, those movies are horrible...

I honestly believe Romero couldn´t have done a better job than Anderson did in the 1st film... I love Night of the living dead, but I think all his other movies are overrated - even though I´m a huge fan of all things zombie. Anderson still made a legit thriller imo, and the new characters and story were were bold and pretty cool. Not a cinematic masterpiece, but a solid 7 for me.

Resident evil movies all suck
