The Resident Evil franchise has appeared on the big screen before, most notably through Paul W.S. Anderson’s films starring Milla Jovovich. While those six movies included some characters from the games, they largely told a separate story focused on Jovovich’s character, Alice.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe and James Gunn’s DC Universe both showcase classic hero stories, but some of the most interesting superhero content is now coming from independent comics. One great example is ‘Invincible’.
As a huge fan, I’ve been following the Resident Evil series for years, and it’s amazing to see how popular it still is! There have been so many movies, shows, and extra games over the years, but the newest game, Resident Evil Requiem, is a massive hit. It sold seven million copies in just two months, which makes it the fastest-selling Resident Evil game ever – that’s incredible!
The director of the hit 2025 horror film is already working on a new movie: a fresh take on Resident Evil. Starring Austin Abrams, the film tells an original story within the Resident Evil universe. A sneak peek shown at CinemaCon in April revealed Abrams playing Bryan, a delivery driver caught in the chaos as Raccoon City falls. His simple delivery turns into a desperate struggle for survival when he encounters the terrifying creatures now roaming the city.
I first became interested in the film Last Summer around 2008 while researching the movies made by Frank Perry and his wife, Eleanor, who co-wrote the screenplays. They created a truly impressive series of films, beginning with the Oscar-nominated David and Lisa (1962) and continuing with intense dramas like Ladybug Ladybug (1963), and moving adaptations of Truman Capote’s stories, A Christmas Memory (1966) and The Thanksgiving Visitor (1967). They also made The Swimmer (1968), starring Burt Lancaster – probably their most famous film – and the powerfully honest Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970), which came out as their marriage was falling apart. While their films received praise when they were released, they’ve largely been forgotten, maybe because they didn’t quite align with the more experimental style of other American films from that time. Frank brought a traditional theatrical sensibility to his directing, while Eleanor, with her background in social work and psychology, had a deep understanding of complex human behavior in both children and adults. Their films are beautifully balanced and subtly powerful; they draw you in with their understated grace, and then deliver a devastating emotional impact.
I remember when the OceanGate Titan sub disappeared back in June 2023. It was so scary! They were heading down to see the Titanic wreckage, and not long into the dive, they lost contact. It was even more shocking to learn they were actually using a video game controller to operate the sub!
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, the company announced it’s expanding access to digital versions of stocks, and plans to add even more options in the next few weeks.
While popular shonen anime helped the genre become more well-known and respected, not every series from the 1990s was an instant hit. In fact, many great shonen anime from that decade were overlooked when they first came out, but they still hold up and are just as enjoyable today as they were over 30 years ago.
DC Comics heroes and villains have starred in many classic video games, and the Batman Arkham series is particularly famous for creating a new standard for action-adventure games. Its unique combat system, which focuses on timing and counters, has been widely imitated. Now, rumors suggest that the Injustice series – another popular DC fighting game – is preparing a new installment.
