MUST SEE: New Poster And Banner For RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION
As most of you know, I am a big fan of this franchise. And If you have been following along, then you know that I am also a proponent of having waves and waves of zombies in the way of our heroes. I'm happy to say that because of the trailer it seems that Paul WS. Anderson is doing it the right way! :-)
Have a look at some new artwork that Sony Screen Gems has released for us:
THE POSTER -
Very cool mash up look at the destruction of cities around the world (London, New York, Moscow) with a fleet of heavily armed helocopters bearing down on us. Clearly global peril is a key element this time around.
Note the currents in the water form up to be the emblem of the Umbrella Corporation.
THE BANNER -
Simply has Milla Jovovich doing her killing thing with the tagline: THINK GLOBAL. KILL LOCAL. Seems to be a clue to what we might anticipate seeing in the movie along the lines of: "To win this thing you have to have the bigger picture - but oh by the way, zombies at your 6."
Here's the movie's storyline:
The wildly successful film franchise adaptation that has grossed nearly $700 million worldwide to the popular video game series, “Resident Evil,” returns in its highly anticipated fifth installment, “Re5ident Evil: Retribution” in state-of-the art 3D.
The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun.
More when I get it! RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION opens September 14, 2012.
