The director of Titanic and Avatar discovers one of his guilty pleasures through the movie based on the video game and praises Michelle Rodriguez.
James Cameron, the famous director of authentic blockbusters like Titanic or Avatar and who is now, precisely, working on the different sequels of Avatar (despite the slowdown due to the global coronavirus crisis), has collaborated with the Empire medium in an article on the history of cinema, defending a famous film adaptation based on a popular Capcom video game saga, Resident Evil, assuring that "it is wonderfully made".
Praise for actress Michelle Rodriguez
Thus, the famous filmmaker claims that during the quarantine he has revised the original adaptation of Resident Evil of 2002 by Paul W.S. Anderson with actress Milla Jovovich as the main protagonist, a film that led to a number of sequels that lasted until 2016 with Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. But going back to the original film, Cameron says he loves it and really appreciates how it's done.
"One of my culpable pleasures that I actually think is wonderfully made is Resident Evil," the director tells Empire. In addition, he does not skimp on praise for the actress Michelle Rodriguez and her role in that film, and who would participate in Avatar years later: "Seeing Michelle Rodriguez in this movie, moving like a wild creature, is a joy," concludes the director.
Since the end of the Resident Evil film saga in the cinema, a new reboot of it is already being worked with the filmmaker James Wan (Saw, Aquaman, Warren File) as the maximum responsible and who would have Johannes Roberts as screenwriter and director, a new reboot that claims to be much more faithful to video games than was the saga starring Milla Jovovich, which with each new film distanced itself more from the original concept.
Precisely, Milla Jovovich stars in the next Monster Hunter movie, based on another legendary Capcom video game franchise.
