Anderson vs Capcom films?
[edit]The general public wouldn't know who Anderson is. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for Live-Action vs CGI/Animated Films?KiasuKiasiMan 10:34, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- Good joke, man. Good joke. *sarcasm* --TheHande (talk) 18:02, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
Capcom cgi films needs more attention in this wiki page. It seems more focused on the horrible live action films. Yes I know that's an opinion but it's also a fact since the cgi films are popular. --Ronnie42 (talk) 23:39, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- @Ronnie42: the CGI films will now have a separate article, you can help at DRAFT:Biohazard (film series) -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 09:26, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
Resident Evil 5

Boris Kodjoe also tweeted he would be returning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.126.33.106 (talk) 22:28, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Shawn Roberts will retrurn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.126.33.106 (talk) 19:27, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
- They may be shooting something, but principal photography is not planned until October 10. However, I do have the article already laid out here if anyone wants to help contribute to it. It will be moved into the mainspace once filming is reported to be happening via reliable sources. Per WP:NFF. —Mike Allen 20:31, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Why was The animated films article created?
[edit]I'm posting a comment here since I don't know if anyone will see the post at Resident Evil (animated film series). I wish to again ask what was the harm in having all the films in a single article in the first place? The current animated film series "article" is quite terrible. There's numerous sub-sections, each only two sentences long with no plot summaries or anything else of real substance. No summaries of critical reception, no notable cast-members or creative persons listed. If this material had a need to migrate anywhere, surely it should have gone to the main Resident Evil (series) article as it shares the plot canon with the games. In six months there has been barely any edits to it at all. --84.251.83.85 (talk) 20:16, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter year of release.
[edit]This has been going back and forth for a while now, so we need to decide which way we're going to do this. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter was released in Japan in December of 2016, and was released in North America in January of 2017. Which year do we want to assign to the film? It seems to me that wherever it was released first, regardless of the territory, should be the year of release. After all, this is not just the Wikipedia for the United States. Thoughts?Rcarter555 (talk) 06:35, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Country
[edit]One editor added country information to the Infobox, then another editor deleted the country information with the edit summary "unsourced, and this has been discussed on the talk page many times".
I don't see any discussion on this page, so I'm adding this note to say I agree that it is probably best to leave out the country details since it is difficult to ensure they are correct. I'm fairly sure that there have been discussion about this on the talk pages of the individual articles, just not here on the franchise page. -- 109.79.177.186 (talk) 21:07, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- Looking through the article history, you're right. I'm pretty sure it was discussed somewhere, though. I just can't remember where. Anyway, yes, the countries has been a source of disruption for a while. Some day, we should go through the individual articles and fix them per {{infobox film}} ("
If there is a conflict of information in various reliable sources, then list only the common published nations.
"), but just dumping a bunch of citation the article works for now. The worst case scenario is an editor who decides to simply add a bunch of unsourced countries here. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 08:03, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Resident Evil (film series) → Resident Evil (film franchise) – This article no longer covers a film series, it covers a film franchise, due to the fact that 2021's film is not part of the film series, it is separate from the Alice continuity of the Milla Jovovich / Paul W.S. Anderson films -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 04:26, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I can't find any other examples of wiki pages using the term "film franchise" in a page's title although I could be mistaken; it seems that the term "in film" is a much preferred name although that would expand the page to include the animated films.Yeoutie (talk) 14:33, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: No strong feelings on this, but does a series necessarily imply continuity? Article titles aside, I would describe the James Bond films as a series of films, and Final Fantasy as a series of games, even though they don't all share the same continuity. Popcornfud (talk) 17:14, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- There are two EON Productions James Bond film series, the one before Daniel Craig, and Daniel Craig's films. Daniel Craig's films belong to one continuity. The films preceding Craig are in a loose continuity. So it is also a film franchise. Though that article resides at List of James Bond films. Batman is also a film franchise, but that article resides at Batman in film. Rocky (franchise) has multiple film series (Creed and Rocky) and non-film properties. Batman is composed of the Burton/Shoemaker series, the Nolan series, and other non-series films; in addition there are the entries that appear in the DCEU which isn't a Batman franchise but a DC franchise film. There's Alien (franchise) composed of the Alien film series, the AVP film series, the David film series; and non-film properties. The The Conjuring Universe is a film franchise that has its own proper name, and a boatload of separate film series. Halloween (franchise) has several branched off series, and non-film properties. Since Resident Evil itself is a greater encompassing franchise with non-film properties, this article isn't the Resident Evil franchise article. -- 65.92.247.17 (talk) 23:11, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'm going to oppose this RM – "(film series)" is correct, and "(franchise)" is correct, but "(film franchise)" is totally non-standard. I see no real problem with leaving this at "(film series)" – it is a "series of films", even if the latest one is a "reboot" of sorts. Note also that Resident Evil (franchise) redirects to the base Resident Evil article which covers the entire franchise, including the two extant TV series. So, yes – this article should stay where it is. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:43, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- "franchise" is not correct with this article only covers films, not the entire franchise. So the corresponding version for film would therefore be "film franchise", since this is not a series of films, as the 2021 film is not part of the series. Just as the 2000s Battlestar Galactica is not part of the same series as the 1970s Battlestar Galactica TV series. And Ocean's 11/12/13/8 are not in the same series as the Rat Pack's Eleven -- 65.92.247.17 (talk) 03:41, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- None of which gets to my point that "(film franchise)" is never used to disambiguate. "(film series)" is fine in this case. If there were going to be more films in the "reboot" continuity, which it looks like there won't be, we could discuss changing the article to Resident Evil in film. But such a move is simply not necessary in this case. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 12:15, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
