The Films Resident Evil
The Resident Evil films are the most successful movies to be based on a video game. The Resident Evil film series hold the record for the “Most - Live Action Film Adaptation of a Video game” in the Guinness World Records Gamers Edition.
Until today there are five live action films under the title Resident Evil. The adaptation of the initial video game to film does not include all the plot elements of the video game, but the main characters of the video game are included as Jill Valentine, Clairie Redfield, Nemesis, Chris Redfield, Carlos Olivera and Albert Wesker. All Resident Evil films were written and produced by Paul Anderson. Anderson wanted to increase the audience interest for the film and for this reason he has created a main female character Alice as the protagonist of all Resident Evil films.
Resident Evil received negative critiques but the box - office success of the film franchise is incomparable and has made over $ 600 million in box - office - worldwide .
