RE: Retribution SDCC Live Blog Transcript(s)
I copied and pasted the transcript of the live-blog done by ComingSoon.net. (Edited to remove fighting amongst fans, non-RE related comments.)
4:11 Silas Lesnick:
We're launching with Paul W.S. Anderson taking the stage!
4:12 Silas Lesnick:
He's talking about the global scale of the fifth film in the series
4:13 Silas Lesnick:
While the action is as big as possible in terms of action, he wants it to be as small as possible in terms of Mila Jovovich's Alice.
4:13 Silas Lesnick:
He wants an ultra-focused Alice that brings out the human side of her character
4:13Silas Lesnick:
They're premiering a brand-new trailer!
4:16 Silas Lesnick:
Like a lot of the RE trailers, this one opens with a fake-out, mimicking a romantic comedy
4:17 Silas Lesnick:
We see that Alice has been imprinted in a fake life in a suburban house with a husband and kid.
4:17 Silas Lesnick:
Much of the opening is the same as the old trailer, but this one seems be extra-long
4:18 Silas Lesnick:
We see the full cast and all the returning characters as well as the newcomers, including Bingbing Li's Ada Wong.
4:18 Silas Lesnick:
The cast has come on-stage!
4:19 Silas Lesnick:
They're about to show off some new footage
4:19 Silas Lesnick:
It's going to be a part of the climactic fight at the end of the movie. It's Alice vs. Jill Valentine!
4:21 Silas Lesnick:
We see cracks forming across an arctic terrain
4:21 Silas Lesnick:
Someone is climbing out of an Umbrella vehicle
4:21 Silas Lesnick:
It's a confrontation in the snow
4:22 Silas Lesnick:
Rain has a gun to Ada's head. Alice steps forward.
4:22 Silas Lesnick:
She blasts Rain with bullets and knocks her back, but she seems to regenerate
4:23 Silas Lesnick:
Jill and Alice begin a pretty epic fight, but it cuts off midway through just as the action hits a fever pitch
4:24 Silas Lesnick:
(It's Alice who shoots Rain. Rain stands as the bullets fall from her body and hit the bloody snow and her wounds close themselves.)
4:26 Silas Lesnick:
Milla, Boris Kodjoe, Michelle Rodriguez, Mika Nakashima and Oded Fehr are the ones on stage.
4:27 Silas Lesnick:
Mika doesn't speak any english, but has a translator
4:30
Silas Lesnick:
"There has never been a better time to be a woman who wants to kick butt in theaters," says Milla
4:31 Silas Lesnick:
Milla jokes that all Paul (her husband) does when he directs is "press record"
4:32 Silas Lesnick:
Milla says that being "suburban Alice" was much harder than doing action
4:32 Silas Lesnick:
It was trickier being frightened and screaming than just blasting things with a machine gun
4:33 Silas Lesnick:
"This is definitely the beginning of the end," says Paul about the franchise.
4:33 Silas Lesnick:
"A lot of big characters die."
4:34 Silas Lesnick:
"Resident Evil has a life after Alice and before Alice," says Milla
4:36 Silas Lesnick:
She says they never talk about a sequel while they're working on one, but that Paul did mention a sixth one that will probably end the Alice arc.
4:38 Silas Lesnick:
"I gyrate a lot," says Michelle about her exercise routine.
4:39 Silas Lesnick:
Someone is asking about how Michelle and Oded feel about returning from the dead
4:40 Silas Lesnick:
It looks like that's about it for this one. We should be moving into the rest of the Sony panel in just a moment.
From Shockya:
4:20 - Paul says the scene [Jill vs. Alice] is nine minutes long in the movie, but we only get two and some of the visual effects aren’t finished.
4:38 - How is it returning to the franchise? Oded says, “It’s wonderful.” He adds, “If they asked me to be the lunch boy and driver sandwiches I probably would have done that, too."
