"Resident Evil: Extinction" posters: Thrilling in many ways

by
scribegrrrl

When I went to NewFest (New York's LGBT film fest) last month, one of the gayest things I saw was the Resident Evil: Extinction poster in the lobby. I mean, hello:

I'm not a big Milla Jovovich fan, and I don't even know if I'll see this movie — I'm still getting over the death of Michelle Rodriguez's character in the first Resident Evil flick. But I do enjoy the posters. Here's another, just released last week:

Still not as good as the poster for The Brave One, but definitely badass. Also, am I the only one who didn't know Ali Larter (Heroes) is in this movie? So is Ashanti. Here's a trailer (in keeping with other Resident Evil trailers, it looks like a commercial at first, but it's not):

    Now this is my idea of a chick flick...

    ..ladies bonding over dead zombie like creatures, I think I'm going to cry it's just so touching, oscar material too no doubt. ;)

    Oh i am right with ya!

     

    Chicks with guns, fighting nasty evils, kicking some serious butt. That is my ideal chick flick. :-) Can't wait for The Brave One and The Sarah Connor Chronicles... time for some serious girls only entertainment nights...

    I will definitely be seeing this movie.

     

    I love zombie movies, and anything somewhat resembling zombies.

    I feel really gay right now.

    I'm with you on this one.

    So gay right now.

    Janet: Everybody's talking about it.
    Amy: About what?
    Janet: How you met Lucy and lived to tell about it. They're calling you a hero, when really you're a slut.
    Amy: You shut up
    Janet: A gay slut.

    For those who are not huge Milla fans -- Seriously, check out her album from the mid 90's.  The Divine Comedy.  That girl can sing and the lyrics are stunning.

    I'm with you on that one! I am a huge Milla fan. She's talented...not to mention beautiful. I love watching her in movies and I've had her cd for years and still love it. As far as the poster...I was at the theater last week (to watch Transformers) I saw the RE poster and had made a comment about wanting it.

    Ooooh, a little “Planet of the Apes” action there with the panning of the camera over the Statue of Liberty.  This movie looks like fun and I have to admit I am a Milla fan (just wish I could pronounce her last name, LOL!) as long as she doesn’t open her mouth.  Looks like a hellofa lot more fun than my last visit to LV.

    Ultraviolet ROCKED! Umm, ok, it was not the clearest story line, and the other characters were rather 2-D, but she was great! I loved the fight choreography!

     I actually just bought this poster on eBay, as I have collected ALL of the resident evil posters. I can't wait for the full theatrical release (as opposed to the teaser) poster to come out.

    Milla is AWESOME!

    I liked that it wasn't the fact she was a woman, but that she lost a child the reason she bonded with Six. It was still cliche but not as the woman part.

    Milla rocks and rules y'all!! She's hilarious in interviews! Her characters are all awesome (Leeloo, hello?). I'm easily freaked by horror films, but I'm def. a die-hard Resident Evil fan. Again, how cute can she get doing interviews??? LOL :)

    Check out this interview.

    hell, yeah, i love milla. never missed a single movie. i dont like horror films but i just loved the RE sequels.

    milla is not a conventional figure. you have to analyze her to fully appreciate her talent and beauty. whats endearing is that she's never afraid to be goofy and funny...cos thats what she is.

    and she was smart enough to set herself free from the vacuous life of a supermodel...

    i love milla in the resident evil films. she's really good at action movies; i first fell in love with one of her kick-ass women characters in the fifth element. of course, she added a little depth to the kick ass with her role in luc besson's joan of arc. if you'd like a little texture with your action, i'd definitely suggest you check this one out.
