Earlier today, we reported on the news that Netflix may be looking into a Resident Evil series, working alongside Constantin Film, who previously worked on the films alongside Screen Gems Entertainment.
And since that time, we’ve seen a number of mixed reactions to the series, with some hopeful that it’ll be similar to the nature of the awesome games. However, there are also some that are worried the series might go the same route as the later films in the series- to them, the wrong direction.

After all those live-action movies I can only approach with maximum skepticism, those CG movies are still the shit though and should be watched by all fans.

You know what? Constantin Films are gonna be behind this, right? Sure, Milla can come, just make sure we get to see what happened right after this scene. Then all will be forgiven. #ResidentEvil #Netflix @ResidentEvil @Netflix pic.twitter.com/2Igkj4QRuF
