Milla Jovovich returns to the genre she knows so well with World Breaker. She stars opposite Luke Evans from Fast & Furious 6 and Dracula Untold. Brad Anderson is in the director’s chair for this science-fiction film. Anderson is known for such bleak projects as Session 9, The Machinist (which famously had Christian Bale lose a scary amount of weight prior to playing Batman) and Transsiberian. He has been dabbling in TV over the recent years, having directing for shows like Titans, The Man in the High Castle and Peacemaker.

Gary Oldman has, for five decades, been one of the greatest performers in the film industry, and comfortably holds the distinction of being one of the greatest actors of all time. Known for his immersive roles -- which often require make-up and prosthetics -- in some brilliant films, Oldman has demonstrated an impressive range rivaled by few. Whether he's playing the role of a cartoonish villain or a nuanced political figure, he has shown he can take on just about any persona.
Gary Oldman's career spans various genres, characters, and personalities, and has helped make the actor arguably the most talented of his generation. The icon has appeared in everything from big-budget franchises to smaller projects, and his roles can range from primary antagonist to a short cameo. Oldman's presence is a gift to the films in which he appears, and he's almost always the most captivating person in any scene in which he acts.

MCU launched actors like Hemsworth into stardom after smaller, darker roles. Hemsworth's intense performance in A Perfect Getaway showcased his early range. Despite early success in MCU, Hemsworth's prior roles displayed his versatility in acting craft.
When plainly put, the Marvel Cinematic Universe helped to make massive stars out of celebrities who were previously just drifting in and out of movies. For example — after starring in many, many films since 1970 that either barely passed at the box office (regarding ticket sales) or flat-out failed, Robert Downey Jr. flew to the sky with his role as Tony Stark in 2008's Iron Man.
Right before donning the role of the red, white, and blue hero in 2011's Captain America, Chris Evans was plagued with a line of mediocrely successful films (including a dead-on-arrival romantic comedy that almost ruined his career). Although they were successful in their own right, Tom Hiddleston was in...

Video game adaptations are becoming big business, and unlike a few years ago, they’re actually good. Gone are the days of subpar, almost insulting Super Mario Bros. movies of the 90s, replaced by semi-decent, very dedicated to the source material The Super Mario Bros. Movie of the 00s. Gone is the terrible Milla Jovovich Resident Evil movies, replaced by… equally bad, equally forgettable Welcome to Raccoon City. Okay, that one is a bad example.
The latest video game adaptation incoming is Prime Video’s Fallout TV Show, and after the latest trailer, it’s safe to say it looks incredible, just like The Last of Us, it’s clear the producers, writers, and directors are all determined to be as close to the source material as possible.

As the dawn of the new millennium approached, the world would start to see a trend of films that would become very mainstream. These types of movies are action horror video game adaptations. As stated in our previous video, there have been a number of different ones, but nothing stood out more than Resident Evil. In 2002, we were graced with the first in this series. It may not have been the critic’s favorite, but it did well enough at the box office to spawn a sequel. The name of that sequel is Resident Evil: Apocalypse (watch it Here). With a title that big, you would think the filmmakers went for bigger, better and more destructive…right? For the most part, yes and they even packed in some surprises for fans of the series. So today on Horror Revisited we ask that you suit up and strap in for Alice...

Umbrella Corporation. The name will forever be associated with unsavory, downright evil acts within the "Resident Evil" universe, catalyzing the events that define the franchise. Although Capcom's "Resident Evil" games have their own set of canonical events concerning Umbrella Corp., the film adaptations that branched into their own universe also paint this multinational conglomerate in a rather infamous light. In every iteration, Umbrella is never up to any good: be it the manufacture and mass production of biological weaponry, or ushering a new race of virus-enhance monstrosities. At the end of the day, the "Resident Evil" films also fit the survival-horror mold, with a woman named Alice (Milla Jovovich) at the center of the horrors crafted by none other than Umbrella.

Ah the early 2000s. The Xbox, PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube were the hottest videogame consoles around. Limp Bizkit, Smash Mouth, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, and Usher were ruling the airwaves and little did we know we would be blessed with tons of horror video game movie adaptations as well. Granted, some weren’t that great, looking at you House of the Dead, Doom and Alone in the Dark. But there also were some fun films from this genre…Silent Hill and Resident Evil. At the time, both weren’t exactly loved by critics, but they did have their fans and have each spawned sequels. Today, we’re looking at the first Resident Evil (watch it Here) on this episode of Horror Revisited.

What are the highest grossing horror movies of all time? More specifically, what are the highest grossing horror franchises of all time? On the list of the Top 20, only Five franchises in the history of the genre have crossed the $1 billion mark. Can you guess which ones?
Franchises including The Purge, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Final Destination, The Exorcist, Insidious and Halloween are some of the biggest of all time, but even they haven’t yet been able to crack that massive billion dollar milestone. Other franchises including Paranormal Activity and Scream come even closer, but haven’t yet crossed over into the billions.
The only horror franchises to hit $1 billion, you ask?
With 10 films under its belt – and an eleventh on the way soon – the Saw franchise officially shattered the $1 billion milestone with the release of Saw X last year. The return of Jigsaw and Amanda drove the...

Resident Evil's Alice remains a pioneering female protagonist in the horror genre even after 20 years. Milla Jovovich's dedicated performance and unique physicality bring the strong female protagonist to life. Resident Evil's Alice is a multi-dimensional character that breaks prominent horror genre tropes and gender stereotypes.
Alice, portrayed by Milla Jovovich in the Resident Evil films based on the popular Capcom video games, is a pioneering female protagonist in the horror genre. She made her debut in the 2002 Resident Evil film as an original character that did not exist in the video games. Milla Jovovich's performance brought a unique intensity and physicality to the character, making Alice stand out in the genre. Since then, Alice's multi-dimensionality and subversion of horror tropes have contributed to the evolution of women in horror films.

As the world waits for the unsealing of hundreds of court filings related to notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a new lawsuit has surfaced in Los Angeles accusing Epstein associate Jean-Luc Brunel of holding a woman hostage at a Canadian estate for sex abuse by multiple men.
The new accuser, suing under the pseudonym Jessica Kramer, alleges she was an 18-year-old model working in New York when Brunel — who was found hanged in a Paris prison cell two years ago in a reported suicide eerily similar to Epstein’s — “solicited” her employment.

The first Resident Evil movie performed well at the box office despite receiving mixed reviews, becoming one of the first successful video game adaptations. Resident Evil's blending of genres opened the door for adaptations of video game franchises within other genres. The Resident Evil films provide insights into what does and does not work when it comes to adaptations.
When the first movie adaptation of Capcom's Resident Evil video game hit the screen in 2002, it received mixed reviews from audiences who had never played the games, drawn to its large-scale, female-led action horror, and fans of the games who were dissatisfied with the significant deviations from the established narrative, characters, and setting. To this day, the Resident Evil film series remains one of the highest-grossing horror movie franchises. While these films were not faithful adaptations of the game universe, they set a precedent for future video game adaptations.

Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element" certainly has one of the most eclectic casts of any '90s blockbuster. On one hand, you have a variety of established actors. Then-beloved action hero Bruce Willis was the film's centerpiece, propped by British thespians like Gary Oldman and Ian Holm, both of whom had garnered recognition in major Hollywood blockbusters. On the other hand, you have a variety of unknown variables: Milla Jovovich, a young Russian model just getting her start on film; Chris Tucker, a hyperactive comedian slowly on the rise after "Friday," which also just so happened to feature "Fifth Element" co-star Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr., an actor-turned-wrestler-turned-actor-again. Besson's call sheet of obscure talents goes on and on. However, it is exactly the director's ethno-galactically diverse, if often aesthetically disparate, vision for the film that makes the cast of "The Fifth Element" fit surprisingly well together.

In a bold move, French film studio Pathé bet nearly $80 million on an all-star, double-barreled adaptation of “The Three Musketeers,” gambling that interest would be high enough that director Martin Bourboulon could split Alexandre Dumas’ swashbuckling epic over two films, spaced half a year apart, and audiences would show up for both halves. The gamble paid off, as the first part — “The Three Musketeers – Part One: D’Artagnan,” released last April — was a huge hit, and appetites remain strong for the sequel, which opens in France on Dec. 13.
In the States, however, where “Kill Bill,” “The Avengers” and “Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning” have paved the way for two-part blockbusters, that strategy seems less certain. A series of disappointing screen versions has tarnished the legend. It would be easy to eventize a double bill, marketed to fanboys and action-movie enthusiasts, in which all four...

Over the years, Milla Jovovich has made several films with her husband, writer/director Paul W. S. Anderson, including the films in the Resident Evil franchise. For several years, he’d been trying to make a movie out of the Monster Hunter video game — he’d actually worked on securing the rights to the film back in 2012. When the film went into production in 2018 after several false starts, Anderson asked his wife if she’d be interested in starring in the film. At first, she told us, she’d been a little hesitant, but once she read the script he’d prepared with her in mind, she changed her mind very quickly.

Warning: Major spoilers for Resident Evil: Death Island below!
Resident Evil: Death Island brings together the franchise's biggest game characters for an action-packed team-up fans have long dreamed of. The film pays tribute to the franchise's past by featuring Raccoon City and giving Rebecca Chambers a more active role. Death Island wraps up loose ends from previous installment Vendetta and includes some actual horror elements, adding tension to the predominantly action-focused animated Resident Evil movies.
Resident Evil: Death Island is something of a love letter to the franchise and one that fans will have a great time with. The first entry in the video game franchise was hugely inspired by zombie movies, so it felt only natural Resident Evil would be a good fit for the big screen. That said, the Milla Jovovich-fronted films placed far more of an emphasis on outlandish action and sci-fi twists than horror and...

2023’s American Film Market may be shaping up for “a rather quiet year,” says Martin Moszkowicz, chairman of the executive board at Germany’s Constantin Film. That said, Moszkowicz will stay in Los Angeles for around 10 days. “We have so much business there – and much of it is not related directly to the market,” he says.
That seems very natural for one of Europe’s not only biggest but most ambitious and successful production-distribution companies, producer of “Resident Evil,” which has diversified fast, consolidating a robust domestic production-distribution business while shaping major plays for the international market and ramping up TV revenues.
Moszkowicz hits the AFM just weeks after “Dear Child: Limited Series” has hit Netflix’s Top 10 of most-watched non-English language TV series in the global streamer’s history. For 2024, Constantin has “Hagen von Tronje,” a revisionist retelling of the Nibelungen saga, which weighs in as one of its biggest movies ever.

In the world of movies and TV shows, there are countless adaptations that have been made from popular novels and biographical works. But these forms of entertainment have also been inspired by and adapted from some of the biggest video games, which don't get nearly as much attention as they should. In 2023, HBO's acclaimed series "The Last of Us," based on the Sony action-adventure game franchise of the same name, broke viewership records and became the most-watched show in the history of the streaming platform in Europe and Latin America, per the Associated Press.
Along with television series, video-game-to-movie adaptations have also grown in popularity among audiences, with the star-studded "The Super Mario Bros." movie, adapted from the beloved game franchise by Nintendo, being the second-highest grossing film of 2023 so far, as reported by Insider.

The video game industry is swiftly growing into one of the most significant avenues of the overall entertainment sphere. With every passing year, video game sales are continuing to grow at an immense rate. Naturally, that spike has led to an increased number of movies based on video games. While video game adaptations on film and television are nothing new, they have never exploded in popularity. At least, not nearly as much as one would expect with recognizable prominent names like Super Mario Bros. and Halo.
For years, there has been a curse haunting the video game movie genre. Whether a film was based on family-friendly properties like Angry Birds or Ratchet and Clank, or if it was a more adult-skewing story like World of Warcraft or Hitman, it was seemingly impossible to make a video game movie that was both financially successful and well-regarded by audiences and critics.

Sometimes villains in movies can be forgettable or inconsequential, and it doesn't affect the overall enjoyment or engagement with the film. Villains with little screen time, who are easily overpowered, or lack sincere motivation can fade into the background. Even with a weak or underdeveloped villain, a movie can still be great if the heroes are well-developed, overcome obstacles, and engage the audience.
Villains can make or break a movie, but sometimes, they end up so forgettable or inconsequential that it doesn't really get in the way. Action films that have clearly defined heroes and villains often rely on the dynamics that play out between the two, whether their origins are linked or they have some sort of connection, this relationship tends to be important. For some projects though, the villains and heroes just seem to casually cross paths because of conflicting interests that lead them to each other.

It may seem hard to believe, but at one stage Resident Evil was not only the highest-grossing film series based on a video game, but also the highest-grossing horror film series period. Consisting of six movies and a reboot, the Resident Evil movies just kept making money even while they were being bashed by critics. Most of those critics arguably had valid points, but the arrival of a new Resident Evil movie simply became oddly comforting somewhere along the way.
Thanks to the creative voices of Event Horizon director Paul W.S. Anderson and his Fifth Element actress wife Milla Jovovich, six of the seven Resident Evil movies feature the character of Alice (Jovovich firing on all cylinders), a former security specialist and covert operative who initially has amnesia but eventually remembers she’s out to take down the insidious Umbrella Corporation, a global company responsible for Earth’s weirdest zombie apocalypse.

The prospects of a female-led spinoff movie in The Expendables franchise get an update from producer Les Weldon as Expend4bles continues its theatrical run.

However, Weldon isn't sure if such a spinoff will come to fruition. "I am not sure that, there's been talk, lemme just put it that way. It hasn't really moved any closer to fruition.

The potential female-led spinoff of The Expendables franchise has not made much progress, and scheduling difficulties are one obstacle. Other franchises like Pirates of the Caribbean and Fast & Furious have attempted female-led spinoffs, but few have actually been made. Some moviegoers prefer original films centered on the female experience rather than spinoffs in male-dominated franchises, like Ocean's 8. The poor reception to The Expendables 4 may also affect the possibility of a female-led spinoff.
The Expendables producer Les Weldon offers his take on a female-led movie. Talk of the franchise spinoff started back in 2012, with the film even receiving a tentative title, The Expendabelles. Heavy hitters like Cameron Diaz, Milla Jovovich, and Sigourney Weaver were mentioned in association with the project, but it never came to fruition. In November 2022, producer Jeffrey Greenstein cited one struggle: "why not just have women on the regular team and [they're] badass?"

As a film, Dazed and Confused has become a time capsule of sorts, since it features very early performances from the likes of Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, Renée Zellweger, Milla Jovovich, Parker Posey, and other young actors at the time. And, believe it or not, the film celebrates its 30th anniversary. Since the movie takes its name from a well-known Led Zeppelin song, it’s not surprising that music plays a large part in the film, and director Richard Linklater put a great deal of thought into cultivating its soundtrack. At the time of the film’s release, Linklater talked to us about how he actually built the film around the music.(Click on the media bar below to hear Richard Linklater) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Richard_linkalkter_Dazed_and_Confused.mp3
Dazed and Confused is currently streaming on Peacock and available on DVD, Blu-Ray, and most digital platforms.

(Welcome to Scariest Scene Ever, a column dedicated to the most pulse-pounding moments in horror with your tour guides, horror experts Chris Evangelista and Matt Donato. In this edition, Matt has a close encounter of "The Fourth Kind.")
With the release of Brian Duffield's "No One Will Save You" on Hulu this week, I wanted to revisit a freaky alien abduction flick that doesn't get enough attention. Olatunde Osunsanmi's faux documentary thriller "The Fourth Kind" approaches extraterrestrial horror from both an inquisitive and frightening angle by treating the story as real. Osunsanmi uses Alaskian isolation as a backdrop for otherworldly horror, preying on our fears of little green men who the government just confessed do exist. I can't even say aliens tie into fears of the unknown anymore. What a world!
Osunsanmi creepily distorts realism and movie magic to make you believe what you're seeing actually happened. I mean,...

Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element" might be the daffiest Hollywood sci-fi flick ever made (at least until Besson made the even daffier "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" 20 years later). The film had movie-star insurance in Bruce Willis, and the trailers promised a surfeit of futuristic eye candy, but what exactly was this zany-looking movie about?
The film may be visually cluttered, but its premise is fairly simple. Every 5,000 years, a force of tremendous evil emerges out of space and tries to destroy Earth. Fortunately, an alien race known as the Mondoshawns and a clandestine religious order are in possession of the only weapon that can repel this evil. This weapon consists of four stones which represent the five classical elements of earth, wind, fire, water, and Philip Bailey. Actually, the fifth element is a humanoid named Leelo, and, as embodied by Milla Jovovich, she is a lethal warrior,...

Kate Beckinsale initially had reservations about taking on the action-heavy role in Underworld due to people not perceiving her as an action star. Beckinsale reveals that it took a lot of mentoring in order to be ready to play Selene, recalling that she could barely run or throw a punch at first. Beckinsale's convincing portrayal of Selene as a commanding warrior with physical prowess was crucial to the success of the Underworld franchise and her involvement has been instrumental in the franchise's longevity.
Underworld star Kate Beckinsale admits that she wasn't a natural when it came to being an action star, recalling how she prepared for her role as Selene. Released in 2003, Underworld stars Beckinsale as a vampire assassin who finds herself caught in a war between vampires and Lycans, a species of werewolf. Despite lackluster reviews from critics, the film would prove more popular with audiences, and Beckinsale would...
