Kevin Smith’s new film, The 4:30 Movie, has been shot and has now been snapped up for distribution worldwide: more here.
Rest is not on the agenda for Kevin Smith, who in recent times has invested in the cinema he frequented when he was younger, rebranding it The Smodcastle Cinemas. He co-owns the site, and also shot a film there by the name of The 4:30 Movie.
Starring Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo and Reed Northrup, The 4:30 Movie is described as a 1986-set comedy of age comedy, centred on three 16-year old chums who sneak into the movies every Saturday. What’s this, though? One of them, one day, invites a girl? Honestly. Tsk. Etc. She’s played by Siena Agudong, and also in the cast are Justin Long, Harley Quinn Smith, Keon Jeong and Jason Lee.

Having wrapped up (at least for now — there has still been talk of more Jay and Silent Bob movies and that long-anticipated Mallrats sequel) his Clerks universe with the third outing, Kevin Smith is back in original territory. His latest film, The 4:30 Movie, has just landed its first distribution deal.
Not, as you might initially suspect, a play on 4/20 and stoner culture (which has been a fertile subject matter for Smith), it'd actually a coming-of-age comedy set in the heady days of one summer in 1986.
We meet three 16-year-old friends, played by Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo and Reed Northrup, who like nothing more of a Saturday than sneaking into their local multiplex. Divisions creep in when one of them invites the girl of his dreams (Siena Agudong) along, and all end up learning lessons about life and love.

Saban Films announced today the acquisition of worldwide rights to the upcoming comedy The 4:30 Movie, directed and written by Kevin Smith.
Set in the summer of 1986, The 4:30 Movie is a coming-of-age story about three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local multiplex. But when one of the guys also invites the girl of his dreams (Siena Agudong) to see the latest comedy, each of the teens will learn something serious about life and love before the credits roll.
Set in the mobile phoneless, social media-free era of the ’80s, Smith shot The 4:30 Movie at his Smodcastle Cinemas in New Jersey—the same movie theater he haunted every weekend as a teenager. Two years ago, Smith and his co-owners saved the century-old Atlantic Highlands bijou from demolition, renaming it after his podcast theater.

Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch has found its Nani, Lilo’s older sister and legal guardian, in Sydney Elizabeth Agudong, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Disney declined to comment.
Newcomer Maia Kealoha is playing Lilo, while Zach Galifianakis joined the cast in February. Stitch, naturally, will be a CG confection. Dean Fleischer Camp, the filmmaker behind indie darling and best animated feature Oscar nominee Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, is directing the remake that is intended to be a major release on Disney+.
The Hawaii-centric story tells of the bond formed between a lonely human girl named Lilo and a dog-like alien named Stitch, who was genetically engineered to be a force of destruction. With nosy social workers and pursuing aliens banging on the door, the two bond over a shared sense of family and win the day.

The "Resident Evil" video game franchise is vast and complicated and has more entries than even its most hardcore fans might be aware of. As a compliment to the games' expansive pop culture presence, they have also been adapted into seven live-action feature films, four animated feature films, and two TV shows. The most recent "Resident Evil" adaptation was the high-budget, high-profile Netflix TV series that was released on July 14, 2022. Viewership was middling, reviews were warm, and the series was swiftly canceled after only eight episodes. While the series was wild and weird -- like the games -- it didn't find a good focal point, spreading its story over two timelines that didn't always organically intersect.
Half of "Resident Evil" took place in 2036, years after a viral infection leaked out into the world, creating zombie hoards, giant mutant animals, and the collapse of society; only 300 million humans remain alive on the planet.

As we know, Netflix cancelled their Resident Evil series after just one season. Given the cost of the series along with the lackluster reviews from critics and audiences, its cancellation wasn’t a big surprise, but the series definitely had its fans. Lance Reddick, who played Dr. Albert Wesker on Resident Evil, took to Twitter to respond to its cancellation and to give thanks to the showrunners, his fellow cast members, the executives who championed the series, and its fans.

Netflix's Resident Evil will not return for a second season.
Deadline reported Friday that the streamer had canceled the zombie drama after just one season.
The news comes around six weeks after its debut on the service.
It kicked off with 72.7 million hours viewed, but didn't grow much from that when it had a full week of release factored in.
Netflix shows typically surge in their second week on the service because more days are accounted and word of mouth usually moves the needle.
Resident Evil logged 73.3 million hours viewed in its second week.
The reaction from critics and viewers was not strong, either.
It has a 55 approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes but just 27 from audiences.
"Year 2036 – 14 years after a deadly virus caused a global apocalypse, Jade Wesker fights for survival in a world overrun by the blood-thirsty infected and insane creatures," reads the logline for the series.

The Umbrella Corporation will be closing its doors as Deadline has reported that Netflix has canceled Resident Evil after just one season.
The Resident Evil series was released a month-and-a-half ago, and although it debuted at the #2 spot with 72.7 million hours viewed, it dropped off of Netflix’s Top 10 after only three weeks. Combined with the cost of the series and lackluster reviews from critics and audiences, the cancelation of Resident Evil isn’t a huge surprise.

The first live-action series in the Resident Evil franchise will be a short-lived one.
Netflix has canceled the series after a single season. The decision comes six weeks after Resident Evil’s July 14 debut and after both the streamer’s own metrics and external measurements showed the series didn’t have a long shelf life with viewers.
The series was the first live action show in the media-spanning Resident Evil universe after a host of video games and movie adaptations and a Netflix animated series that premiered in 2021. It’s set primarily in 2036, 14 years after a deadly virus caused a global apocalypse, and centers on a young woman (Ella Balinska) fighting for survival amid hordes of zombies and other monsters.
The cast also includes Lance Reddick, Tamara Smart, Siena Agudong, Adeline Rudolph, Paola Nuñez, Ahad Raza Mir, Connor Gosatti and Turlough Convery.

After just one season that premiered this past July, Netflix has already made the decision to cancel their live action “Resident Evil” series, Deadline reports this afternoon.
Deadline notes, “The news, which comes a month and a half after the series’ July 14 release, is not entirely surprising as the drama did not have a particularly strong showing on Netflix’s Top 10 and cost vs. viewing is the streamer’s leading renewal criterion.”
The idea behind the Netflix series was to adapt different parts of different Resident Evil games, opening up the universe and allowing anything to be possible within the show’s world. In fact, there had been hints that elements from Resident Evil Village would be making their way into future seasons, with an appearance from Lady Dimitrescu being teased by the creators.
Alas, Netflix’s “Resident Evil” is no more. The fate of many shows in the streaming era.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not watched “Resident Evil,” now streaming on Netflix.
Before 17-year-old Siena Agudong heads off to New York University for school this fall, she made a stop at New Raccoon City for Netflix’s “Resident Evil” series. Based on the popular video game franchise, the horror show is filled with decaying zombies, bloody chainsaws and monstrous undead animal hybrids. For Agudong, who’s appeared in several Nickelodeon and Disney Channel projects in her young career, “Resident Evil” marked her biggest role yet and her jump into horror.
She plays Billie Wesker, one of the twin daughters of Lance Reddick’s mysterious father and Umbrella Corporation scientist Albert Wesker, who fans of the video game will recognize as one of the franchise’s biggest villains.

The big question for longtime Resident Evil fans with regards to Netflix’s new take on the franchise is whether or not it exists within the same canon as the games. Does this show continue or enhance the timeline of the video games in some way?
The definitive answer is revealed in episode 7, “Parasite,” in which we learn that the show’s Albert Wesker (Lance Reddick), father to Jade (Ella Balinska/Tamara Smart) and Billie (Adeline Rudolph/Siena Agudong), is one of several clones the Wesker from the games made of himself. We even see Reddick don the signature leather trench coat and shades for a short flashback scene in which the original Wesker physically and verbally abuses every soul in his vicinity, as only he can.

Netflix’s new Resident Evil series points the franchise in a very unexpected direction, completely changing what we think we know about the villainous Albert Wesker. Played by Lance Reddick (Fringe) in the new streaming show, the Wesker of this series is much more than just a mad scientist hellbent on world domination — he’s also a family man with two daughters with their own teen drama to sort out. Jade (Ella Balinska/Tamara Smart) and Billie (Adeline Rudolph/Siena Agudong) give us an inside look into what it’s like growing up a Wesker, and by the end of the first season, we’ve learned just what it means to be tied to such a dark legacy.

In the first season of Netflix’s Resident Evil, a diverse cast of screen veterans and young stars bring the sci-fi terror of Capcom’s long-running game series to life in a way fans have never seen before.
Before diving into the new Netflix series, here’s a guide to the main cast, their characters, and how they’re connected to the original games, as well as what the actors told Den of Geek about bringing Resident Evil to life…
Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker
This Albert Wesker isn’t the villainous, super-powered, leather-obsessed maniac we know from the games. Or is he? Fringe, John Wick, and Horizon Forbidden West star Lance Reddick takes the character in a new direction, with the once-big-bad, now-boring-dad moving his twin daughters Jade and Billie into the Umbrella-funded utopia New Raccoon City, where he’s a lead scientist for the Corporation. Albert seems to be a loving,...

When I think about zombies — or I should say, when a zombie show is either meticulously cogent or utterly unconvincing in its depiction of the undead — I often think about their transformation. Whether long or short, the process of losing your humanity and becoming a walking, growling, flesh-eating corpse tends to end with a sudden shift; a moment where the multifaceted human being disappears and a single-minded (zero-minded?) creature takes over — like a light switch being flipped or, as intended, like moving from life to death. There is no choice in the matter. Once bitten or otherwise infected, the bite-e is doomed to their fate. Surrender is the only option.
“Resident Evil,” over its first six episodes, provides plenty of time to dwell on zombie symbolism and verisimilitude. Staring into eyes surrounded by a clear, indented division between actual skin and latex breaks the spell of a fictional horror adventure.

Netflix’s Resident Evil is kicking off a new era for the franchise on the small screen. After years of movie adaptations starring Milla Jovovich and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, the franchise is shifting gears to tell a story unlike any we’ve ever seen on the big screen or in the games. This new Resident Evil series ditches Chris and Claire Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy, and Jill Valentine to tell a modern-day story about Albert Wesker and his family.
Starring the great Lance Reddick as the classic Resident Evil villain, the series not only gives us a complete reimagining of the character as a family man but also introduces us to his two teen daughters, Jade (Ella Balinska/Tamara Smart) and Billie (Adeline Rudolph/Siena Agudong), who have their own issues to deal with, like having to upend their whole lives to move with their father to...

Tamara Smart and Siena Agudong play the very close, very complicated teen sisters Jade and Billie in Netflix's new "Resident Evil" series. Despite the believable nature of their relationship, the pair tell Popsugar that they faced some major hurdles when it came to portraying siblings. In fact, they actually didn't meet until the day before filming.
"We didn't do a screen test. We literally met the day before we were just put on set," Smart says. "We met at the pool, and we just talked for hours." Turning to Agudong, she asks, "Do you remember anything we were talking about? Because I don't remember anything, really."
"I don't, but I remember leaving and I was like, 'Oh, I know a lot now,'" Agudong says with a laugh. "No one really knows how to start that conversation. You sit down, and you're like, 'Oh, this is going to be...

Ever since AMC’s “The Walking Dead” sank its teeth into pop culture, zombie shows have been reanimating on TV at an apocalyptic rate. Netflix alone has a horde of shows and movies, like Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead,” the Korean high school drama “All of Us Are Dead,” the period horror “Kingdom” and even the dark comedy “Santa Clarita Diet.” To stand out from the rest of the pack, all of these post-“Walking Dead” shows had to reimagine the classic zombie story by experimenting with genre or setting. Netflix’s “Resident Evil” series is no different, infusing its take on the undead with multiple timelines, teen drama and a sci-fi pharmaceutical company bent on world domination.
The “Resident Evil” franchise has been around for more than 25 years, launching as a horror game in the mid ’90s that terrified players with its grotesque monsters and haunting world.

Netflix’s take on Resident Evil is unlike any other adaptation of the long-running game series. Not just in its change of format but in its approach to blending the franchise’s zombie-ridden world with a semi real-world setting in which everyday conversations run the gamut from Covid-19 to Dua Lipa. It’s a strange cocktail of a show that can be patchy and imbalanced at times, and yet oddly fun, irreverent, and surprising as well. This show is all over the place, which makes it quite similar to the game series it’s based on, perhaps unintentionally so.
Before going any further, the most important thing to note is this: If you’re a fan of the games, the show gets better as it goes. The most intriguing aspect of the story is that it builds on the lore of the games quite deliberately,...

In 2002, the first “Resident Evil” live-action film based on the zombie horror video game dropped in theaters. Although director Paul W.S. Anderson’s adaptation featuring Milla Jovovich was entertaining enough to garner a sequel, the film barely touched the original storyline and underwhelmed gamers and critics alike. 20 years, seven live-action movies, and about 12 games later, Netflix’s “Resident Evil” series is here to disappoint jaded fans yet again.
Created by Andrew Dabb (“Supernatural”), this new eight-episode Netflix series focuses on fraternal twins Jade and Billie Wesker, the daughters of scientist and Umbrella Corporation scientist Albert Wesker. The previous movies, including the recent “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City,” were action-horror spectacles. But this “Resident Evil” series feels like a YA time-hopping genre mystery unfolding across two timelines.

The Netflix interpretation of the “Resident Evil” franchise is “a completely brand new retelling of the story that follows the lore,” says popular South Asian-Canadian actor Ahad Raza Mir, who plays Arjun Batra in the series.

"Do not resist!" Here we go again, time for more monster mania. Netflix has launched the gnarly full-length trailer for their reboot of Resident Evil - a fresh series from long-time producers Constantin Film taking us on a journey to a different time & place. They do go back to Raccoon City again, but it's not the same as we've seen before. Set in 2036 in London, Jade Wesker fights for survival in a world overrun by the blood-thirsty infected and mind-shattering creatures of all kinds. In this new carnage, Jade is haunted by her past in New Raccoon City, by her father’s chilling connections to the sinister Umbrella Corporation but mostly by what happened to her sister.

Netflix has released a full-length trailer for its Resident Evil series, and it ups the monster factor by a lot.
The clip showcases more of the scale of the series, which is based on the long-running video game turned movie franchise, than an earlier teaser did. There are giant spiders, an enormous wormlike creature that bursts from underground and several other nightmare-fuel creatures, along with the hordes of zombies showcased in the previous clip.
Netflix picked up the series in August 2020. The TV adaptation is the first live-action series for the long-running franchise, whose first video game iteration debuted in 1996. It has also spawned seven feature films and a Netflix animated series that premiered in July 2021.

In the sneak peek above, survivors battle their way through an apocalypse that can be traced back to — big surprise here — the Umbrella Corporation. The company’s new antidepressant Joy contained the t-Virus, which essentially turns those infected into zombies. And it’s not just affecting people; the Joy drug has unleashed terrifying evil of different forms into the world.

“Resident Evil” is heading to the small screen, but the monsters appear to be bigger than ever. Netflix debuted a new trailer for their live-action “Resident Evil” series Monday as a part of their jam-packed Geeked Week, and the new footage offers some hints at plot details, along with plenty of mystery and even more monsters.
A new approach to the long-running video game, film and animation franchise, Netflix’s series (the first live-action series in franchise history) follows Jade Wesker (Ella Balinska) – daughter of familiar “Resident Evil” character Albert Wesker (played by Lance Reddick) – as she “fights for survival in a world overrun by the blood-thirsty infected and insane creatures. In this absolute carnage, Jade is haunted by her past in New Raccoon City, by her father’s chilling connections to the Umbrella Corporation but mostly by what happened to her sister, Billie.”

Just a year after the premiere of its last live-action adaptation, the “Resident Evil” franchise has risen from the grave in the first trailer for the upcoming Netflix horror series.
Based on the long-running Capcom survival horror franchise, “Resident Evil” stars Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker, one of the main antagonists of the original video game series. Tamara Smart and Ella Balinska portray the younger and older versions of Wesker’s daughter Jade, while Siena Agudong, Adeline Rudolph, Paola Nuñez, Ahad Raza Mir, Connor Gossatti and Turlough Convery round out the cast in undisclosed roles.
The plot for the new series has been kept under wraps, but the teaser trailer, set to the famous 1971 pop song “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony),” reveals that the show will be split in between two timelines. The first, set in 2022, sees Jade moving with her father and...

“Resident Evil” is back, and this time it’s heading to streaming. Netflix debuted the teaser trailer for its live-action series adaptation of the hit video game and film franchise on Thursday, revealing the first footage from the upcoming adaptation — and it’s jam-packed with all the “Resident Evil” hallmarks — the nefarious doings of the Umbrella Corporation, the spread of the T-Virus, blood-thirsty mutant animals and, of course, a whole lot of zombies.
After a glimpse at the false promise of Raccoon City’s 2022 utopia, the trailer jumps to post-zombie-outbreak London in 2036, delivering an action-packed (and blood-soaked) glimpse at the first live-action “Resident Evil” series. All eight episodes debut globally on Netflix on July 14.
