A decade after Milla Jovovich first starting shooting guns and kicking asses as Alice in the videogame adaption Resident Evil, here we are in 2012 and a fifth installment in the franchise is going to continue in that rich tradition of gun-shooting and ass-kicking with Re5ident Evil: Retribution. Almost two weeks ago, Screen Gems released the very first teaser trailer, which featured Alice standing atop the White House. Today, the studio has dropped the first teaser poster and a bit of promotional artwork.
In the early 1990's, Mortal Kmobat became one of the first videogames to cause parents all over the country to go into an uproar and implore, "Won't somebody think of the children?!" Now-antiquated graphics depicting blood splattering, dismembering, and decapitations added to the fun of an enjoyable fighting game for a bloodthirsty youth just waiting for the moment to freeze their friends' entire bodies then smash them into oblivion with a roundhouse kick. This lead naturally a significantly less violent PG-13 Mortal Kombat movie, but the cinematic franchise has been dormant for the last fourteen years. Now though, it looks like New Line Cinema is preparing a Mortal Kombat reboot, and the studio has hired a familiar webseries duo to get the job done.
