The Resident Evil movie was taken from a file in the first game that vaguely said something about the Umbrella corp. sending in their people to to do what was done in the movie. Anderson, in my mind, to find a way to appreciate the film as a true fan, must have used an obscure refrence in the game to develop his plot. My point is the man has to me an intimate knowledge of the resident evil thing. If so than the alien v. predator film will derive from obscure stuff from both movies, saying bye to the firmiliar and hopefully continue to give us quality science fiction for years to come.
