The documentary that will focus on George A. Romero's movie pitch that never came to fruition for the famous Resident Evil franchise got a confirmed release date of January 7th, 2025.

The documentary has been in production for a couple of years, with the first official trailer being released back in October of 2023. The popular website for everything horror-related in media, Bloody Disgusting, got the exclusive on the news for this documentary, with Uncork'd Entertainment acquiring the distribution rights for the movie for the United States and Canada. As for other regions, Dolphin Media seems to own the rights for Europe, including UK, and is in the process of sublicensing the film for other countries according to retro and classic gaming news website Time Extension. However, it is still unknown if other areas, like Latin America or Asia, will get a distribution of the film.

George Romero gave birth to modern horror, the modern zombie, and ultimately Resident Evil.
I am honored to bring fans the untold story of his most important unmade project, to celebrate the legacy of the man that inspired me to pursue filmmaking as a career. I hope fans enjoy this ultimate experience in survival horror.

Well, I was flabbergasted when I learned back then that they rejected Romero's story, I mean, I could only dream of a connection between Resident Evil and the Father of Zombies George Romero back then.

It is a great project and I look forward to it, but I can't help but think about how much time has gone by since he presented this script and now. I mean, maybe he had a couple of actors in mind, maybe he had specific instructions on how to use or not CGI or practical effects... I think that with so many new people and modern techniques, the vision is going to be modified.

But hey, the project was canned by those people when they rejected it, so I guess this is the best we can get. If you haven't, go and watch Night of the Living Dead, both the classic movie and the 90's remake. Those are two of the (if not THE) greatest zombie movies ever.

A fascinating and extremely talented man, for sure. George Romero has even been featured as a boss in a Call of Duty Zombies map in the past! Looking forward to this, will definitely give a watch if I can.

In the gta series (2, vice city, san andreas, 4 and 5) is the Hearse called "Romero's Hearse" (named after hin).

as someone who absolutely loves zombie flicks, especially from the founder of the undead genre I really want to see what his vision of Resident Evil would have been like. Probably would have been a lot better than what we got which should have stopped after the third movie IMO.

    That's why the EZ Flash Parallel was such a let down.

    There used to be somehow Acekard 2i clones and DSOne clones, but they seem to have disappeared off the site, perhaps old remaining stock that they had lying around.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    Speaking of Angband, why has no one ever made Angband 3D for the 3DS?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, And a let down it was. I was quite fascinated when EZ-Flash announced the product, and wanted to buy it. But was let down by the reviews and the responses from people on here, hence why I avoided it like the plague, as if I really needed another one. I'm fine with what I've currently got atm. :P

    @anotherthing, How was it? Did it suck per usual?

    It's very not exceptional.

    I was expecting it to do something more than pretty much every other card out there, and it doesn't do anything more.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Understandable. I did try to warn others about this cartridge, but they didn't listen to me or anybody else about the EZ-Flash and bought them anyways, only to realise that they wasted their money.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, It acts kinda the same way as an Ace3DS+ cartridge, because it uses the commonly known Wood kernel as a base.

    I have three EZ Flash Omega/DEs and I really was thinking that the EZ Flash Parallel would work similar to how the Omega worked. Where it recognizes the file extension and loads that file accordingly.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    To play an NES game on the EZ Flash Omega, you just toss it on the SD card and select it from the menu and it loads it in to the NES emulator.

    The EZ Flash Parallel just works like every single other card I have.

    My wife just got a 3DS, and I was hoping that the EZ Flash Parallel was something I wouldn't have to walk her through.

    I can walk her through how to do something like loading an NES game on a $10 cartridge.

    At least she has a console to play games on. :D

    I've never played Animal Crossing Wild World for a long time. Probably the best games on the system so far.

    I hadn't played the game in about a year until she started playing it. My first day back involved a lot of weeding.

    Speaking of chores, they need to be started in about six and a half hours, so I need to hit the sack.
