Terrible idea I agree.
Paul "WS" Anderson is raping movies that have a built in fan base one after the other (because that's the only way he can get people to see his movies?). Instead of doing something the fans want, he does something he wants because "he's a huge fan". So, we get his hack attempt at storytelling, and since his previous movies made money, he gets to keep doing this forever, and we keep paying to see it!
Can't wait to see what he does next. Maybe the Metroid movie?
He's not directing Resident Evil 2, I think he's the writer/producer on that one.
It's sad that the ideas he's making movies from are better than the ones he's coming up with. Proof that life is not fair.
Yeah, "whoever wins, the fans lose".
