Resident Evil Movies...Good, bad, worse?

           

          I was reading through imdb.com (the internet movie database) when I stumbled on the page for "Resident Evil: Afterlife." The reaction i had to the rumored cast was nothing other then "you're kidding?" Here's a mind blower; Eva Mendes-Excella Gionne. Now it did say that it was a rumor, but the part that got me was that it was in her resume. She is a beautifull actor, and I am not doubting her skill, it is something else that bothers me.
          When I saw that in "Afterlife" Excella Gionne could be part of the cast, it made me have doubts on the new movie, In my own opinion, these movies were completely ruined. I couldn't stand how the plot was not even twisted, but completely change...minus the zombies. The makers stated that "why should we make a movie exactly based off the game, it is not original" (or something along those lines). This statement drove me nuts, because these movies had no connection. 
          To me, plot is everything, and in the motion pictures, that has been thrown away. I have read an original script that I got off of residentevilfan.com years ago. It was an script of the original Resident Evil movie by the Zombie Man himself, George Romero. In my opinion, it was a much better adaptation than the ones out now. There were slight differences and a slightly altered plot, but it retained the main themes and main idea/points from the first game. 
Here is the link to that script. Ive read it probaly 5 years ago, im surprised I was able to find it:

          Now, after I ranted about that, lets get back to Excella and why this shocks me. Excella, a character never seen before in RE except the latest, possibly has a role in the new film. Does this mean the movie is taking some type of "las Plagas" turn? Or are they butchering the Resident Evil world even more. I'd love to see this idea and how it'll come out. It just hurts me inside to see what they've done with such amazing games; the plot is there, the story is there. Think of it like this; You have peanut butter, Jelly, Bread and Dr. Pepper (a great mix i'd say) and you're told to make a meal, the end result (in this case, the RE movies), you mixed the peanutbutter and jelly with the soda, and dunk the bread.
