So I'm not dead, and even better, I've got a present for y'all!
Biohazard: The Umbrella Conspiracy
Original film name: Resident Evil
New film name: Biohazard: The Umbrella Conspiracy
Studio: Screen Gems/Constantin/Davis Films
Edit crew: Aztek463
Original Runtime: 101 minutes
New Runtime: 94 minutes
Amount of time cut: ~9 minutes cut, 2 added
Intention:
I was going to leave the original Resident Evil alone until Biohazard took off. I started this over the winter, and finished it, but never got around to doing the DVD until now. The intent of this is the same as the original Biohazard: create a leaner experience with a quicker pace, fewer one-liners, less stupidity, and (hopefully) scarier. Yes, this is a prequel. Woo.
Cutlist:
It's been a while, but let's see...
DVD info:
NTSC DVD-5
16x9 Anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1)
5.1 Dolby Digital Surround
I've got the files uploading to MU presently, so that should all be squared away by tomorrow.

Cutlist:
It's been a while, but let's see...
- Shortened the lab sequence at the beginning so the killing starts right away. Makes the Red Queen more threatening.
- Cut Rain telling Matt to "Blow me." Rearranged a few shots to make the cut less awkward.
- Removed Rain reconnecting the train to the rails and subsequent references to it. The train now starts up immediately.
- Removed Rain grilling Spence and Alice.
- Removed "Accessing schematic of the Hive." Yes, we figured that's what you were doing.
- Removed "We have to take the stairs" after the team discovers the busted lifts.
- Moved Rain's "Poor bastard" and the corpse in the water coming back to life. Let's keep the zombies a secret just a bit longer, eh?
- Made a few trims to the laser hallway.
- Cut Spence arguing with Kaplan after the door to the hallway is opened.
- Removed "Bitch isn't standing now."
- Cut Rain's pause before she opens fire, same with Kaplan.
- Removed Kaplan's "We're never gonna get out of here."
- Removed any instances of the dogs staring at Alice. They see her, they attack.
- Removed the music "flush" or something after Alice kills the last dog.
- Removed the zombie trying to attack Matt through the window.
- Cut Matt's "The illegal kind [of research]" when Alice asks him about Umbrella's experiments.
- A few trims to the conversation about being sealed in the Hive.
- Cut Rain freaking out when the Red Queen is activated.
- Made a few trims to the subsequent exposition dump.
- Removed "After you" before going into the sewer (call it what it is).
- Removed Rain taunting the zombies with her bleeding hand. We now go right from her killing J.D. to the group crawling on the pipes.
- Edited the escape in such a way that it now looks like Kaplan did kill himself - makes his reappearance later more of a surprise.
- Made a few trims to Spence's flashback to get rid of references to stuff I had cut earlier.
- Removed "I'm missing you already."
- Cut Rain's "Your boyfriend's a real asshole."
- The Licker attacks Spence almost as soon as it sees him.
- Removed the second instance of "I'm missing you already" from Alice.
- Removed Rain grabbing the gun and such. The Licker attacks the train before she does so.
- Removed Matt hesitating before he shoots Rain.
- Cut Alice telling Matt he's infected. Really?
- Removed the shadowy figure walking by the window in the lab at the end.
- New credits music: "Army of Me" by Bjork and "Zombie" by the Trucks.
- Post credits Easter Egg!
