Report: First “World War Z’s” set gets raided in Budapest, and now 16 zombie actors injured on set of “Resident Evil 5”, what’s going on here?

There’s a bit of controversy happening at two different zombie films being shot now. The first, Brad Pitt’s “World War Z” zombie film is being filmed in Budapest and their set was raided by the Hungarian Anti-Terrorist Squad, because they are being accused of transporting real guns into the country. The film makers thought the guns weren’t working, but the Anti-Terrorist Squad, discovered they were working. Read the full story, here.

The second, the fifth installment to the, “Resident Evil”, series is being shot in Toronto. At Cinespace Film Studios in Toronto, 16 actors dressed as zombies were walking across a wheeled platform and the platform collapsed. Leaving all actors injured. Read the full story, here.

This is pretty crazy! World War Z set raided, people injured on “Resident Evil” set, Dead Island video game came out earlier this month, and “Walking Dead – Season 2” premieres this Sunday night. The world is being taken over by zombies. Maybe there is a zombie apocalypse on the way. BrrAAaaiinnnsss…

Resident Evil 5 thoughts…

So I’ve been playing the game “Resident Evil 5” for the past week or so. The game is pretty cool. The action is fun, but of course, so far, the game is kind of  a bit too simple to play. I’m playing this is on the “difficulty/hard” level of course. On every action/adventure game, I always play on the “difficult/hard” levels, because I feel that when you play the game on easy or medium modes, it gets me thinking that you’re not much of a pro gamer that some people make them out to be. If you want to be an expert game player, play the games on “difficulty” on everything you play.

This game got a lot of controversy in the media when it first came out ’cause of the racist material in it. The game is set in Africa where the two main characters, Chris and Sheva fight all these zombies that are mostly blacks. In the game, the black zombies will kill and execute human white people. I can understand why people think the game is racist, but there is racist material in almost all video games and movies these days.

It’s not okay to be a racist in real life, but in fiction storytelling whether it will be in video games, books or movies, it makes it okay. It doesn’t make you a racist for telling a story about it in fiction entertainment.

“Resident Evil 5” is a fun game though. I’m hoping to beat this game before the “Ghostbusters” game come out next week. I haven’t gone to the mall yet ’cause I’m waiting for “Ghostbusters” to come out, then I will go and pick it up. Maybe catch a movie in theater too if anything good is playing.

Report: Top 10 Controversial games of all times…

Grand Theft Auto IV maybe the most controversial video game of the year 2008, but you haven’t seen nothing yet. To those who are new to video games, there have been way worse controversial games, than “Grand Theft Auto IV”. Yahoo compiled a top ten list of controversial video games that created a strong negative public reaction but later became very popular.

I think this is a great list and they hit the nail on the head.

“Resident Evil 5” has just been announced for the PS3/Xbox 360. I don’t think there is an official release date yet but rumour has it, the game should be out sometime next year in 2009. The Resident Evil series has been a long time video game hit, a video game about killing zombies.

Read this cool interview with the game’s producer:

It’s about time there’s a new Resident Evil game! It’s been a long time coming. Looking forward to it.
