Resident Evil 4 (film)

 * Delete This movie turned out to be nothing but vaporware, since according to ComingSoon.net, the studio aren't even sure whether they're going to produce a fourth film. Source:http://comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=13115 Jonny2x4 19:15, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Screen Gems has announced the film way back in 2005, stating they will have distribution rights in America, Australia and Asia. If the film was scrapped wouldn't Screen Gems announce it to the public by now? Empty2005 08:06, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * "Please do not remove or change this AfD message until the issue is settled", like it says in the tag, okay? --Calton | Talk 05:56, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: No. They never officially announced a fourth film, only the possibility of doing one. There's no concrete plans on doing a fourth film and everything in this article is nothing but speculation and gossip. It's the same reason why every single article on Batman Begins 2 gets deleted.

 * Keep. Even in the absence of an official announcement, it seems fairly clear that there are well-established and credible plans and expectations for this movie to be done. The article states (I'm assuming truthfully, until someone changes it) that "Producer Paul W. S. Anderson has signed onto the project and may write the script", so obviously there is at least a hypothetical project within the studio for him to sign onto. And if nothing else, it appears that the plans themselves for this movie are notable enough for an article (i.e., the article can be about present plans and verifiable reports instead of about a nonexistent future movie). –Sommers (Talk) 21:53, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Even in the absence of an official announcement... Bzzt. Game over: unverfied crystal-ballism. --Calton | Talk 05:58, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball."
 * Delete Crystal ballage -- Ruby  23:18, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep anounced films to do not fall under "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball". savidan(talk) (e@) 00:35, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The crystal ball objection is not for the announced film, but for if and when it will be announced. --  Ruby  04:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep sounds notable. --Ter e nce Ong 05:03, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pure crystal-ball: in Hollywood, nothing is settled until the cameras begin rolling and sometimes not even then. See Development hell. --Calton | Talk 05:56, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. If they haven't even confirmed if they'll make the film, that's crystal ballery at its finest. -- Kinu  t /c  06:14, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Sonys has confirmed possible creation of the film as the script details of Extinction still stand to lead into the forth film. If the plot details have changed for the third film somebody please provide a source, otherwise the film is still in early pre-production stages. P.S. why was this article was nominated twice for deletion when you cant even prove the film wont be made? Empty2005 08:08, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * ...when you cant even prove the film wont be made? You've got it precisely backwards: you need to prove it IS being made. And your use of weasel words isn't doing that. --Calton | Talk 08:24, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
