* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[NightOfTheLivingDead George A. Romero]] wrote [[http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/resident_evil_romero.html a screenplay]] for and was to direct the first film. It was thrown out entirely when he was kicked off the project. Capcom thought that, while Romero's script was close, it wasn't a full adaptation of the game, and they believed fans would complain about the changes while newcomers would dislike the premise. But confusion sets in when they approved Paul W. S. Anderson's script even though it's a much, ''much'' farther cry from ''Resident Evil''. For instance, Romero's script followed the first game and included all of the main characters, while Anderson's was a completely original story that featured all new characters, and whose only connection to the games was Umbrella, the T-virus and the zombies! Admittedly, there were a few head-scratch-inducing changes in the Romero script (Chris, for example, was turned into a Native American civilian who lived in the mansion and was dating Jill), but all in all, it felt like ''ResidentEvil''.It just seems funny that Capcom denied the script for a Resident Evil movie by George A. Romero considering the series is more or less a homage to Romero's work.

** LJ was originally supposed to be played by ''Snoop Dogg,'' rather than Mike Epps.

** Do Jill ([[TheOtherDarrin in RE3]]), Claire and Annette sound kind of familiar? What if we threw the names [[Series/{{X-Men}} Jean Grey, Jubilee and Mystique]] at you?
** Claire's voice actress also, in the 1990's, portrayed Loonette the Clown on ''The Big Comfy Couch.''

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original versions of ''[=RE2=]'' and ''[=RE4=]'', known as ''Resident Evil 1.5'' and ''3.5'' respectively. Both versions were scrapped due to the developers being unsatisfied with the direction they were taking.
** An even earlier version of ResidentEvil4 got retooled into DevilMayCry.
