Confum cafeina, multa, din Coca-Cola sau cafea. Insa nu il consider un drog. -
Pot spune ca da, dar prefer sa fiu eu lejera, asa ca nu e neaparat o regula.

A Resident Evil live-action series is coming to Netflix. After years of speculation, firm details have finally been coming out about the new season which is expected on Netflix over the next year or so. Here’s everything we know so far. Resident Evil is the upcoming Netflix Original series based on the Capcom game of the same name. The franchise that launched in 1996 has spawned numerous video game sequels, novels, and a popular movie franchise. Netflix is seemingly going all-in on Resident Evil with this live-action series and at least two animated projects too, the first of which was announced as Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness. Constantin Film is also currently working on a live-action movie that’s due for theatrical release in 2021. Netflix themselves didn’t actually post anything official regarding the live-action series until August 27th, 2020. That’s when they published the first details via the NXonNetflix account. What is the plot of Resident Evil season one? The series was first reported on back in January 2019 according to Deadline. The following was said about the plot of the upcoming Resident Evil series; “The drama series will explore the dark inner workings of the Umbrella Corporation and the new world order caused by the outbreak of the T-virus. While the project is in early stages, the series is expected to incorporate all of Resident Evil’s signature elements, including action sequences and easter eggs.” In early 2020, Netflix’s Media site listed an official story description for the series (although it has since been removed). Here’s what the description said: “The town of Clearfield, MD has long stood in the shadow of three seemingly unrelated behemoths – the Umbrella Corporation, the decommissioned Greenwood Asylum, and Washington, D.C. Today, twenty-six years after the discovery of the T-Virus, secrets held by the three will start to be revealed at the first signs of outbreak.” Now, in December 2020, we can expand further on the plot. The story takes place over two timelines. The first of which involves 14-year-old sisters Jade and Billie Wesker moving to New Raccoon City. They come to realize that their father may be concealing dark secrets that could destroy the world. The second timeline takes place over a decade in the future, where only 15 million humans remain, with over 6 billion animals and people being infected with the T-virus. It follows Jade, now thirty, in her efforts to survive in this world. In the script that was posted by NXonNetflix in August 2020, we know that episode one is called “Welcome to New Racoon City”. The episode is written by Andrew Dabb and directed by Bronwen Hughes (The Walking Dead). Andrew Dabb is helming the series. His previous credits include Supernatural for The CW. This caused some initial concern surrounding the tone of the first season but at this point, it’s too early to tell. Now, in December 2020, we can expand further on the plot.

Production Status: Filming Scheduled: Initial pre-production was due to take place in April 2020 before the main shoot between June and October 2020. As you can probably guess, those plans were thrown out after COVID-19 ravaged any and all production schedules in 2020. A new date of February 2021 was reported, but that has since changed as well. Production Weekly is now reporting a new film schedule which is set to begin on September 8th, 2021, and end on December 14th, 2021. These dates apply to the “British Columbia Unit” which is in Vancouver, Canada. The series is also filming in Cape Town, South Africa. Lance Riddick has announced to be playing Albert Wesker, but we’re still waiting to learn what the roles of the remaining five cast members are.

Most nights around 10 p.m. when her family heads off to bed, Carol Holaday signs onto her computer. She's not falling down Internet rabbit holes of random information or combing through social media at her San Diego home. Holoday is signing on to volunteer with the subtitle translation of Korean TV shows —often referred to as K-dramas— on the streaming platform Rakuten Viki. “It's my secret treat,” said Holaday, who has helped to subtitle 200 titles for Rakuten Viki, commonly just called Viki. Viki has both original and licensed content from Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan and subscribers around the globe. Its largest audience is from the U.S., 75% of which is non-Asian. It offers a tiered subscription, or limited content is available for free with ads. The translator program enlists volunteers from beginners to contributors designated as gold status based on the quality and quantity of their contributions. Holaday, who doesn’t speak Korean, is an editor of subtitles. She looks at portions of video that have already been translated to English and checks the grammar, word placement and spelling. Besides translators and editors, there are also “segmenters” who separate portions of video to be subtitled, so one person is not translating an entire episode. Another proud, qualified contributor is retired attorney Connie Meredith. She even enrolled at the University of Hawaii to study Korean to become a better translator. “The grammatical structure is so different from English that it’s really, really difficult,” said Meredith, who has worked on more than 500 titles for Viki. She said translating a 10-minute segment can take about two hours. “It’s like a hobby to me. People say, ‘You’ve done that much for free?’ And I say, ‘Why not?’ I have nothing better to do with my time. And it’s like doing a New York Times crossword puzzle for me, to solve the puzzle of language.” Makoto Yasuda, Rakuten Viki's chief operating officer believes using a crowd-source method for its subtitles only helps with accuracy. "If you have hundreds of people contributing to the quality of subtitles, then it becomes much better than a single professional translator working on the topics that they are not really familiar with.” He says the company's name Viki is derived from the words video and Wikipedia, the crowdsourced online encyclopedia site. “Sites like Viki use fan translations, which is great, but it can be done in a hurry because people are anxious to see the dramas. So it’s probably not as polished as you might get elsewhere,” said Joan MacDonald, a Forbes contributor who covers Korean media. Viki translations aren't just to English. “A drama can translate into 20 different languages within 24 hours,” said Yasuda. He said there's also often waiting lists to help translate on more popular shows. There are a small number of translators who do get paid, if it's on a show that doesn't have volunteers or a licensed series that already has subtitles. The awareness of K-dramas outside Korea seems to be growing, said MacDonald. “The number of people that contacted me in the last year and a half to say, ‘Oh, I just discovered K-dramas, what do you recommend?’ It’s significant.” Other streaming sites are also adding more Korean content to their offerings. Apple TV+ has two Korean language projects in the works: one based on the animation series “Dr. Brain,” and an adaptation of Min Jin Lee’s novel “Pachinko” about four generations of a Korean immigrant family. That series will be available in Korean, Japanese and English. This year, Netflix is investing nearly $500 million to produce Korean content and has partnered with big studios there including Studio Dragon and JTBC. Some of Netflix's popular 2020 series included “ Start-Up, “ It's Okay to Not Be Okay," and “What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?” Another that caused a sensation is “ Crash Landing on You ” starring actors Hyun bin and Son Ye-jin. The romance about a North Korean and South Korean aired on the paid channel tvN in South Korea and also on Netflix. Fans found their chemistry so believable, many believed there had to be a real relationship off-screen. The actors’ representatives confirmed they were dating on New Year’s Day. MacDonald laughingly recalls hearing the news of the coupledom and thinking, “Wow, I am irrationally excited about this.” Streaming services have made television more globalized where it's easy to watch a show from another country, but MacDonald believes one reason for the popularity of K-dramas is because they blend genres like K-pop does. “It’s kind of an overall thing like pop is not really one sound. A lot of things fit into it. You will have something like a horror, rom-com that starts out as a gangster story but it’s really a black comedy that keeps changing genres all the way through." MacDonald says K-pop fans also gravitate to K-dramas because “a lot of K-pop stars are in dramas and a lot of actors that are in dramas sometimes go on to have singing careers.” “There's a band that's very popular, Astro, and one of the singers, Cha Eun-woo, was in a drama earlier this year called ‘True Beauty,' said MacDonald. "I saw ‘True Beauty’ and thought, ‘Wow, he is great and he’s in a band. I have to check that band out.’" Another example: Bae Suzy, formerly of the girl group Miss A, starred in “Start-Up." Sara Wagner of South Lyon, Michigan, grew up surrounded by Korean culture because her best friend of more than 40 years is Korean. “I would hang out at their house a lot and eat Korean food. ... With the internet, it became a lot more accessible to watch dramas.” Wagner also believes “Parasite” winning best picture at the 2020 Academy Awards increased interest in Korean cinema. “People ask, ‘What else would you recommend' and I say ‘Train to Busan’." She even keeps an Excel spreadsheet tracking K-drama storylines, themes, featured food, weather and endings of the shows she watches so she can recommend them to others. A note by Wagner for “What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?” says: “There's a kiss in episode 12 that'll knock your socks off.” sources
