Game embodiment
When the company changed Elsa Walker to Claire Redfield, the character's biography also underwent certain changes. If in the initial plan it was a student who goes home after the holidays, then the character who replaced her is the sister of the protagonist of the original game.
Claire Redfield kept Elsa's appearance for herself, having received an unforgettable appearance: a girl with dark hair, a jacket with a popular image for wartime pilots (an angel girl and air bombs) and a gun in her hands.
According to the plot of the second part of "Resident Evil", Claire meets a young police officer Leon, whose last name is the same as that of the President of the United States of America - Kennedy. Two heroes of the second part go on a dangerous journey around the city so that Redfield could find her brother Chris.
The game explains Claire Redfield's ability to wield firearms by the fact that they often trained with his brother. Judging by the second part, the exercises came in handy for the girl.
However, the city is dominated by zombies and is subject to destruction. To survive and successfully continue their mission, Claire and Leon are trying to leave Raccoon City. When they succeed, the girl decides to return to the city and find her brother, this is the epilogue of the second part of the "Hermitage", in which the heroine is mentioned.
In other projects, if the character appeared, it was not as central, but basically added facts to a story already familiar to the players or was a multiplayer hero.
Fifteen years in the game world there was no biographical continuation of the character. It was suggested that Claire Redfield intended to destroy the corporation by breaking into the Umbrella branch in Paris.
Last fall, the protagonist returned to the full-fledged game Resident Evil: Revelation. Part two". However, the fans did not welcome the new look of the heroine very cordially. In a new adventure, the developers showed us a 32-year-old woman who works for a large company to combat biological terrorism.
It is from this company that a group of military abducts Claire and the daughter of Burton (the character from the original game), after having lulled them with gas. When the heroine comes to, she discovers that they were placed in a prison on an island.
Joint rescue fails, and Moira Burton stays on the island.
Despite falling from a great height, Claire manages to survive and in the fourth episode of the game she rescues survivors on the island.
By the way, in the last game of the series Claire is very similar to Ada Wong.
Cinema and actress in the series
At the moment, there are six films on the series of computer games "Resident Evil", in which the main role was played by the Hollywood star Milla Jovovich. True, through the efforts of the director there is no direct connection between games and cinema.
As far as we know, in the game series there is no character of the "star squad" Alice White, who became the central character in the movie series. However, there are some heroes from the game version of "The Abode" - Claire.
In the feature film "Resident Evil" in the role of Claire Redfield, actress Ali Larter. Prior to that, she starred in well-known projects:
1) "Destination";
2) "Destination 2".
Directly in the game movie series, Ali was seen in the third, fourth and sixth parts of "The Abode". How similar is a character to a game prototype? The similarity is only related to brother Chris. The appearance of the character is completely unique and there are practically no similarities with the original.
The appearance of the actress in the role of Claire Redfield, whose photo will be a graphic appendix to the article, resembles the original sister of Chris.
The most successful in the film was the embodiment of Valentine and the second part of the movie saga.
A bit about franchising
As you know, fans met cool not only the "Resident Evil". Many projects, when transferred to the big screen, lose the chronological sequence of the story itself. How successful this tendency will be in rewriting game scenarios, we will see very soon. In 2016, the world will see a number of film adaptations of the famous computer series.
