Now this is probably a complete coincidence, but reader Linh noticed something that was too fun to pass up. Check out this new still of Brendan Fraser from the upcoming Mummy film, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Remind you of anyone you know? Say ... Leon Kennedy of Resident Evil fame?
We know, we know, it's a stretch. And, yes, it's almost certainly the product of happenstance. That said ... finglerless gloves? Really?

Wow, and to be honest, Brendan looks exactly like Leon on that picture, in each and every way, including the hair... well, maybe not in the face, but he got me for a moment.
Now, I'm starting to wonder if there will be an Ashley look-alike actress on that new movie of his...?

Well, that's a step up from Devil May Cry 4, surely. That sees them stealing the design of one of their own characters for the SAME game. :D

I can't tell the diference between Dante and Nero... Except that one has a volcano and works at a conveinence store, and the other burns blank discs.

Finglerless? Wha?
Also, fingerless gloves *rock*. They've always been a staple of the Resident Evil series, and personally, I think they look awesome.

Yeah, they do. I remember I had a pair of those, and they are pretty comfy to wear, especially when riding a bike of any type. Unfortunately I lost them on a trip to Tijuana...

Except it's the same type, same color lining, same color exterior. Same gloves, same buckle (it changes in the game), same khakis, and same haircut.
Good job, Joystiq. This is not a coincidence. This was intentional.

Fortunately for her, she's probably busy making something that will be better than this.

Though I've never seen Eragon, I know it as fact that the movie was god-awful, but imdb says that she was only a voice, so she can only be penalized so much. And Constantine is probably a better movie than Mummy 3 will be.

To be fair, that style of bomber jacket is hardly unheard of. And Brendan Frasier's hair has looked like that in multiple movies before. I bet you can find shots of him in the first two Mummy movies where he'd look like Leon if he wore that jacket and the fingerless gloves.
Still, I can't answer why Leon wore those gloves, myself.

OT: Wow, with that haircut, Brendan Fraser looks exactly like Dwight from the Sin City comics! Clive Owens was still the better choice for the movie, though.
