Will DmC be like the Resident Evil movies?

Isn't that the opposite question?
They are based on two different franchises so they will be very different from each other. There is no reason to think they will have more in common that any two Hollywood action movies.
maybe it would easier if you gave us more of an idea of what you mean since your question is too vague.
On a sidenote, I feel that the classic DMC made into a movie might be similar to Resident Evil as things(canon) might be different from the games.
next time just say that.
The thing is, RE has a rotating cast of characters with a new lead every now and then so you could say there is no one central character that defines the franchise.
But with this series its Dante so no need to bring in a new character.
Tell that to Paul Anderson's treatment for castlevania that added a female main character who overshadowed Simon Belmont and was clealy written as a career vehicle for Milla Jovovich...
Might be a bad movie, like most RE movies. I found it to be very sudden, this movie announcement, so I'm not sure what to think.
To be fair, Lucia overshadowed Dante in dmc2 and most dmc stories had a supporting character that was the driving force of the story. Most of episodes of the anime were like that as the client of the week ended up overshadowing Dante so it wouldn't be that drastic a change.
I think it wouldn't be as much a problem if they avoided the pitfalls the Alice character of RE movies fell into, as in she was a Mary sue that was god-mode and stole elements from other RE main characters, they would just fine.
Maybe, Dante and Alice follow two similar trades. Both say "My name is Alice/Dante" and both begin their journey...naked.
Jokes aside, if you mean will the DmC film follow on after the Resident Evil films are done, I think that's very possible. There's only going to be one more Resident Evil live action film, and then that'll be it. Capcom will probably want to keep the game-to-film trend going with their games and will need something else to follow on once RE is done. That's probably why if there's a DmC sequel, they'll get it underway straight away, so a second game might already be out by the time a DmC live action is made.
I just hope it'll be good. Considering there's a lot more material to use than Resident Evil started with (being there were only a few cutscenes in the early games which were a couple of years old anyway. hence why the Resident Evil films often differ from the games plot) it's possible for them to pull something off. It all depends on how it's done and who they hire to play the roles.
I'd prefer it as a CG installment; would allow for much more creativity. In my opinion, Reisdent Evil Degeneration and Damnation were better than the live-action ones.
technically there is an alice character in DMC and it would be funny if they tap Milla Jollovich to play her older self and her daughter to play the younger self.
i think you could just have the VA's for the reboot reprise their roles for the DmC movie.
the second part of your question is tricky but doable but it depends on how you want to go about it.
Do you want to make the events of the classic series fit the reboot or do you want the reboot to fit the classic series?
