I was kind of optimistic after hearing that Jill, Carlos, and S.T.A.R.S. would be in Apocalypse, but I'm afraid I've learned more than I care to know...
Alice (Milla) has become "genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive."
UGH. Not only that, Jill is described as "a recently demoted member of Umbrella Corp’s elite Special Tactics and Rescue Services (S.T.A.R.S.)".
So Jill worked for Umbrella and she and Carlos have to depend on a Alien Resurrection-style bullshit Alice. And if that cosmetic commercial trailer has anything to do with the storyline, I'm not going anywhere near this trainwreck.
Oh yeah: Link Here

Now now now, lets not be too hasty.
First of all, I wouldn't buy into that synopsis thats on the site. It was probably written by some 'professional' PR people who don't have experience with the movie or the games.
As for Jill being a demoted member of STARS, that could have happened. The original RE story (from the games) never really says anything. Jill and the remaining STARS members report to the authorities on Wesker and the incidents at the Spencer mansion, and the fiasco (which involved of over half of the STARS team) could have caused authorities to demote Jill and the other STARS member. The thing is that some creative license was taken, and that isn't bad. Let them do it.
Also, let them change up Alice as well. It'll be an interesting twist to the story.
Reserve judgement till you see the movie, at least...

In the movies, STARS is an umbrella owned / operated unit. All the military people who died in the movie were STARS.
In the games, STARS is not in league with Umbrella.

This is incorrect. According to the original movie's website, the team that went into the hive was called "Special Operations" (http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/residentevil/ , enter the flash site, wait for the Red Queen to appear, then access "Special Ops." Follow instructions). It was not, I repeat, NOT STARS. No where in the movie did the team members refer to themselves as STARS. Heck, even the patches they wear on their shoulders don't even hint at being STARS. Photos from the movie set of RE2 confirm this (observe the truck with the STARS insignia from the game).
Besides, the synopsis is probably incorrect like I mentioned before. Just wait until the movie comes out. That's the only way we'll know for sure. Until then, hold your judgement.
