In an Australian television first, Foxtel Movies presents box office hit franchise Resident Evil on a dedicated pop-up channel, available to Foxtel Movies and Foxtel Platinum subscribers from 6.00am on Australia Day through to Sunday, January 29.
The epic movie marathon will feature all five films in the legendary sci-fi action series, running back-to-back and in order, launching with Resident Evil(2002) right through to the most recent installment which broke box office records worldwide, Resident Evil: Retribution (2012).
From a blockbuster game franchise to the highest-grossing film series to be based on a video game of all time, the Resident Evil brand has secured its place as one of pop culture’s most enduring icons.
Foxtel Movies are excited to bring the five hit movies to the small screen in support of the theatrical release of the latest film in the series, Resident Evil: Final Chapter on January 26, as well as the release of the Sony’s new virtual reality video game, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, on January 24.
The pop-up channel follows on from Foxtel Movies’ enormously successful pop-up channels in 2016, including the Star Wars, Harry Potter, Fast and Furious and 12 Days of Christmas pop-ups.
More information on the five movies airing on the Resident Evil pop-up channel is as follows:
Resident Evil (2002)
Something rotten is brewing beneath the industrial mecca known as Raccoon City. Unknown to its millions of residents, a huge underground bioengineering facility known as The Hive has accidentally unleashed the deadly and mutating T-virus, killing all of its employees. To contain the leak, the governing supercomputer, Red Queen, has sealed all entrances and exits. Now a team of highly-trained super commandos including Rain (Michelle Rodriguez – The Fast and the Furious, Girlfight), Alice (Milla Jovovich – The Fifth Element) and Matt (Eric Mabius – Cruel Intentions) must race to penetrate The Hive in order to isolate the T-virus before it overwhelms humanity. To do so, they must get past the Red Queen’s deadly defenses, face the flesh-eating undead employees, fight killer mutant dogs and battle The Licker, a genetically mutated savage beast whose strength increases with each of its slain victims
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
After narrowly escaping the horrors of the underground Hive facility, Alice (Milla Jovovich) is quickly thrust back into a war raging above ground between the living and the Undead. As the city is locked down under quarantine, Alice joins a small band of elite soldiers, led by Valentine (Sienna Guillory, Love, Actually) and Carlos (Oded Fehr, The Mummy Returns), enlisted to rescue the missing daughter of Dr. Ashford, the creator of the mutating T-virus. It’s a heart-pounding race against time as the group faces off against hordes of blood- thirsty zombies, stealthy Lickers, mutant canines and the most sinister foe yet. Written and produced by the visionary director of Resident Evil, Paul W. S. Anderson (Alien vs. Predator) and directed by Alexander Witt, Resident Evil: Apocalypse is a superior sci-fi suspense sequel
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Milla Jovovich is back to kill more zombies in the third chapter of the hit Resident Evil franchise! An action/horror film filled with huge special effects and edge-of-your-seat terror! Survivors of the Raccoon City catastrophe travel across the Nevada desert, hoping to make it to Alaska. Alice (Jovovich) joins the caravan and their fight against the evil Umbrella Corp
Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
The fourth installment of the hugely successful “Resident Evil” franchise, “Resident Evil: Afterlife” is again based on the wildly popular video game series. In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, Alice (Milla Jovovich), continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend. A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead takes them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive the city is overrun by thousands of Undead – and Alice and her comrades are about to step into a deadly trap
Resident Evil: Retribution (2012)
The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington DC, and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun
The Resident Evil pop-up channel will be available in HD* to Foxtel Movies and Foxtel Platinum subscribers on channel 400. Channel 400 is now home to a series of hugely popular and exclusive pop-up movie events.
Movies in the franchise will also be available to subscribers when and where they want, both live – and on demand with an internet connected iQ box.

The smart pot that waters your plants when you can’t!
Parrot Pot is a smart pot that automatically waters your plants while measuring and analyzing the parameters critical to their growth.
Parrot Pot takes care of everything:
It automatically waters your plant when necessary.
It regulates your plants water consumption when you are away.
It advises on the maintenance of your plant.
Connected via Bluetooth Low Energy to your smartphone or tablet, Parrot Pot allows you to visualize and take action via the dedicated app, Parrot Flower Power!
“For several years, Parrot has been working towards a better understanding of plants and how to use sensors to anticipate their needs. Indeed we too often hesitate being surrounded by plants and fear they will perish, or to acquire a plant we don’t know or one we know is fragile,” explains Henri Seydoux, founder and CEO of Parrot. “Parrot Pot answers these fears. Parrot Pot sensors and smart irrigating system, together with the database we’ve built with botanists and scientists enable you to perfectly handle the maintenance of your plants, some being quickly affected by excessive watering, some being very sensitive to the lack of water.”
Available in October at MSRP AU$229.99 / NZ$249.00

Parrot Pot waters your plants
Parrot Pot is a wireless autonomous pot for indoor or outdoor use and is designed to resist difficult climatic situations (rain, heat, cold… from -5°C / 23°F to +55°C / 131°F).
It is equipped with a 2.2L water reserve and with an irrigation system with four separate jets, for consistent watering of your plant.
From the Parrot Flower Power app, you can choose the watering mode desired for your plant:
‘Perfect Drop’: The right quantity of water, at the right time.
Parrot Pot autonomously manages the watering of your plant, and automatically adapts according to its needs. After several cycles Parrot Pot understands the needs of your plant and your plant will always receive the right quantity of water at the right time.
This automatic watering mode is optimal for the growth of your plant.
‘Plant Sitter’: Go on vacation without worrying about your plant!
Parrot Pot regulates the consumption of its water reserve in order to ensure up to one month of watering, without needing intervention from you.
The watering is adapted to maintain your plant’s good health while you are away.
‘Custom’: You’re the expert!
You define the rhythm of automatic watering and the level of moisture of your plant.
Three parameters will need setting in the application:
Trigger threshold for watering (in soil moisture rate)
Target threshold after watering (in soil moisture rate)
Time, in number of hours, before watering is triggered (after the threshold for watering is reached).
‘Manual’: you decide!
You start watering with a click in the Parrot Flower Power app. Your Parrot Pot flashes green when the reserve is empty.
Good to know: When the Parrot Pot is not linked to the Flower Power App, it still autonomously manages the automatic watering by applying the median parameters that are appropriate for the majority of plants.
Parrot Pot understands your plants
In real time and with precision thanks to four sensors, Parrot Pot measures data essential to the good health of your plant including:
soil moisture,
fertilizer,
ambient temperature,
light intensity.
These data points are recorded every fifteen minutes and transmitted (every two hours) to the Parrot Cloud for analysis by algorithms.
Advice and alerts specific to your plant are sent via the Parrot Flower Power app to help you keep it in good health, especially when your plant needs immediate attention.
For example, Parrot Pot helps you to gain a better understanding of when more fertilizer is needed, or when your plant needs to be moved for optimum light.
Parrot Flower Power app: your gardening assistant
Parrot Flower Power, a free application for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, enables you to manage the watering of your plant, to verify the parameters linked to its growth and to visualize the level of the Pot’s water tank.
Parrot Flower Power app also gives you access to rich content and expert advice for the maintenance of plants.
A botanical encyclopedia of 8,000 plants
You select the plant to be monitored from a library of 8,000 plants. Each plant has its own ID card which includes photos, origin, basic needs, practical advice and recommendations (for example a recommended type of fertilizer).
Scalable and regularly updated this plant database has been developed with botanists and scientists, notably the Laboratories of Wageningen University in the Netherlands, to advise and help you optimize the growth of your plant.
Your connected garden accessible in a flash
The Parrot Flower Power app can manage up to 256 Pots at the same time!
It displays all your plants managed by a Pot allowing you to consult in real time their individual data by clicking on the icon corresponding to each parameter, which will appear in green (all is well), orange (to be monitored) or red (immediate action needed).
When opening the app, the list of your connected plants appears. You will be able to see which ones are ‘nursed’ by a Parrot Pot or monitored by the original Parrot Flower Power wireless sensor.
Resembling a dashboard, the application enables you to act on your plant’s parameters, like triggering an instantaneous watering for example, or defining/modifying the plant’s irrigation mode.
Fertilizer, ambient temperature and light intensity are represented in the form of gauges;
Soil moisture is represented with a transparent cross-section of the Pot, which also enables you to check the quantity of water remaining in the reserve.
Parrot Pot: Tested by universities and research centre’s
In order to ensure the greatest reliability of the Parrot Pot, its sensors as well as the adapted and automated watering, Parrot called upon universities, botanists and scientists, notably The Research Centre of Wageningen University in the Netherlands and the Centre of Urban Horticulture at Washington University in the United States, so that they could collaborate with Parrot engineers and subject the Pot to real and extreme conditions.
150 Parrot Pot were tested over different periods of time according to the criteria to be studied. Tomato, basil, olive tree, lemon tree, and the Benjamin tree were among the plants that took part in the tests.
Parrot Pot is for you!
Whether you have a green thumb or you are a plant neglecter looking to learn, Parrot Pot is made for you!
It offers fully automated management of your plants or on the contrary an interactive, knowledge-building experience with the ‘custom’ watering mode and access to the precise data via the Parrot Flower Power application.
Parrot Pot provides:
The possibility to let nature enter your household or workplace when you wouldn’t have necessarily imagined it before.
An ultra-technological object that enables your plant to communicate with you, and you to understand it.
Assurance to keep the plants you love in good health, even the most fragile ones, when you are away.

First steps with your Parrot Pot
Install your plant.
First remove the central part (soil pot) of the Parrot Pot and remove the tab to activate the 4 AA batteries that are already inserted.
To repot your plant:
Put soil in 1/4 of the Pot.
Note: The botanical encyclopedia available in the Flower Power app can give you advice on the appropriate fertilizer for your plant.
Put your plant on the soil, in the center of the Pot, vertically.
Fill the empty parts with soil (do not put soil above the “Max” mark).
Warning! Make sure you compound the soil correctly in order for the plant to be correctly held and for the water to spread well.
Fill the water tank (2.2 L max).
Pot blinks green until the water reserve is filled and stops when it is.
Tell your Parrot Pot the plant it will monitor.
Download the free Flower Power app on your iOS/Android smartphone or tablet.
Create a plant:
Enter the common or scientific name of the plant and then indicate if the Parrot Pot is inside or outside.
If you don’t know its name a ranking by plant popularity or simple questions about its characteristics will help you identify it.
Activate Bluetooth and associate the plant with your Parrot Pot.
Go about your business… Parrot Pot takes care of everything.
Parrot Pot sensors start recording data after 15 minutes of activation. (The first analysis will come after 24 hours.)
Thanks to the app and Parrot Pot’s knowledge of the plant it is taking care of, it will be able to precisely adapt the watering to the plant’s needs and give it the right quantity of water at the right time. The Parrot Pot will also be able to analyze the crucial factors for healthy growth of the plant in order to provide you with astute and appropriate advice and recommendations.
Good to know! If the Pot is not linked to the app, it will be able to manage the automatic watering of your plant by applying the parameters which are appropriate for the majority of plants. When the level of the water reserve becomes low, a green indicator blinks on the Pot.
When the level of the water reserve becomes low, a green indicator blinks on the Parrot Pot and a notification push is sent via the application to the smartphone/tablet in close proximity.
It blinks red when there is a problem: slowly when batteries are low, quickly if there is a problem in the watering system.
