Following the announcement that Sony Screen Gems is producing Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth entry in the franchise, website Bloody Disgusting has continued its coverage of this project by talking with star Milla Jovovich about her role in the film. Confirming that the duplicity themes of previous Resident Evil features will continue, the actress had this to say:
“Let’s just say this. The clones are definitely in it. You’ve got multiple Alices kicking serious butt. And definitely the real Alice has some pretty major things happen to her that change the stakes a little bit. That’s probably all I can give you in a vague sort of way. It’s definitely going to be a different Alice than who we’re used to… There’s the clones and it’s going to be a lot of work.”
Following this plot description, Jovovich described her excitement about the project:
“I’m gonna be working every day for the next four months on this and it’s gonna be bigger than ever. It’s super-exciting.”
Resident Evil: Afterlife will be released in September 2010.

I’m thrilled: the interview says that (the great) Paul WS Anderson is employing the same 3D house that Cameron used for Avatar.
3D Zombies…how cool is that!
I’m looking forward this movie: the 3D move is a good one as the RE films have been constantly jibed at for having some mediocre CGI in the past but using Cameron’s team would indicate that Anderson, Bolt et al are taking the FX very seriously.
Really can’t wait for this one!

True!
Plus, the film can’t be even nearly as bad as Apocalypse… can it?
Apocalypse was the weakest one thus far which is disappointing – especially as it seemed (from the outset) to be the “fan-pleasing” one with Jill Valentine and so forth. But I think by the end of the first one, the movies were so outside of game “canon” that it was always going to be a claw-back exercise. And – what are you going to do with the Jill character other than have her playing second fiddle to the heroine, Alice?
Talking of claw-backs – any SFN forumite knows I’m a WS-fan (some would say apologist!), but Anderson has regained some kudos from the critics with his recent “Death-Race” – he’s not the hack that many purport him to be, and given budget and a degree of freedom, he produces good movies (I think they’re great movies but I enthuse, I enthuse…).
If they’re going to splash some cash on this, then there’s hope that this could be the best of the cycle. Hope, but no guarantees of course!
