Spot the cameos in these Resident Evil: Retribution 3D TV spots

David Hinkle — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 06:00:00 EST

There are a pair of new TV spots for Resident Evil: Retribution 3D today, the fifth entry in Paul W.S. Anderson's series starring his wife, Milla Jovovich. But rather than snicker at what is sure to be a cheesy flick, we'd much rather play Spot the Cameos[TM] for the new recruits.

There's Barry! Hey, look, Michelle Rodriguez!

Resident Evil: Retribution brings back Alice, adds Barry and Leon

David Hinkle — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 22:00:00 EST

If you're anxiously awaiting the next Paul W.S. Anderson Resident Evil joint, we've got to ask: "Why?" We can't imagine anyone is dying to see another one of these trainwrecks (in 3D again, no less!), but if you are, some new details on Bloody Disgusting may interest you. Milla Jovovich will reprise her role as Alice in the next film, which now has an official title: Resident Evil: Retribution. Her husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, will once again direct.

Resident Evil: Retribution currently has a tentative release date of September 14, 2012. Sienna Guillory, who played Jill Valentine in the second film (and made an appearance in the last movie), will return, she has said on Twitter -- though BD says that role is being recast. Also, according to BD, Barry Burton and Leon S. Kennedy will both make appearances in Retribution.

Filming for Resident Evil: Retribution will begin in October.

Jovovich: Another Resident Evil movie is 'definitely' coming

Griffin McElroy — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 18:00:00 EST

Filed under: Weird But True, Opinions, New In Pop Culture

Paul W.S. Anderson's latest installment in the Resident Evil film franchise, subtitled Afterlife (or in most technologically-endowed theaters, Afterlife 3D), took home top honors in last weekend's box office ranking. What does this mean? Well, it means we're angry at a lot of America for not going to see Machete -- but, according to lead actress Milla Jovovich, it also means we can expect to see yet another movie chronicling Alice's beef with the Umbrella Corporation.

"This new Resident Evil is the first one to ever open at No. 1 worldwide," Jovovich recently told New York magazine. "It's the biggest movie in the franchise. So we're definitely going to make another one." She goes on to ask that fans of the series send suggestions for the next film to her Twitter page, which also contains much needed, step-by-step instructions on how to properly pronounce her name. Thanks, Milla!

Rumor: Sony plans to follow Resident Evil: Afterlife with reboot Resident Evil: Begins

David Hinkle — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 23:15:00 EST

According to BloodyDisgusting, Sony already has plans for a fifth film following 2010's Afterlife -- which jibes with what we heard back at Comic-Con. However, instead of signing on Jovovich to reprise her role as Alice for films beyond Afterlife, the studio is supposedly planning to reboot the franchise and go back to the beginning of it all.

The fifth film is tentatively titled Resident Evil: Begins, and would apparently follow ~~Bruce Wayne's ascent as Batman, guardian of Gotham City~~ a special military unit that battles a super computer within a complex chock full of the undead. So it'll basically be the first movie again.

Next Resident Evil movie will be in 3D, will spawn new film trilogy

Griffin McElroy — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 21:00:00 EST

Anyone who's seen one of the live-action films based on Capcom's Resident Evil franchise are aware of how in-your-face the movies' terribleness tends to be. However, horror film news site Shock 'Til You Drop recently got a terrifying piece of news from producer Paul W.S. Anderson at San Diego Comic Con -- the next film in the series, titled Resident Evil: Afterlife, will be presented in 3D. We're thrilled about the stereoscopic Jovovichian action -- we're somewhat less enthusiastic about the bump in ticket prices that'll come about to provide the necessary eyewear.

Anderson went on to explain the film would kick off an entirely new trilogy of Resident Evil films, saying he regards it "as a re-tooling and rebirth of the entire franchise." We know what you're thinking -- does this mean the films will finally remotely follow the plot of the games? Oh, don't be silly. It's Anderson, man.

Rumor: Resident Evil returns to the silver screen in 2010

David Hinkle — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:44:00 EST

According to Shock Till You Drop, the Resident Evil movies are getting a fourth installment in Resident Evil: Afterlife. A supposed internal memo at Sony Pictures seems to point to a September 17, 2010 release. Of course, this isn't the first time we've heard about a fourth Resident Evil movie, so we're considering this rumor fairly credible.

Do we really want another Resident Evil movie, though? Hasn't Milla Jovovich beaten up enough zombified dogs and dudes in rubber suits?

Some details scared up on next Resident Evil movie

Alexander Sliwinski — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 12:59:00 EST

If the sweeping epic of Resident Evil: Extinction had you chomping at the neck for another installment, JoBlo.com has some details from a "very reliable source" about the fourth film in the franchise. Auteur Paul (insert consonants here) Anderson has written the screenplay, but won't direct. The screenplay is more like RE2 (the film), but with, ahem ... "better dialogue." There's speculation that they may need to bring in a martial arts choreographer for all the hand-to-hand combat. Finally, Extinction's creature effects guy is back, with Jurassic Park 3's special FX supervisor coming on board.

Once Milla Jovovich commits to playing Project Alice again, the producers will look for a director. Filming will take place in Tokyo and Toronto, with the Canadian capital (it's not? well, it should be) filling in for Alaska. For those not following the movies, Alaska may be the last refuge for survivors. How do we know so much about Extinction? Don't blame us, it's available for free on X360's Netflix.
