MTV’s Movie blog is reporting that director Paul W.S Anderson is considering the possibility of returning for a fourth instalment in Sony Pictures highly successful Resident Evil movie franchise.
Anderson, who directed the first adaptation of the Survival Horror series in 2002 and subsequently went on to produce it’s two sequels, revealed, “I’m just starting to talk to Sony about it.”
“I don’t even know if anything will come of it, but there’s a possibility it might happen.”
Despite his enthusiasm for the franchise, Anderson was keen to point out that the right script would have to be in place in order to pursue the project, adding, “I love the ‘Resident Evil’ franchise and we always try to make the best possible movie we can. If we could find a good ‘Resident Evil 4’ to make, then we would do it.”
“But I wouldn’t just do it for the sake of it, that’s for sure,” he said.
Aside from his involvement in the Resident Evil series, Anderson previously worked on the film adaptation of Mortal Kombat in 1995, and is currently lined up to direct the forthcoming Spy Hunter movie.
An all-new CGI motion picture, Resident Evil: Degeneration, is currently scheduled for release some time in 2008.
