Paul W.S. Anderson’s long rumored horror flick Resident Evil: Afterlife has now officially entered production, reports website ShockTillYouDrop.

According to a statement issued by Screen Gems and Constantin Film, the fourth installment in Anderson’s screen adaptations of the Capcom zombie franchise sees the return of sultry Milla Jovovich as super-charged undead slayer Alice, alongside fellow RE: Extinction cast members Ali Larter (Claire Redfield) and Spencer Locke (K-Mart).

New faces this time around include Wentworth Miller of Prison Break fame who steps in to Chris Redfield’s shoes, as well as Boris Kodjoe and Kim Coates. Shawn Roberts, meanwhile, will inherit the perpetual shades of blonde-haired antagonist, Albert Wesker (formally played by Jason ‘O Mara).

Anderson will direct once again, having penned the script and plans to shoot the film in 3D. “Alice’s battle with The Umbrella Corporation isn’t finished,” he teased. “Last time we saw Alice, she let them know she was coming after them. It’s time to settle the score.”

Resident Evil: Afterlife will arrive in theatres some time in 2010.

    I didn't think the Resident Evil movies were too bad. However I do reserve that Resident Evil, and Resident Evil: Apocolypse were the greater of the four (I'm yet to see Degeneration, so I can't really pass judgement).

    @2 - Degeneration was made by Capcom thenselves and is actually pretty good. But the action based films are a monstrocity (no pun intended). First one wasn't too bad I must admit, but the remaining two were WTF moments. Jill Valentine was a wuss, Nemesis went too goody too shoes. The acting was crap, the bullet-time was pointless, the plots were unbelievably bad, I'm amazed they're making a fourth.

    The only good thing that came out of the films is seeing Milla in the buff.

    Miller as CHRIS REDFIELD????

    Doesn't fit at all. At least if his acting skills are no more than those shown on Prison Break.

    Hopefully that won't be the case...

    Anyway, all RE movies sucked...

    1st resident evil film was pretty good, had lots of room to expand upon and make a good series, but my god they screwwed it up from there.

    i hate the movies i hate the director i hate everything about the movies this one will suck hard hopefully the last movie because they are destroying a classic franchise with these stupid and idiotic movies i hope this one fails hard and shoves the director of a clown out the door.

    RE: Extinction was pretty bad, but I did like Resident Evil Apocolypse mainly because of Nemesis

    They are OK if not taken too seriously.  I loved the first one but the rest were only OK; but I'd rather see them complete the story than leave it as is so I'm glad they are making a 4th movie even if it's barely OK.

    The 1st 2 movies where somewhat acceptable but the 3rd film was total GARBAGE!!! The film adaptions have done really bad at the box office,so can someone tell me where they keep on getting the cash to make these poor film versions of RE..??

    they suck the director has made capcom a laughing stock of the gaming world. i asked my friend about if he liked the resident evil movies he said in his own words "OH GOD NO they were terrible films and shoud never ever been made" i agree face it they were terrible no body can dare say they good as the franchise which they are'nt they are utter crap  and i am hoping this one fails which is (likely) and there is no way in h#** they will ever be succesful they need to give the f*** up and stop mocking capcom.

    I loved the first, and the third, I saw the second few hours before the third, I was in a rush so I didn't really fully enjoy it.

     

    Can't wait for this one.

    I actually liked the movies :) Their not "wow" movies but they are entertaining.

    In my mynd, RE1 was the best, RE2 sucked (Due to jill and nemesis) And RE3 was exactly how i would except a post apocolyptical world.,

    Im lookin forward to seeing this move :)

    This movies are great. People are saying they suck can f**k off. Even if they don't correspond to the video game series appropriately, they are still good movies, well worth the viewing.

     I didn't have anything against the first 2 but I didn't like 3 at all, jill the little girl were just gone for no apparent reason, the world was essentially already over so why were they fighting umbrella? For those of you who say the scripts were bad and the ideas were to over the top or stupid, I think it worked fine for the type of story it was trying to tell. I think most people see a movie and if it isn't a 100% scene by scene representation of the game they declare it bad instantly. I never got this because if knew what was going to happen before I sat down to watch a movie why would watch it? I think the source material should be altered to a point to make a different story. Again though to those who say the writing is so bad, I want you to close your eyes sit back and think about the plot of the video games themselves, don't play the games just think about the stories and then think about the movie scripts. I love them but the source material wasn't exactly shakespeare to begin with.

    The RE films actually improved when Anderson stepped aside from directing duties.  Event Horizon is his best fim to date, and other films he took the helm for were a waste of time at best.

    i thought the movies were ok.  it was a little dissapointing that they didnt follow the games though.  still worth the watch.  ive seen worse movies.  Max Payne being one.  So take it easy on the Resident Evil series.

    the first and second were good.
