UPDATE:

Actress Milla Jovovich has divulged that filming for the fourth Resident Evil movie will commence at the end of 2009.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE:

Film enthusiasts Shocktillyoudrop.com have got wind that Sony Pictures is aiming to have Resident Evil: Afterlife in theatres on September 17, 2010, citing info obtained via a ‘studio insider.’

Some of you may recall director Paul W. S. Anderson mentioning late last year that he was in the process of working on a script for the long rumored zombie sequel, which will supposedly be set in Alaska and Tokyo. Anderson also divulged that Capcom was getting involved with the project.

Little else is known on the film, including whether or not Milla Jovovich intends on reprising her role as virus-enhanced zombie slayer Alice. Given the conclusion of RE: Extinction, though, we reckon there’s a high probability.

Stay tuned for more information as it breaks.

    resident evil are great games @4 if you don't like them then don't comment on the article!

     

    i was hoping for another CGI movie since i always get disapointed with the live action ones.....

    fist fighting NEMESIS?!? come on... thats just ridiculous

    • 5:11pm BST - July 2nd, 2009

     yes, the so called movies are blasphemy to the games.

    CGI or nothing.. 

     

    and yes, fistfighting Nemisis had me wanting to throw up.

    Not all that bothered, but will probably go see it or more likely get it on DVD.

    Like some other people said I'm more interested in the Silent Hill 2 movie, though it will probably be a terrible adaptation that will annoy me and give me no entertainment.

    But hey, if I didn't do stuff like that I'd have stopped gaming about 2 years ago :p

    I actually like that fact that they don't go with how the game is. I watch the movies to see somthing different. Think of it as a bounus cut scene LOL.

    • 5:35pm BST - July 2nd, 2009

    The problem is that they NEVER (NEVER) make movies for fans. They are always written by people that saw 2 screenshots of the games and adapted to suit the taste of the general public.

    @ 8

    on DVD ... how can you buy anything on DVD when you can watch it on BLURAY

    anyways the first movie was alright it was good .  the second one was $hit the third one had milla and Ali Larter So ,,,, the movie was great for me :)

    As films they are ok .

    As Resident Evil, they are a bit of a let down.

    I don't really care about that movie since all previous 3 were an insult to the resident evil franchise the story have absolutely nothing to do with resident evil what so ever have played all the games and read all the books believe me it has nothing to do with the crappy adaptation of the films . It's not because you take some base info in the game like the virus name  and name of the compagnie who made it and put some zombie in it , that it's a resisdent evil.

    The movies aren't great, they're enjoyable enough to watch if you want mindless action film. I queation the need to do another one but the previous ones have done well at the box office, thats aso film studios look at these days, not the quality of the film.

    #1 i concur. Althought the movie arent very good, because im a follower and fan of the resident evil franchise, i'd still watch the movies.

    really only liked the 1st one. Too much action, not enough thrills

    Let's see how much more they molest biology compared to the third one! Maybe the T-Virus will turn into a giant fighting robot this time.

    Mila Jovavich is a awful actress and even worse plays the heroin-e in a movie that should most likely have a male lead. Named Chris Redfield or Leon Kennedy. I absolutely hate movies with butch rambo-chick women. Women kicking @$s is as believable as 3 Ninjas or Ninja Kids. It's ok though the other movies ruined any possibility of a good film being made. Every single RE movie should be a direct to video or SciFi Channel  release along with the other garbage.

  23. Sonan | Sonan

    • 7:21pm BST - July 2nd, 2009

    Lolwut? I've seen Milla Jovovich called many things, but "butch" is absolutely the furthest-from-the-truth thing you could ever call her.

    • 7:41pm BST - July 2nd, 2009

    I love the movies. Cant wait for this. @4 your opinion isn't a fact and if you really fell asleep from boredom on the games you probably like garbage games like for 5 year.

  25. Wolf873

    • 7:42pm BST - July 2nd, 2009

    Oh no. That's unfortunate as these movies have never been good, except for the first one. Please just reboot the whole thing and start afresh with characters from the actual game and not made up. I hated how the whole movies focused on Alice, and how the main characters of the game were reduced to nothing such as Jill and Clair...rubbish. To top it off, they turned it into an action flick. The CGI movie, even though not that good, was still loads better than these films.

    I agree with first poster though, release a new Silent Hill movie, loads better RE movie and they were true to the source material than Paul Anderson.

    Live action Resident Evil films are not good. Resident Evil Degeneration is the best out of all.

    • 8:30pm BST - July 2nd, 2009

    the1st one was good, two went down hill but is funny though that the show that movie a cazillion times on the oxygen network...lol i guess something about having a female superhero empowers women...jus saying 0_o...and the third was jus a giant ball of poo and mix ups, I mean three movies to get to finally show the first games final boss? Cmon...I for one will not watch this next one...if is like the first...na not even. They should jus leave it a three and jus make a short 15 min movie about how umbrella jus nukes the entire world and sterilizes the entire planet...end of story....blah.

    Best Beginning , Alice gets a monster headache slips into a coma and dies. I think Leon is more BA than Chris anyway

     The first 2 where great, but the 3rd film sucked.

    • 12:07am BST - July 3rd, 2009

    I'm with you @33, also I was dissapointed by degeneration, I thought it would of been better than the other RE movies!

    • 5:08am BST - July 3rd, 2009

    Please just let the movies die. As a fan of Resident Evil, I thought the thrid move was just another zombie movie, which happens to have name Residen Evil, but nothing to do with the games.

    Why not make MGS movie instead? Now that would be great. However, if Anderson makes it, it would no doubt be a bag of poo just like every movie that he made recently.

    I reckon if what is said is true, about capcom being on board this time, then maybe it will turn out good? Oh I also loved the other ones so yeah :)

    The Live action RES movies were nice but i just cant take anymore seing a stupid female model character that as powers like a super saiyan or something.I just want a SURVIVAL HORROR movie not a stupid action kids movie!!

    I dunno, this is going to be crap.

    HEY GUISE! Here's an idea!

    Instead of making a crappy movie, make a decent game

  42. MassiveKrabs | RealMadrid88R9

    • 2:35pm BST - July 3rd, 2009

    @35 NO! Last thing anybody wants is for a crappy live action interpretation of MGS to taint that legendary series' name! NO! We all now that Games about Movies SUCK! Then why would Movies about Games not suck...is just the way it is...and @41 Resident Evil 5 was more than a decent game, it was a great one.

  43. Wolf873

    • 4:21pm BST - July 3rd, 2009

    Well Milla is coming back, bringing the crapiness with her.

    • 5:39pm BST - July 3rd, 2009

    Little may be known about the movie PLOT, mut, at least imo, MUCH is already known...in particular the fact that this will suck just as much taint as the other 3 films.  Seriously they had NOTHING to do with the Revil series other than a few names and the fact that zombies were involved.  Why they fired George Romero is beyond me.  Doesnt make sense that "Hey...we're making a zombie game based heavily on the Romero movies" was followed by "yeah we have Romero working on the movie but lets fire him and make the movie suck futuristic balls instead".

  46. PSU_fail

    • 6:19pm BST - July 3rd, 2009

    Yeah, I have no desire to see this after they twisted the franchise beyond recognition.  Paul W.S. Anderson directed the first film only I believe, he only wrote/produced the 2nd and third.

  47. Sonan | Sonan

    • 6:48pm BST - July 3rd, 2009

    I'm glad they fired Romero. I loved his old movies but Land of the Dead was sub-par and the last thing Resident Evil needs is some socialist undertones and commentary.

  48. doomsday666

    • 11:17pm BST - July 3rd, 2009

    this movie is going to suck saw the first three they were boring as h***

                     stick to video games instead of doing lame a** adaptions of them leave them alone

  49. XAversionX | aVeRsioN_X

    • 4:29am BST - July 4th, 2009

    I think the movies are okay, nothing like the games obviously.. Looking forward to 4.. and hopefully the LAST.

  50. RallenR87

    • 7:31am BST - July 4th, 2009

    i agree with 1, another rs movie is sweet and all from a gamers point of view but a silent hill 2 movie would be way better imo

eXTReMe Tracker
