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.
