Resident Evil movie director to branch in to videogames?

Film director Paul W.S. Anderson has expressed interest in branching in to videogames at some point in the near future, in addition to continuing his work on movies.

Anderson, who been at the helm of many game-movie adaptations over the years including Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil, told the chaps at MTV: "In the future I want to be developing intellectual properties that will occupy both spaces simultaneously.”

"I’ve been actively involved in the gaming world for 15 years now, talking to developers ever since ‘Mortal Kombat’, so I think I have a very good appreciation for what their needs and what their concerns are. I think I really do know how to join the two medias together in a successful way, and that’s what I’ll be working on in the next few years."

Anderson is currently working on the fourth Resident Evil flick, titled RE: Afterlife, which is pencilled in for release in early 2011.
