Exactly one year ago we heard that director Paul W.S. Anderson was talking to Sony about making a fourth Resident Evil film. Resident Evil: Extinction tripped it’s budget so i’m sure it didn’t take much convincing, and now we have word that it may have a title, Resident Evil: Afterlife, and that it may be released next year.
From ShockTillYouDrop:
Late last year, Paul W.S. Anderson revealed he was indeed writing another film. Capcom was getting involved. Everyone, as he said, was “excited.” Well, we’ve just learned from a studio insider that Sony is looking to get Resident Evil: Afterlife into theaters by September 17, 2010. That’s according to an internal memo circulating through the offices there.
Will Anderson direct? Unsure. Will Milla Jovovich be back? I think it would be safe to say yes considering the last entry ended on – SPOILER ALERT – Alice clones getting ready to seek revenge on the Umbrella Corporation which was holed up in Tokyo.
If they are indeed looking at a September 2010 release date then we should be hearing more developments over the upcoming weeks and months.
