Well, we already knew that Milla Jovovich was going to be back as Alice in the latest installment of Resident Evil, but it turns out she won't be the only comely Zombie-hunter back in the mix. In an interview with Boris Kodjoe (Surrogates), the actor told Blackfilm that he has been hired to star alongside Wentworth Miller and a returning Ali Larter (reprising her role as Claire Redfield) in the latest installment of the zombie-action franchise. Kodje first announced his new job on his twitter account, and so far has been pretty chatty about the production. Not only has he confirmed that Paul W.S. Anderson will be directing (possibly in 3-D), but he also gave us a few juicy plot details. According to the actor, Afterlife will center on Alice, "...roaming the world looking for survivors and she's wound up in LA, which has been burning for three years. She comes across an LA jail surrounded be these half-dead, uhh... [Zombies] Anyway, she comes across the jail and there's a couple of survivors and she lands on top of the roof and partners up with me to fight the guys that are coming after them. We're trying to get all of the survivors out of the jail to safety." When asked about Miller's role, Kodje told Blackfilm that the Prison Break star will be, "...playing a guy that we actually locked up when we took over the jail because we weren't sure if he was one of them or not. He comes into play as we try to find a way to get out with our survivors" -- and I guess if you need a guy to engineer a jailbreak, Miller is really the only logical choice.
Resident Evil: Afterlife will start shooting in Toronto in the next couple of weeks, and is scheduled to arrive in theaters on September 27, 2010.
Resident Evil Ends With Three

From time to time, my friends and I get into the old "why can't the world create a good video game movie?" discussion. This invariably leads to a general reminiscing of all the video game movies which exist, with a fair amount of chuckling and cringing. Eventually, someone will say "well, Resident Evil wasn't awful." We all nod and agree until someone else points out "yeah, but it wasn't good, either." It may not be particularly bad or good, but it certainly has been persistent, working on knocking out a full trilogy worth of films. There were even early reports of a fourth film underway pseudo-simultaneously with the third film, shooting prior to the cinematic release of the third. Turns out, though, the team is tired of Resident Evil (and really, who can blame them?), and is in fact calling it quits with a trilogy. We're now being told Extinction will be the final film -- who would have guessed, with a name like Extinction? Shame, that. If the video game series is any judge, the fourth would have been hands down the best in the line.
