Resident Evil IV Movie Coming
I know I’m going to offend some Resident Evil fans when I say this, but let me make my case before you crucify me. I think the Resident Evil movies were the best video game movies so far. I’m well aware that they weren’t faithful to the actual plotline. There’s an incredible amount of inconsistencies, but when you ignore the specific details the spirit and general plot motivation remains the same, with Umbrella being a shadowy corporation conducting secret research for their own ends, the ultimate repercussions to the rest of the world be damned.
They also featured a ton of action sequences that were a delight to watch and a refreshing propensity for killing off characters. There must be some people out there who enjoyed the films as much as I did, because next year we’re going to see the fourth chapter of the game adaptation. Apparently an internal memo circulating in Sony’s offices says that they’re excited to get Resident Evil: Afterlife in theaters by September 17th 2010. Paul W.S. Anderson says he probably won’t be back to direct, but Milla Jovovich will likely reprise her role as Alice, especially when you consider this is likely the most profitable film series she’s done in some time.
