Movieweb are reporting that Sony Pictures have September 2012 in mind for Resident Evil 5 (which has yet to receive its colon title) and Milla Jovovich is set to reprise her role of ex-Umbrella employee Alice, yet again.
There’s also a 3D animated sequel to the 2008’s Resident Evil: Degeneration, due in cinemas the same year as the forth live-action sequel. Really??? The extended shelf life of this series is astounding. The first was hardly a huge money-making hit to warrant an almost decade-long run, but it’s obviously from the number of films that it’s a sound money-making enterprise (and DVD sales undoubtedly boost the numbers up too).
No word yet if twice director and overall godfather of the franchise, Paul W.S. Anderson, will be calling the shots this time around. That may depend on the success of his new version of The Three Musketeers (due for release in the UK 14th October this year).
Soon this franchise is going to have move movies than the Rocky saga and that bums me out. I thought Jovovich was mad when she tied herself to the original project and thought it a completely crazy idea to be making a horror movie from such a slow paced gaming experience. Guess I was wrong. The films themselves have been getting gradually less tolerable and a little more crazy each time, like they are trying to see how much audiences will take before finally giving up. Apparently, that limit still hasn’t been achieved.
I know the Films are not in the same universe as the Resident evil vidio games, like if they were this would be like Re 5 the movie from the game. Also I have a strong feeling that, this will be the last one – as I hope so.
If it is I hope some one will make films as a repilica of the games with like Claire as the main lead heroine and character. As we’ll love that if it happens.
The producer who’s married to Milla – said in an interview that the 5th one will be the last one, as he was supprising Milla that they’ll be five. Also maybe a prequel, which he can have 6 of them – which is good and I know some one is going to make some ones, which are the repilica of the games – with a lead game character in them, which is cool for the fan’s. What do you think ?
