Production Begins on ‘Resident Evil: Afterlife’
Screen Gems and Constantin Film announced today that Resident Evil: Afterlife has begun production in Toronto, Canada. Resident Evil: Afterlife is the fourth Resident Evil film but the first to be shot and released in 3-D.
“The Resident Evil franchise has successfully entertained audiences around the globe and we are pleased to bring yet another installment to fans with the same creative team, but this time in 3-D,” Screen Gems’ President Clint Culpepper said.
Most of the key actors from the Resident Evil franchise will be reprising their roles. Actress Milla Jovovich returns as the zombie-fighting heroine Alice. Ali Larter reprises her role as Claire Redfield from Resident Evil: Extinction. Spencer Locke, who played K-Mart in Extinction, is also set to return.
New to the film franchise is leading man Wentworth Miller (Prison Break), who has signed on as Chris Redfield – Claire’s brother and a popular character from the game series. Shawn Roberts will take over the role of Alice’s nemesis Wesker. Boris Kodjoe and Kim Coates have also been cast.
Filmmaker Paul W. S. Anderson who wrote, produced and directed the first 2002 Resident Evil film, returns as writer, director and producer. Anderson also wrote and produced the sequels, Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) and Resident Evil: Extinction (2007).
Anderson offered a small glimpse of what can be expected in the new film:
Alice’s battle with The Umbrella Corporation isn’t finished. Last time we saw Alice, she let them know she was coming after them. It’s time to settle the score.
Resident Evil: Afterlife is expected to hit U.S. theatres August 27, 2010.
