Resident Evil: Aferlife will be filmed in 3D, will have the largest budget of all the Resident Evil films to date, and will be the first in a new Resident Evil trilogy.
The news comes from writer and now confirmed Resident Evil: Afterlife director Paul W.S. Anderson who spoke exclusively with ShockTillYouDrop.com at the San Diego Comic-Con.
“I always envisioned Resident Evil as a trilogy of films,” he said. “And we’ve been very lucky where it’s a trilogy where the audience has built and built. I wanted to kick off a brand new trilogy. I’m really excited we’re doing it [in 3-D] and we’re using the same camera system [James] Cameron used for Avatar. There are a lot of exciting things about this one. I don’t regard it as Resident Evil 4, I regard it as a re-tooling and rebirth of the entire franchise.”
Milla Jovovich will also be reprising her iconic role as Alice.
Resident Evil: Afterlife will hit theaters September 17, 2010.
Two weeks ago we unofficially learned that Resident Evil 4, titled Resident Evil: Afterlife was in development. Star Milla Jovovich also hinted filming was likely to start at the end of 2009 and Shock Till You Drop reported that Sony were aiming to release it in theaters on September 17, 2010.
Coming Soon have now confirmed the above release date noting also that Production Weekly have reported the new film has been locked into an 8-week shooting schedule at Cinespace Film Studios in Toronto. Filming appears set to begin September 28th to a script penned byResident Evil writer/producer Paul W. S. Anderson.
A director has not yet been announced.
There have been three Resident Evil films to date. The third film, Resident Evil: Extinction, managed to haul $145M worldwide which from a budget of $45M made it a clear winner. So despite reports that Extinction was the final chapter it comes as no surprise to hear that plans are underway for Resident Evil 4.
According to a report on Shock Till You Drop, Resident Evil: Afterlife will be the title and Sony are aiming to release it in theaters on September 17, 2010.
This isn’t an official announcement since the news was leaked by an unnamed studio insider. For the moment we’ll have to chalk it up as rumor. It is however a good rumor that will no doubt be validated in due course given Resident Evil writer/producer Paul W.S. Anderson raised the possibility of the film at last years Comic-Con and yesterday star Milla Jovovich confirmed to paparazzi that filming on Afterlife would start at the end of 2009.
You can watch her confirm the fourth movie and how cool she is having to deal with the paparazzi getting in her face below:
