Two more Resident Evil movies planned

German production company planning fourth film before third even begins production; Milla Jovovich to reprise role.
When the eponymous first film based on Capcom's Resident Evil games hit theaters in 2002, it was a moderate success. Though largely panned by critics, the medium-budget sci-fi horror thriller did well at the box office, earning under $40 million. Its sequel, 2004's Resident Evil: Apocalypse, did even better, pulling in just over $50 million.


Hoping to wring more money from the franchise---the second-highest-earning game-based film series, after Tomb Raider--the production company behind the Resident Evil films has plans for two more. Today's Hollywood Reporter reports that Germany-based Constantin Film AG is already laying the groundwork for a fourth Resident Evil movie. Little is known about the film other than it will take place in Tokyo and it will be shot on location in Japan.

The move is surprising, given that shooting hasn't begun on the third chapter in the series, currently titled Resident Evil: Afterlife. Indeed, according to the reporter, Afterlife is in the midst of a shake-up, with the recent announcement that production is moving to Australia.

No director has signed onto Afterlife, which is based on a script written by British director Paul W. S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Alien vs. Predator), who directed the first Resident Evil. Though she hasn't signed a contract yet, Anderson's wife, supermodel-actress Milla Jovovich, is reportedly set to reprise her role as Alice, the series' gun-toting heroine.

Still haven't seen the 2nd one.

The headquarters of Umbrella in that movie is City Hall in Toronto. It blows up. A guy I know who works at Toronto 1 station said his crew showed the clip to the mayor. He was surprised.

Ah well, who cares, Netphoria's days are numbered, kinda like Racoon City's.

don't. if it comes on tv throw yourself out of the neerest window. if a window isn't nearby, it would be wise to gouge out your own eyes.

AWESOME!! I really loved the first one. The second one was kinda crappy but I still enjoyed it. They could have spent a few more bucks on that nemesis guy, he was stupid. When the hell are they releasing RE with alternate ending, I've been putting off buying it.

Milla Jovovich is the only reason to care about this
