Resident Evil: Afterlife

Was Apocalypse THAT Much of a Success That TWO More Sequels Are In The Works?
Resident Evil 4 Already in the Works

June 13, 2005 - According to today's The Hollywood Reporter, Germany's Constantin Film and its genre production company, Paul W.S. Anderson and Jeremy Bolt's Impact Pictures, are preparing for a fourth installment of their successful "Resident Evil" franchise before the third film in the series has even begun shooting.

Constantin head of production Martin Moskowicz said that the third film, Resident Evil: Afterlife, will shift locations to shoot in Australia, with principle photography planned for November or December.

Resident Evil 4 will be set in Tokyo, and Impact/Constantin is looking to shoot the film in Japan. "Afterlife" will be set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun with mutant zombies. The film will play in the Nevada desert with the Aussie outback standing in for the American wasteland. In the final reel, the action will shift to Japan, setting up the fourth edition.

Milla Jovovich is set to reprise her signature role as Alice though no formal deal has been signed yet. Paul W.S. Anderson is finishing the script for the third edition. He directed the first Resident Evil and wrote the sequel Resident Evil: Apocalypse.

I liked both of them but I never played the games. I know almost all the plots in the video games cause my friend is totally into Resident Evil. He hates Alice and the fact that the movie didn't stick to the game as well.

Personally I thought would be kinda hard to make the movies like the video games, because the games had all those odd fights with giant sharks or mutant plants in the bottom of mansions. The movie just seems like it was easier to understand the way it was. Of course the Project Alice thing was just confusing.

*Waits to get flamed by die hard Resident Evil fanboys*

Well I for one am an RE fanboy that thinks the movies have done a REALLY shit job at portraying the games. I even tried looking at them from a different perspective than just thinking "this is meant to be the games Resident Evil" and at that point I realized the movies aren't too bad, BUT THEN it occured to me that why the *bleep* would I try to NOT look at these films as Resident Evil? They're based on the damn games afterall, and they've completely *bleep*ed up the RE Universe. You CANNOT take something as huge as Jill defeating Nemesis that is a STABLE PLOTLINE to the RE Universe and change it around to make your MADE-UP character suddenly fall in love with the monster while he fights ALONGSIDE Jill! Crap like that is just wrong. Anderson *bleep*ed this series up. I know we're meant to look at it "as something entirely new" but I think if a REAL writer got the rights to this movie, then NOT ONLY would we NOT have to look at it as something new, but it would probably have been a lot cooler too.

This 4th movie... I don't even want to think about it...

Well I played several of the games but I still watch the movies as movies not as games which is what you lot seem to want. Movies and games can never be really similar without being poor adaptions.

I like how they havent felt the need to stick to the games story so much.

The first 2 movies were pretty good I thought, I enjoyed them but that may be because I am a fan of zombie movies in general.

So are they trying to pull off some George Lucas sh*t by releasing the 4th movie before the 3rd? Maybe it will work out better if they do.

I have a nuetral opinion on the movies. They are good movies, but they are nothing like the game. I could go on and on about it...but I'm choosing not to.

Old bumps ftw.

No Fourth Resident Evil
Source: Sony Pictures December 15, 2006


About a year-and-a-half ago, it was reported that Constantin Film and Impact Pictures had already started work on a fourth "Resident Evil" before the third installment, Resident Evil: Extinction, opening September 21, 2007, had even started shooting.

As the new synopsis for "Extinction" indicates, that is no longer the case. The plot summary for "Extinction" labels the film as "the third and final installment."

Oh FFS i saw the 2nd one last night.

What a *bleep*ing poor film, i must have blacked out at certain parts of the games involving kung-fu fighting against zombies and flying around, nemesis going good and the utter cockyness of it.

I hate it!

OH GO NOOOOOOOO!
