Jill Valentine Readies for ‘Resident Evil 5’ Action!
Teased at the end of Resident Evil: Afterlife, Sienna Guillory confirmed on Twitter that she’ll be returning once again as the illustrious Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 5.
“RE:5 alert! Training begins! I aim to mostly put less in the big hole on the front of my face than comes out of the little one on my arse,” she stated.
The biggest part of this news is that this basically confirms that Sony Screen Gems is moving ahead with a sequel, as opposed to the eventually-planned reboot using the working title Resident Evil Begins.
There is still no director attached, nor word on Milla Jovovich returning as Alice, but Sony has slated the 3-D sequel for release on September 14, 2012.
