Paul W.S. Anderson Return to Direct ‘Resident Evil 4: Afterlife’
Typically I’d be excited to hear that the original director of a franchise is returning for more fun, but not in this case. Production Weekly broke the news exclusively this morning that Paul W.S. Anderson will get behind the directors chair to once again bring Alice back to the big screen in Sony Screen Gems’ Resident Evil 4: Afterlife. The video game adaptation that is said to head to Tokyo is scheduled to begin an 8 week shoot September 28th at Cinespace Film Studios in Toronto. Casting as it comes in.

New Line’s ‘Companion’ from ‘Barbarian’ Team Has Been Rated “R” for “Strong Violence” & “Sexual Content”
From New Line Cinema and producer Zach Cregger (Director: Barbarian) comes the upcoming sci-fi/horror movie Companion, which has officially received its “R” rating this week.
Companion has been rated “R” by the MPA for…
“Strong violence, sexual content, and language throughout.”
The film’s cast includes Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets,” The Boogeyman) alongside Rupert Friend (Separation), Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Lukas Gage (“You”), Megan Suri (It Lives Inside), and Jack Quaid (Scream, “The Boys”).
Described as a sci-fi/horror movie, Companion will mark the directorial debut of Drew Hancock, who also wrote the script. At this time, plot details are under wraps.
In other words, we have no idea what to expect from this one. Stay tuned for more.
BoulderLight’s Raphael Margules and J.D. Lifshitz will also produce along with Vertigo’s Roy Lee. BoulderLight’s Tracy Rosenblum and Vertigo’s Andrew Childs will exec produce.
