Paul W.S. Anderson Talks 'Resident Evil 4' Possibilities

It's not all that shocking after the success of Sony Screen Gems' Resident Evil: Extinction, which took in $150 million worldwide at the box office, that there is now talk of getting a fourth RESIDENT EVIL film off the ground. MTV caught up with writer-director-producer Paul W.S. Anderson who reveals that there might possibly be another adaptation in theaters, read on for the skinny and let us know what you think? Where should the fourth film take us?

“Resident Evil: Extinction,” the third video-game to big screen adaptation in the popular series will likely not be the last, Anderson said, although talks for a fourth film are still in the very earliest stages of development.

I’m just starting to talk to Sony about it,” Anderson confessed. “I don’t even know if anything will come of it, but there’s a possibility it might happen.

He continues...

I love the ‘Resident Evil’ franchise and we always try to make the best possible movie we can. If we could find a good ‘Resident Evil 4’ to make, then we would do it,” he said. “But I wouldn’t just do it for the sake of it, that’s for sure.”

YES! Bring it on. I loved the first one, the second was lacked something, but the third one! OMG, the third one blew the first two out of the water. One request, bring Ali Larter back!

I would like to see a movie based on the RE4 storyline, that would be cool.

I agree with djdeathwish, I would also like to see the resident evil 4 game made into a movie. That would kick ass.

I thought it was obvious. An army of Alices attack Japan. RE3 was one of the stupidest movies I've seen in a while. It was fun to watch and mock once, so maybe 4 will be the same.

they should definitely move it away from the storyline they have and focuse elsewhere for the time being and hello! look at Resident Evil 4: the game the name says it all

The 2nd and 3rd are disasters. I liked the first one but I don't see a fourth turning around the franchise. If the last two made money then they are just going to keep making crap.

How about a big HELL-NO! First off, Paul Anderson has to be the worse director. He raped the whole series of Resident Evil. Personally, how the Batman series was revamped, I think the Resident Evil series should go into that direction and stay true to the games. I'm talking story line right by the book. FUCK PAUL ANDERSON. HE'S TRASH!

I rather replay my Resident Evil games than watch PAUL'S SORRY ASS VISION.

i'm SO psyched! they DEFINITELY should have Alice in this again (prt 3 pretty much made that a given). it would be cool if they cast Jensen Ackles as Leon, and kept Ali as Chris. also i remember reading that Anderson wanted to continue the Alaska storyline. "zombies in snow" or something like that. that'd be awesome!

oops, i mean keep Ali as Claire and cast Jensen as Chris. sorry!

There's no doubt that these movies are bad, but there's something I like about how trashy and over the top they are. It is a total sham that Romero got booted off the original project. What was Sony thinking? It's a good job Resident Evil: Degeneration is in the works, it should please all the fans looking for something more true to the games. In the mean time I'd happily sit through another one.

Oh, come on. This is the weakest zombie franchise ever.

I liked the first one. The second one was cool until the stupid as fuck, weak-ass ending. I haven't seen the third but I didn't have much interest. As far as the forth; in video game series, they typically get a little better each one. In movie sequels, they typically get worse each one.

They should end the series with a 4th movie. Claire should be the main character.

Awesome, Resident Evil is awesome,10 times better then the game,Apocolypse was ok,but if paul was basing the movies from the games hes wacked, there was nothing similiar! Milla is Great noone can do a movie like her. Ali Larter was kinda blah in Extinction.A 4th installment would be great if they follow with the first 3 films. AND NO ASHANTI OR NICK CANNON OR MIKE EPPS,they destroyed the movies! they cannot act worth a shit

I don't mind. They need to finsih the story they started it annoys me when people make a cliffhanger and don't continue from that point. I really like the first one the 1:85 aspect ratio and the script is not bad for a prequel to the game, the 2nd film was a mess. The diting sucked and it should of been tweny minutes slower paced. The 3rd was great fun.

Personally I think all the people who are like "Make one that goes along with the exact storyline of the game" are asking for trouble. The first one was good because it didn't follow an existing storyline, it just fed into one. I mean, if it was the exact game storyline it would be so fucking boring! You'd already know exactly what was going to happen. They should have just stuck with the original idea: stories in the same universe that are tied to the games, but not copies of the damn games (just look at RE:2).

Just don't use the Alice Clone Army storyline. Thats all I ask.

A movie version of RE4 would be awesome. I thought the game was one of the best yet.
