Just got home from the Alice in Chains show, sorry for the delay, but below you'll now find the official release. Production has officially begin in Toronto, Canada for Screen Gems and Constantin's Resident Evil: Afterlife, which is to be directed by Paul W.S. Anderson from his own screenplay. The international release it confirms that Milla Jovovich will return as Alice, with Ali Larter returning as Claire Redfield and Spencer Locke (Monster House) as K-Mart. Boris Kodjoe, Wentworth Miller, Kim Coates (Silent Hill, Skinwalkers) and Shawn Roberts (Diary of the Dead, Skinwalkers) also join the cast. The fourth installment is to be released in 3D on August 27, 2010. No story details were revealed, however it's rumored to take us to Tokyo. Fingers crossed on that.
Screen Gems and Constantin Film announced today that “Resident Evil: Afterlife,” the next installment in the widely successful “Resident Evil” film franchise has begun production in Toronto, Canada. The fourth film, which will be shot and released in 3-D, is a first in the “Resident Evil” film franchise. Most of the key creative players, who turned the “Resident Evil” film franchise into a global phenomenon, will be reprising their roles in “Afterlife”.
Actress Milla Jovovich returns as the zombie-fighting heroine Alice. Ali Larter reprises her role as Claire Redfield from “Resident Evil: Extinction”. Spencer Locke, who played K-Mart in “Extinction,” is also set to return. New to the film franchise is leading man Wentworth Miller, who has signed on as Chris Redfield – Claire’s brother and a popular character from the game series. Shawn Roberts will take over the role of Alice’s nemesis Wesker. Boris Kodjoe and Kim Coates have also been cast.
Filmmaker Paul W. S. Anderson is back in his triple threat capacity as writer, director and producer. Anderson wrote, produced and directed the first “Resident Evil” (2002) and wrote and produced the sequels, “Resident Evil: Apocalypse” (2004) and “Resident Evil: Extinction” (2007). Producing alongside Anderson are the same creative minds from the three previous films: Anderson’s longterm producing partner Jeremy Bolt, Constantin Film’s Bernd Eichinger (writer and producer of the Oscar®-nominated films “The Baader Meinhof Complex” and “Downfall”) and Robert Kulzer, and Samuel Hadida. Rounding out the “Afterlife” producing team is Don Carmody, also a producer on “Apocalypse.” Martin Moszkowicz and Victor Hadida are again executive producing.
“It is tremendously exciting to bring a new chapter in the ‘Resident Evil’ saga to life with such a talented group of actors and filmmakers,“ said Kulzer, who produced the upcoming sci-fi horror flick “Pandorum” with Anderson and Bolt. “It gets better every time.”
Anderson offered a small glimpse of what can be expected in the new film: “Alice’s battle with The Umbrella Corporation isn’t finished. Last time we saw Alice, she let them know she was coming after them. It’s time to settle the score.”
Screen Gems’ President Clint Culpepper noted, “The Resident Evil franchise has successfully entertained audiences around the globe and we are pleased to bring yet another installment to fans with the same creative team but this time in 3-D.”
Based on the massively popular “Resident Evil” video game series by Capcom Entertainment, the “Resident Evil” films are part of a global brand that also includes books, merchandising, DVD collections and more.
ScreenGems will distribute “Resident Evil: Afterlife” in the U.S. and Sony Pictures will distribute in certain select foreign territories. ScreenGems previously handled U.S. distribution of “Resident Evil”, “Apocalypse” and “Extinction”. Constantin Film will retain all German-language rights. Metropolitan Film Export, headed by Samuel Hadida and Victor Hadida, will distribute the film in France.
”Afterlife” is expected to hit U.S. theatres in fall 2010 and throughout the rest of the word in the following months.

I agree, MrDisgusting, fingers crossed on that! I'd love to see it take place in Tokyo. Can't wait for this. |
Ugh, I heard they are making Wentworth Miller play Chris Redfield in this one. I will be so upset if they do that. They already miscast Wesker for the movies, they better not fuck up Chris! |
No Milla Jovovich or Ali Larter photos?? I want my click back right now!! |
yeah, Shawn Roberts will be playing Wesker. and it IS confirmed the Wentworth will be playing Chris REDFIELD (up til now they only said Chris). Spencer's return as K-Mart is GREAT news as is Kim Koates (and of course Ali and Milla are SUPER AWESOME!!)
i do agree that the 3D thing is tired. it's just an annoying gimmick. in an interview w/ Paul Anderson from comic-con he said he was doing this in 3D because he was excited to use a process he'd never used before. i'm like "WTF"!!?? so he wants to indulge his own "wants" at the possible expense of the movie?! i'm very excited for this movie but i just wish it wasn't in 3D. |
I'll never understand why people hate 3D. When done right, it adds depth, distance, layered effects and flat out adds realism.
ToyStory 2 apperantly has some great 3D work in it, not to mention the upcoming Alice in Wonderland.
By the way you do have the choice to not see it in 3D, so stop complaining...especially since 3D is awesome. |
I can' wait for this. Not fussed by 3D though. |
GOD DAMMIT! JUST MAKE A MOVIE VERSION OF RESIDENT EVIL 4 THE GAME! THAT GAME WOULD BE THE MOST KICKASS MOVIE EVER! FORGET ALL THIS ALICE GARBAGE AND MAKE RE4 ALREADY! LEON, ASHLEY, ADA, AND THE PLAGAS!!!! |
I hope they bring Jill back - she vanished in 3!!! I live in Tokyo now, so I hope that even though they film in Canada, they at least try to make it look believable.....hate it when they throw in a heap of chinese americans when they say theyre japanese - there is a big difference you know!! No offence to chinese people there!! x |
i hope it dont suck like the last one |
Been waiting for this since I saw the ending of RE3, so needless to say this is great news! |
i'm looking forward to it, i was hoping that they actually went to japan to film it. I hate when use other places for another country, why not just go there, if your going to waste money to make it 3D waste the money and go to japan and used actual japanese individuals |
