New Resident Evil Movie Gets A Director

5:00PM July 24, 2009 | Brian Ashcraft

And that director is Paul W.S. Anderson. The last Resident Evil Anderson helmed was the first one; he wrote and produced the other two films, Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Extinction.

Anderson will write, direct and produce Resident Evil: Afterlife. His wife, Milla Jovovich, will reprise her role as Alice. The movie, the fourth in the franchise, will be in 3D.

“I always envisioned Resident Evil as a trilogy of films,” Anderson told website ShockTillYouDrop.com. “And we’ve been very lucky where it’s a trilogy where the audience has built and built. I wanted to kick off a brand new trilogy. I’m really excited we’re doing it [in 3-D]and we’re using the same camera system [James]Cameron used for Avatar. There are a lot of exciting things about this one. I don’t regard it as Resident Evil 4, I regard it as a re-tooling and rebirth of the entire franchise.”

Resident Evil: Afterlife is penciled in for a September 17, 2010 theatrical release.

    *sigh* When will the nightmare end… isn’t it bad enough that Resi 5 sucked, we have to put up with another sucky movie?

    I don’t care if it sucks. If I get to see Milla Jovovich in *that dress* again, I’ll be happy.
