There will be another Resident Evil

Yesterday Deadline New York have reported that Screen Gems and Constatin Films have teamed up and have already cast Resident Evil 5.

This is for me who hasn't seen all the Resident Evil set of films but I loved the first film but I did like the second eventhough there were some critics saying that it wasn't as good as the first one, and I do have to agree with this critique of the second film but it is still watchable and enjoyable.

But thankfully Milla Jovovich will return as Alice, ... so I have to say that for me this is good news as this was really her part and I think that if someone new came in and played the part of Alice it would be not as good and  there have already been so many Resident Evil movies with her in it wouldn't make sense to recast her part (this is I think where the Twilight set of films went wrong as they recast Rachelle Lefevre who played Victoria and she was so good in that part).

Anyhew... Paul W.S Anderson is going to be directing this, and he also wrote the script for this. Jeremy Bolt , Robert Kulzer, Don Carmody and Samuel Hadida will produce this.

So far the cast is Michelle Rodriguez will be back as if you have seen the first film like me she was in this as part of the group of police that is sent into the hive once Mary (the computer system that the Umbrella Corporation have to monitor the security of their labs shuts itself down and looks like it is attacking itself but it is actually trying to make the zombies that it has created in so as not to get out and harm anyone, then as the team are getting out an escaped scientifically created dog with higher sets of scences and with a tongue that whips around to create other scientific zombies and vampires attacks her on the hives bullet train and makes her a zombie).

Anyhew...other members of the cast are Johann Urb, Boris Kodjoe, Shawn Roberts, Sienna Guilloroy, Oded Fehr and Kevin Durand. Johann Urb will play a leader of a resistance group who teams up with Alice in order to take down The Umbrella Corporation as well as the growing number of the undead.

So...with this story line it sounds as if this sounds like the film makers have taken elements from the second Resident Evil film as I seem to remember that Alice and some police that have been told to go into Racoon City that has been affected by the Umberella Corporation T Virus and find any survivors as along with the daughter of the Professor who has created the virus who has been said as missing, but instead they find the whole of the city are now zombies and they find out about Alice and what The Umberella Corporation has done.

So until more info is out there I'll be waiting with baited breath as this has already wetted my appetite for seeing this in the cinema, and if this film does what the new Riddick film is going to do which is go back to the Pitch Black film and take elements from this and make this new film....and goes back to the first film then I am sure that this film will be as good and as big a thriller as the first one was.
