Like the undead themselves, modern zombie movies keep coming and coming. The only thing I ask is that we get at least just one good one. Paul W.S. Anderson hints that there may be another Resident Evil film in the works.
“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.”
It would seem like a sure thing given the ending of “Extinction,” which saw Alice (Milla Jovovich) beside herself with rage — literally, thanks to hundreds of perfect clones - promising to travel to the Umbrella Corporation’s headquarters in Japan. But Anderson, who scripted the first three films, says a concrete story hasn’t yet been decided upon. In fact, it’s coming up with a plausible, kick-ass story that’s momentarily holding him up.
“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.”
So now we’re throwing it out to you: Think “Resident Evil 4” should be made? If so, what should the story be about, because clearly, the writers for this franchise have no idea.
I am glad he stated he doesn't want to do a RE film for the heck of it, because Extinction felt just like that. The characters were underdeveloped and the action was mediocre. i love Milla Jovovich and I think she's one of the best female action stars we have out right now, it's just they seriously need to put her in a good film for once. Resident Evil is a horror videogame, and the problem with the RE franchise is that after the first film they moved into a more sct-fi/action/comic book movie rather than the horror film it's supposed to be. Take the series back to basics, follow the videogame (they have stories within the RE videogame world) and you'll have an idea for a fourth film.
P.S. I really hope they abandon the Alice clone idea, because that idea (and the Re:3ending) was shit.
