Milla Jovovich Signs up for More Resident Evil

Milla Jovovich has confirmed that that she will start shooting on 'number 4' at the end of the year, and we all know what she's already made three of.

Just ignore the first minute or so of this video, unless you're particularly interested in Milla Jovovich's 16-month old daughter's opinions. What's of particular interest is her confirmation that she will start shooting on 'number 4' at the end of the year. A quick check on IMDB confirms what we all already knew, the only movie that Ms. Jovovich has ever been in that had three previous installments was... (drum roll) Resident Evil.

The third movie, Resident Evil: Extinction, defied the law of diminishing returns and actually made more money that its predecessors and after its release, the producers almost immediately started talking about Resident Evil 4. This comment from Ms. Jovovich suggests that we'll see Alice make a return as well.

Why we'd want to is a completely different question however.

Ah, well, this is interesting, hmmm .... Damn it, i really taught better of her, but it seems i was wrong, she jumped on the " OMG like" bandwagon.... A, the movie? yea... haven't the foggyest bout' it, cuz i never watched the series.

I can't see how 4 is going to be flying to japan and kicking Weskers ass with a army of clones? should just stay dead 3 was terrible.

Resident Evil 3 was poor, it was in the light and diminished the 'fear' element that would've made it so much better. That is because zombies + darkness = scary. Put daytime in there and you might as replace the entire zombie horde with very slow walking cannibals.

I didnt have hopes for any of the other movies, i won't have any for this one either.

Yeah, not to hyped for this, haven't seen the previous three installments, and I don't think I'll be checking out this one either. Still, I hear they're just dumb pop corn fun, so maybe if I'll ever catcch them on tv...

god help us all. 3 was bad enough. The only thing that is slightly positive is that Milla Jovavich is hot

Who knows, maybe RE4 in movie form will be like RE4 in game form and be amazingly awesome and not crappy.

Leaves me worried about "number 5," though.

Ugh, could care less after that last one.

As an action film, Resi 3 wasn't too bad (it was adaquate, the dual machete bit was pretty cool), as a horror movie and a part of the Resident Evil series...it was (and I quote a friend of mine who is a Resi fanatic) fucking pathetic.

Like someone said before me, throw daytime into horror and quickly see how it's much less scary (Resi 5 wasn't as scary as Resi 2, I can tell you that without doubt).

I stoped caring for resident evil when part 2 ended,cause in part 3 shes no longer a girl in a zombie apocalypse she is a prophecy or something destined to save humanity,holywood has to ruin every good story

Well the films -are- about Alice becoming Umbrella's Super Weapon.

It was obvious they were going to take it to number 4. As much as I enjoyed the first two films, I was extremely disappointed with the 3rd film. Barely enough action if you ask me.

But I suppose the films will be a time filler until Resi 6 comes out >_>

btw, films = same brand, different universe. This is why I can be a die hard Resident Evil fan, but still enjoy the [first two] films. Stop whining :P

Eh, my wife will drag me to the movies to see it cause she loves resident evil and Milla. So I might as well enjoy it.

I saw a film once, it wasnt a remake, sequel OR prequel.
Cant remember what it was called though.

I will end up watching 4, because I lack better judgement.
I despised the first 3, then Ill see 4 on the net somewhere, and think
"It cant be worse than 3, that would be impossible... but wait, it is".

this should be cool, they kinda hinted that there would be a fourth one at the end of number 3

As several commented before, pretty much any game movie has to be watched as if it was inspired by the game, not set in the game's universe. With that said, I enjoyed the movies so far and would more than likely enjoy another. None of them were awesome movies by any means, but who cares. Still entertaining.

The Resident Evil movie franchise is one that manages to get 10 times worse for every installment which is released, i think i'll be steering clear of this.

I liked two a bit, and the first was okay, and according to Gametrailers Top 10 worst game movies, 3 was only saved by the fact Milla was in it, so I'm going to say it was probably vomit.

it needs more breastiseses in the next one

Iron Mal:
As an action film, Resi 3 wasn't too bad

You must be confusing it with the second one, because, even as an action film (which I had expected when going to see it in the cinema - just a dumb, no-brainer action flick) it failed catastrophically. The cuts were extremely bad, the action scenes were short and boring and the initial good ideas they had (e.g. plowing through a horde of zombies with a gigantic truck) were just fucked up.
Also, it tried to teach kids that smoking pot is cool.

So, overall I must say this was the first movie (to this date the only one :p) that made me feel ripped off of my 5 Euros.

Now, I need to adress something: Horror + daylight = awesome - if it's done well. You can create an atmosphere that is just incredible.

This.

As a fan of Resident Evil in general the storyline was disappointing, but they are an enjoyable way to waste an hour and a half.

I've known this for quite some time, I read it around the same time I were reading up on Kung Fu Hustle 2.

Ah well, can't be worse than Resident Evil 3, now can it?

No no, you got it all wrong. It'll definitely be The 4th Element.

The first one was actually okay. It was a fun action flick with a story set in the RE universe that didn't interfere with it.

The rest were awful abominations, like bad fan fiction.

I gave up on the series about 3/4 of the way through the first one, so as you might imagine, I'm not that bothered by the news.

Indigo_Dingo:
Maybe its a movie based on Resident Evil 4, and will be actually good.

Optimism is the easiest & quickest way to be disappointed.

Regardless of whether 1-3 were good or not, MJ really has no other role to fill. She's basically a female version of Vin Diesel, Jean Claude Van Damme etc... One style of acting.

They'll never be as good as the games, but I'll watch the next one out of curiosity if nothingg else.

Whatever.

One of the biggest fans of the games (I own all 17) but the movies are really take it or leave it.

Still better than Transformers:RotF already

The only RE movie that didn't suck was the animated one, so I'm not too thrilled to see Hollywood rape the rotten corpse of the murder victim that is RE. Should be worse than having your teeth pulled out with a claw hammer.

Loved the first two, but the third was dreadfully bad. The ending did not exactly set up a good sequal either. Please don't butcher the series anymore Hollywood.

EMFCRACKSHOT:
god help us all. 3 was bad enough.

Ahh the satisfaction of not having to watch a bad movie *aaaaahhhhh*

God help us all.
