The subtitling of Paul W. S. Anderson’s Resident Evil franchise can be a little difficult to keep track of (though not as difficult as the game series, where a numbered installment only comes along once in a blue moon), so a quick recap might be useful before discussing the latest news regarding Resident Evil 6. The film series has so far been roughly divided into two trilogies, the first consisting of Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Extinction, with the saga continuing in Resident Evil: Afterlife and Resident Evil: Retribution. At this point, we probably need a mnemonic by which to remember all the subtitles.
Despite having confirmation of the release date for Resident Evil 6 back in , it was not yet certain whether Anderson would choose to direct once again or if his schedule would require him to delegate the job as he did with Apocalypse and Extinction. Now it’s official – Paul W.S. Anderson will direct Resident Evil 6.
First Showing has confirmed that Anderson will definitely be returning as both director and producer and will begin shooting the film this fall. Perhaps it’s fitting that – having produced all of the Resident Evil films so far directed three of them – Anderson should be at the helm for what is supposed to be the concluding chapter of the second trilogy (and based on the poor critical reception and declining box office profits, it might also be the final installment of the franchise).
As far as we know, Anderson is still attached to direct an adaptation of another videogame, Castlevania. He’s also lined up to direct Pompeii, a disaster movie based on the famous eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed an entire city in AD 79. Pompeii was originally supposed to start filming in spring 2012, but now appears to be back on track with Kit Harrington recently announced to play the lead role.
No plot details for RE6 have yet been released, but fans of the existing Resident Evil films will probably have a good idea of what to expect. Milla Jovovich is set to return as Alice, and the perennial bad guys of the Umbrella Corporation will no doubt be back again, joined by the undead and mutated horrors that they’ve unleashed upon the world. Anderson plans to shoot Resident Evil 6 in 3D, as he did with Afterlife and Retribution.
Whether or not the franchise will rise once more, in the form of a reboot or further additions to the existing saga, will no doubt depend largely on the box office success of Resident Evil 6. Despite the occasional Razzie nomination, the Resident Evil films have been fairly reliable in terms of profit, with the last installment grossing over $220m worldwide.

Honestly dont mind these movies just having elements of the game in it. Its kind alike fanfic on a large scale. Personally i’d feel game-like movies too dull like having played them most of my life there is no twist that could be added to make them re-enjoyable. Id just have to play the game. Plus if the fan support of game centric movies is anything like how fans reacted to 5 and 6(and some even 4) those movies would probably get past Code Veronica then have a decline in the cinemas. That being said all good things must come to an end i hope for a great ending that will satisfy
RE would receive an award for best series of films if there was such an award. I have been continually surprised by the content in each film. The Star Trek series of films can’t compare. Even the James Bond series of films doesn’t compare in my view. Possibly the biggest reason that RE is my favorite series, and why I can’t seem to wait for the next version, is that Milla is the main character. I have tried to make it to the first viewings for all the films. I am extremely curious what adventures lovable Alice will be getting into. None of the Star Trek characters have that kind of magnatism for me. Same with the James Bond characters. Honestly there isn’t a person alive that has the looks and acting ability that Milla has. Take any actress that you want. Would she be able to play the role of a superhero, and the role of Lucetta in “Stone”, and the role of Joan of Arc, and the role of the many other characters that Milla has played? I don’t think that there is an entertainer alive that is that talented. She was an especially lovable character in “The Three Musketeers”. One day, when all the dust has settled in Hollywood, folks will finally appreciate true greatness and I think that then is when Milla will be recognized as the best that ever was. If Alice has to be terminated in one of the upcoming RE movies, then wait to terminate her when America’s economy improves. Right now we desperately need a superhero.
