In a press release issued earlier this week, Sony Screen Gems announced that the fourth Resident Evil movie has officially started production in Toronto. As you are probably well aware, Paul W. S. Anderson is “back in his triple threat capacity” as writer, director and producer of the flick, but what you may not know is that Resident Evil: Afterlife is being shot in 3-D! Pretty exciting, right? Okay, maybe not. Although the plot is still being kept under wraps, Anderson offered the following tidbits:

“Alice’s battle with The Umbrella Corporation isn’t finished. Last time we saw Alice, she let them know she was coming after them. It’s time to settle the score.”

Milla Jovovich will, of course, reprise her role as Alice, and both Ali Larter and Spencer Locke will continue their roles from Resident Evil: Extinction as Claire Redfield and K-Mart respectively. There is one new addition to the cast that should have fans of the video game series somewhat interested, however: Wentworth Miller will be playing Chris Redfield, Claire’s brother, and one of the main characters from the very first Resident Evil game. Miller is best known as Michael Scofield from Prison Break, and seems very suitable for the role, at least as far as matching the in-game cinematics and stilted voice acting (ha). Shawn Roberts will also be taking over the role of Wesker from Jason O’Mara. What do you think, could this be the best Resident Evil film yet? Are you glad to see Paul W.S. Anderson back in the director’s chair or would you have rather had Russell Mulcahy pick up where he left off?
