Resident Evil: Afterlife

Bloody-Disgusting is reporting that "Sony Screen Gems' Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth pic in the game-to-film franchise, is slated to go behind cameras for an 8 week shoot September 28th at Cinespace Film Studios in Toronto. The studio has plopped the film on their release calendars for September 17, 2010. No word on who will be returning just yet, but the plot is said to take us to Tokyo for more Umbrella Corporation zombie mayhem." I previously discussed RE: Afterlife here and here. I can't say I'm much looking forward to this. The first was a decent video game adaptation (albeit not very inspired), though still flawed. But the second was atrocious, and the third was only marginally improved. Then again, it's hard to grow tired of Milla Jovovich doing stunts, martial arts, and spouting off cheesy one-liners. Yeah, I'll be there.
