From Bloody Disgusting :
While Sony Screen Gems is prepping for Resident Evil 4: Afterlife, the 3D sequel slated to arrive in theaters August 27, 2010, Bloody Disgusting has learned exclusively (and confirmed) that the studio is already looking forward to the fifth film. While Milla Jovovich is confirmed for Afterlife, it’s got to be getting expensive and (increasingly) difficult to keep her onboard, even though she is married to producer Paul W.S. Anderson. Instead of moving forward with the ongoing story, the studio is planning a quasi-reboot, which is tentatively titled Resident Evil Begins.
The combination of horror and Jovovich s star power has given Resident Evil consistently strong showings in its first three installments. The fourth should prove interesting with the 3D take on things, and the fifth sets up a possible annual return for the series on the silver screen.
So that s five movies with future installments most definitely planned off of a series that is less popular than other games-turned-movies Doom and Super Mario Bros. Good work, Capcom and Sony Pictures, in leveraging the horror fad with the right demographic and filmmaking, along with games that keep the series on people s minds.
