Fifth Resident Evil Movie Announced For 2012
Here's hoping you like Milla Jovovich and her seemingly never-ending role as the star of the Resident Evil films, because Sony Pictures has announced that a fifth film based on Capcom's classic survival horror franchise is on the way.
The news comes via Box Office Mojo, which reports that the next RE movie -- currently titled Resident Evil 5 but almost certain to gain a silly subtitle by the time it hits theaters -- will arrive on September 14, 2012. The series has traditionally had September start dates since the second film. Resident Evil 5 will also maintain the last film's one major addition to the series: 3D.
If you agree with the critics that the last film, Resident Evil: Afterlife, was kind of awful, I've got even worse news: Apparently everyone else in the world doesn't care. Box Office Mojo reports that Afterlife grossed an astounding $236 million in the foreign box office, which equals up to about as much money as the first three RE movies made combined.
Though this news confirms what aforementioned lead actress Milla Jovovich was saying way back when Afterlife hit theaters, I'm curious about the rest of her prediction. Jovovich said that she and husband/director Paul W.S. Anderson would be interacting with fans and taking suggestions on what they want to see in the latest installment. Perhaps you should leave a comment here telling us what you'd like to see just in case Jovovich is watching?
