July 2009:
Shock Till You Drop has reported:

Milla Jovovich has officially signed on for Resident Evil Afterlife which will be out on September 17th, 2010. Shooting starts this September. Not only will they be using the same ‘unique shooting’ that Avatar had but also…Paul W.S. Anderson is back at the helm directing. We’ll see characters from the video game popping up as well as old favorites from the previous Resident Evil films.

Paul says.

“I always envisioned Resident Evil as a trilogy of films,” he said. “And we’ve been very lucky where it’s a trilogy where the audience has built and built. I wanted to kick off a brand new trilogy. I’m really excited we’re doing it [in 3-D] and we’re using the same camera system [James] Cameron used for Avatar. There are a lot of exciting things about this one. I don’t regard it as Resident Evil 4, I regard it as a re-tooling and rebirth of the entire franchise.” unquote.
