A fourth live-action installment of the
Resident Evil series was
reported last summer, but now it seems more information has come to light. JoBlo's horror section
Arrow in the Head has received some updates on the production of
Resident Evil 4.
Paul Anderson wrote the screenplay but he is not coming back to direct.
The screenplay is more akin to RE2 in terms of style, but with better dialogue. The overall tone is also very dark.
There's enough hand to hand fights in the script for them to bring in a martial arts choreographer.
Patrick Tatopoulos (
Resident Evil: Extinction) will be in charge of the creature effects and they will have a new Special FX supervisor (in terms of the the practical effects) - Michael Lantieri (
Jurassic Park III)
The script is complete (they're at Draft 2)) and they're going to start casting before making any more script changes.
So far, they will be filming in Toronto and Tokyo. Toronto will actually front for Alaska.
They will be hiring a director once they have Milla officially signed back on.
We'll definitely keep you posted on any new developments surrounding this fourth film.

But i also agree with that guy about having someone else other than Paul W.S Anderson direct and write.
They should follow the basic plot outline, not the entire game that would just be stupid.
Also for the dude i kind off agree with, he stated about about someone else doing this franchise like Romero or Del-Toro...
News flash
Romero wrote the original script to Resident Evil based on the books and games but they never used the script. You can find it on literally any script site
I agree, these movies don't follow the games well, save for "Resident Evil: Apocalypse," but do you REALLY want to see the SAME EXACT THING that you ALREADY knew was going to happen? Paul W.S. Anderson stayed true to the virus and everything about these movies, except that he didn't follow the storylines to an obsessive compulsive extent.
