The fourth Resident Evil film has quickly gone from rumored to a release date as it races with Robert Rodriguez's Predators for the unofficial fast track from announced to in theaters award. Per Fangoria, Resident Evil: Afterlife will be released on September 17, 2010, and will continue where Resident Evil: Extinction left off. Because it is a continuation you can expect Milla Jovovich back as part human, part whatever for her fourth turn in the series. Series producer, Paul W.S. Anderson, is the likely candidate to direct again but there is no confirmation of that. Are you all ready for another Resident Evil with an aging Milla retaining her leading lady status? Or do you think the film series is ready to bury itself and let the games carry forward the franchise? Chime in below in the Comments section.

As previously reported here, it appears Screen Gems and Sony have officially confirmed that we’ll be seeing the fourth installment in the undead “Resident Evil” franchise hit theaters by September 17th, 2010. The confirmation comes from Fangoria, who also says that Milla Jovovich will indeed be back as Alice, the franchise’s main character and star since the first. The franchise has seen three movies so far: the original in 2002, the sequel, “Resident Evil: Apocalypse” in 2004, and more recently, “Resident Evil: Extinction” in 2007. Apparently calling the last one “Extinction” was premature, because the series will now continue on with “Resident Evil: Afterlife”. Series producer Paul W.S. Anderson has made noise in the past about being already hard at work writing the script for “Afterlife”, and there are rumors he may return to direct it as well, having previously directed the first movie in the series. Below: “Eh, she ain’t so tough without them guns.

Mark your calendars now - the fourth film in the Resident Evil series has a date.
Confirming an earlier report that was shared here, Sony/Screen Gems will release Resident Evil: Afterlife on September 17th, 2010.
The fourth installment of the game-based series will follow 2007's Resident Evil: Extinction, which interestingly entered production under the title, Resident Evil: Afterlife. Milla Jovovich will be back as Alice, while series producer Paul W.S. Anderson may once again take the helm.
We'll be watching this one closely, so stay tuned for confirmation on directorial duties and further details.

A Fourth instalment in the Resident Evil film franchise is being developed by Sony.
Although 2007's third movie was billed as the final chapter, it left doors open for a follow-up and last year writer/producer Paul W.S. Anderson (who directed the first adventure) confirmed he was working on another film.
Horror site Shock Till You Drop reports that the next film will be called Resident Evil: Afterlife and is set for release on September 17, 2010.
The site believes lead character Alice, played by Milla Jovovich, is likely to return and speculates that the character and her clones, as seen at the end of the third film, are likely to be shown seeking revenge on the Umbrella Corporation in Tokyo.
The movies are based on the popular video games. The first film was released in 2002, followed by Resident Evil: Apocalypse coming out in 2004 and Resident Evil: Extinction in 2007.

ShockTillYouDrop.com reports that Sony's Screen Gems is eyeing a September 17, 2010 release for the fourth "Resident Evil" installment, to be titled "Resident Evil: Afterlife". The ending of the third film, "Resident Evil: Extinction", left the door wide open for another sequel. Paul W.S. Anderson revealed late last year he was indeed writing the next film.

Alice and her clones are going after the Umbrella Corporation for the fourth time. The fourth installment in the "Resident Evil" film franchise has been set to arrive in late next year.
Shocktillyoudrop.com reports that there is indeed a "Resident Evil 4" and it will arrive on September 17, 2010, despite other reports saying "Resident Evil: Extinction" was the last from the group.
The will be titled "Resident Evil: Afterlife."
Last year, producer/director/writer Paul Anderson revealed he was writing another film and Capcom was getting involved. Anderson directed the first film, but not the two sequels. It is still unknown if he will also direct the fourth one.

Wait, what? Didn't this franchise come to an end with Resident Evil: Extinction in 2007? Or have we just entered the era where trilogies are no longer the "in" thing? ShockTillYouDrop is reporting that a new live-action Resident Evil sequel called Resident Evil: Afterlife is in development for a September 2010 release. They've actually gotten confirmation from Sony that it is indeed happening. And that Paul W.S. Anderson is at least writing the script and that Capcom is on-board. As for other details, well, no one knows, but at least it's confirmed that the CG Resident Evil: Degeneration wasn't the real sequel to Extinction. A year ago, in June of 2008, Anderson had said that, "there's a possibility it might happen," though no one thought it ever would. "If we could find a good Resident Evil 4 to make, then we would do it. But I wouldn't just do it for

I know what you’re thinking. At the end of Resident Evil: Extinction, what was arguable the weakest of the three films, you really wanted just one more go around for Alice and her nemesis, the evil Umbrella Corporation. Well, get ready because according to reports over at Shock Til You Drop, you might be getting just what you want. That is, if you can believe the rumors.
According to the site, a tipster has revealed that there will indeed be a fourth installment of the franchise and it even has a name: Resident Evil: Aftermath. The story, and again just speculation at this point but not that hard to believe, concerns all those clones of Alice revealed at the end of the third film and how they will take their final revenge on the Umbrella Corporation as they hide in their layer deep under Tokyo.

Resident Evil: Extinction left the door open -- wide open -- for a sequel even though that powers-that-be at the time said it would be the last entry in the film franchise. Well, I guess you just can't keep a good ghoul down.
Shock Till You Drop reported on a rumor that has been confirmed that a fourth film tentatively being called Resident Evil: Afterlife is in the works and that Sony is looking to get it into theaters by September 17, 2010.
Further confirmation comes from an interview with star Milla Jovovich, which you can watch below courtesy of Hollywood TV.
Will they get it right this time? Extinction, though kind of crappy, at the very least had zombies in it, and that's more than we can say for part 2. Keep it tuned.

Well it looks like we've finally got something more to report on the next installment in Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil movie franchise. Although this is still not entirely official, Shock Till You Drop [1] has it on good authority that Resident Evil 4 is a go and will be aiming for a release date of September 17, 2010. The new movie is apparently being called Resident Evil: Afterlife. As expected, the fourth chapter will have nothing to do with Resident Evil 4 the video game, and instead will pick up where the last movie, Resident Evil: Extinction, left off. That will probably mean a shift in setting to the Umbrella Headquarters in Tokyo. No word yet on whether or not Milla Jovovich will return, but I really can't see them doing it without her. The only Re movie I've seen is Extinction, which never really lived up to its potential.

Update: We have just received confirmation - the release date is true! In spite of what any of the talent involved in Resident Evil: Extinction told us during the press tour (mostly, "this is the final chapter"), the film left the door wide - and we mean Wide open - for a fourth installment. Late last year, Paul W.S. Anderson revealed he was indeed writing another film. Capcom was getting involved. Everyone, as he said, was "excited." Well, we've just learned from a studio insider that Sony is looking to get Resident Evil: Afterlife into theaters by September 17, 2010. That's according to an internal memo circulating through the offices there. Will Anderson direct? Unsure. Will Milla Jovovich be back? I think it would be safe to say yes...

Those of you who sat through Resident Evil: Extinction may remember that the end saw (Spoiler!) a bunch of clones of Milla Jovovich's Alice ready to open whole vats of whoop-ass on Umbrella Corporation headquarters in Tokyo. So it should come as no surprise to learn that a Resident Evil 4 is in development, and due for release on September 17, 2010 according to Shock Till You Drop.Yes, there's more. Most normal franchises, inventing a virus that could dry up lakes, would have had the decency to throw their hands up and retire in embarrassment, but not this one.There's no word yet on whether Milla Jovovich will return, although we'd be amazed if she doesn't (hey! She's stuck with it this far). Paul Ws Anderson talked about writing a fourth instalment last year although it remains to be seen whether he'll direct. But with Oded Fehr's Carlos Olivera killed off last time,

A year after director/scribe Paul W. S. Anderson said he is working on fourth "Resident Evil" movie, reports on possible release date are coming in for the fourth installment of the video game adaptation series. Shock Till You Drop (Styd) recently broke out that the studio eyes to release the movie in U.S. theaters by September 17, 2010.
Styd claimed the news came from a Sony insider suggesting that an internal memo of the matter has circulated through the studio's offices. In addition to the potential release date, the site reported that the fourth movie is likely to be called "Resident Evil: Afterlife". Screen Gems, Sony's subsidiary company which has produced the previous "Resident Evil" movies, is yet to give any official comment on the story.
Back in late 2008, "Resident Evil" director Anderson has told IGN that he is writing another installment of "Resident Evil" franchise. "I'm writing a script right now.

Please be advised the following is only a rumor at this point. The folks at ShockTillYouDrop say a studio source claims Sony is planning to release a fourth "Resident Evil" flick by Sept. 17, 2010.
This is obviously unconfirmed at this point. Still, we've been hearing quite a few things about the possibility of "Resident Evil 4," which is also now referred to as "Resident Evil: Afterlife."
It started exactly one year ago, when Paul W.S. Anderson said he would like to make another installment. Last January, news of a completed script started to surface. Back then, rumor had it Anderson would not return to direct.
If you've seen "Resident Evil: Extinction," you obviously know the film already hinted at another sequel. Right not, it's just not sure when it's actually going to happen, and who will be part of it.
So, how do you feel about a potential 2010 date? Should Anderson be back to direct?

Ladies and gentlemen, I have the official first nomination for the "who gives a shit" award this year: The planned sequel to Resident Evil: Extinction is set for a September 17, 2010. That means cancel your bbq's, ditch your overweight sister at the prom, and tell your mother you'll cut her toe nails some other time. This is a must-see event. Director Paul W.S.

Trailer for Korean rampaging giant pig movie Chaw. Jeong-won Shin directs a cast that includes Josiah D. Lee (The Red Machine) Yu-mi Jeong (A Bittersweet Life). The IMDb describes the movie as "a black comedy about the events that are set into motion in a town after a man-eating boar goes on a rampage."
While you might laugh, it's not the first time a movie has been made bout a giant boar on the rampage. I've always been a fan of Russell Mulcahy's (Resident Evil: Extinction) 1984 big box VHS classic Razorback. A film about a crazed giant boar that terrorizes the Australian outback.

Ever since the 2008 San Diego Comic Con panel, mum has been the word on the upcoming remake of Red Sonja, which is being produced by Robert Rodriguez and is starring Rodriguez’s main squeeze, Rose McGowan.
Well now executive producer Joe Gatta (who is also handling the Conan remake) is speaking up about what is going on with Red Sonja and when we can expect the film to hit theaters (apparently the recession has been hitting Hollywood hard as Main Street).
Gatta’s explanation of the non-movement on Red Sonja is that the downturn in the economy has delayed the film from going into production until 2010. As he told Empire Magazine:
“Because of certain issues and the economy, we had to change our plan a bit. It’s frustrating because we thought we’d make the movie last year, before Conan.”
Gatta also confirmed that Red Sonja will be an

Last year a new movie adaptation of Red Sonja was announced, with plans to film it in 2008 and release it sometime this year, as the date on promotional posters indicated.
Sin City director Robert Rodriguez was to produce the project, which will star his fiancee Rose McGowan as the so-called 'she-devil with a sword'.
McGowan is best known from the TV series Charmed and the Rodriguez/Tarantino double feature Grindhouse.
After the remake was announced, all went quiet.
But now executive producer Joe Gatta has explained what is happening with this project and when we can expect to see it hit the big screen.
Gatta said the movie had been delayed and the intention is to film Red Sonja in 2010. The aim is to release it late that same year.
Gatta, who's also producing the Conan remake, told Empire magazine: "Because of certain issues and the economy, we had to change our plan a bit.
