Resident Evil 3′s Movie Storyline

So what if it is a year away.  Resident Evil movies have done considerably well in the video game-to-movie marketplace.

Resident Evil: Extinction, the third film based (loosely) off the videogame series, is slated to hit theaters sometime in 2007, and this week at the Hollywood And Videogames Summit, Paul W.S. Anderson was interviewed about the upcoming movie. He’s credited for producing and writing the screenplay for the film, and had the following to say:

“So the third movie, Resident Evil: Extinction is set several years in the future and it’s pretty much after the Umbrella Corporation has failed to control the outbreaks of the T-Virus and the world has literally been wiped out. There’s very little humanity left and a handful of human survivors are traveling around the remnants of the world in these heavily armored convoys and what they do is they go to the least populated parts of the world, because they figure that’s where the least undead will be, and they travel in these heavily armored trucks and customized rolling fortresses — it’s very Road Warrior — at high speed so that the undead don’t get anywhere near them. So that’s where the movie takes place, primarily in the deserts of Nevada and around Las Vegas. But of course, it’s a Las Vegas that has kind of fallen now, because what’s happened is, with no one to take care of it, the desert has come back in and half-buried Vegas. So we built all these casinos which are sort of buried in the sand.

Milla Jovovich is reprising her roll as Alice, and so will Sienna Guillory, who plays the blue top, miniskirt wearing Jill Valentine. However, another big female character from the series, Clara Reidfield is also going to appear in the film as well, played by Ali Larter (Final Destination, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back).
