Resident Evil: Extinction, the third installment in the popular game-to-film franchise, is set to begin production in 2006. Russell Mulcahy (The Shadow, Highlander) will direct with Milla Jovovich reprising her starring role.
It was previously believed that the third film, written by Paul W.S. Anderson, would be titled Resident Evil: Afterlife. Reports said the movie would be set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun with mutant zombies. The setting was the Nevada desert with the Aussie outback standing in for the American wasteland. In the final reel, the action would have shifted to Japan, setting up the fourth installment.
It's unclear now if Resident Evil: Extinction will follow that same storyline or whether or not a fourth film is still planned.
Sony's Screen Gems will again distribute the film in North America.

Oh my, I'm obessed with this movie and game series. I've been a fan of Resident since I rented the game on Playstation. I hope they don't screw it up too. The 2nd one was the best. 1st one was really good too.
