There's A God! Next RESIDENT EVIL Film Will Also Be The Last

For over a decade Screen Gems has been cashing in with their Resident Evil film franchise. The first film in the series, 2002's Resident Evil, pulled $102M and then the sequels: 2004's Resident Evil: Apocalypse did $129.3M, 2007's Resident Evil: Extinction did $147M, Resident Evil: Afterlife did a best $296.2M and Resident Evil: Retribution did second best with $240M. They cleared some hefty profits as they were given surprisingly modest budgets for films that relied heavily on complex action sequences and CGI. It is one of the few video game-to-film adaptations that has actually been successful. So, it is quite surprising that Paul W.S. Anderson revealed to  Collider that the next Resident Evil will also be the last one.

He started off the conversation with Collider by revealing the title, which is “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter." He cautioned that its just the working title at the moment, but added, "It may end up being the final title, but that’s what’s written on the front page of my script… I’m right in the middle of [the first draft].” When title meant it was the final film in the series, Anderson revealed, “That’s what’s on the title page, it’s Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, so absolutely.” There you go, it will be the final chapter, for real.

When can you expect The Final Chapter? Not any time soon. They don't have a released date nor a production start-date. That'll figure out the start-date once Anderson complete's the first screenplay. As for a release date, Anderson says,  “I don’t know [when it will be in theaters], depends how fast I write, I guess. There’s no set date yet but hopefully we’ll have an announcement for that soon.”


Resident Evil: Retribution - The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun.

Resident Evil: Retribution will be released on DVD and Blu-ray December 21st. The film was directed by director Paul W.S. Anderson and stars Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Sienna Guillory, Oded Fehr, Bingbing Li, Johann Urb, Colin Salmon, Shawn Roberts, Boris Kodjoe and Kevin Durand.

Normally I'd bitch about editorializing and unobjective reporting, but it's okay cuz it's Nailbiter. Fvck this franchise.

Although... At least the Resident Evil movies keep Paul W.S. Anderson busy and away from other properties.

I'm not a Resident Evil fanboy. Didn't really get into the games nor the films. But I know quite a few dedicated gamers to the series, who hate the movies. I know a few peeps who liked the first 2 or 3 movies, never played the games. All of which, cannot stand nor see why they continued making films. I remember when the last one came out. It was it's opening weekend, the lady and I were in line to see whatever crappy 'B' romcom was out and I was paying close attention to who was buying tickets for what, it's just a weird quirk about me. And dude... No one was there for Resident Evil. Not the tweens, the goths, the nerds, the douches, the regulars, the normalfolk, NO ONE. Always made me wonder who Anderson was making Jovovich sleep with in order to get the green light for these movies.

As a massive fan of the early games, these movies always felt like an insult or something. They could have just named it something else, and left the Resident Evil name alone.
