'Resident Evil: Afterlife'

Bloody-Disgusting spoke to actress Milla Jovovich at the press day for "A Perfect Getaway." With the recent announcement of a September 2010 release date for "Resident Evil: Afterlife," Jovovich was asked what’s in store for Alice in the fourth movie and what the 3-D will mean for the franchise.

"I’m the lead role [again]," says Jovovich. "There’s the clones and it’s going to be a lot of work. I’m gonna be working every day for the next four months on this and it’s gonna be bigger than ever. It’s super-exciting."

The specifics of the plot are under wraps for now, but Jovovich tiptoed around the details to tell as much as she could.

"I would feel a little bit weird giving you too much information about the character," she said. "Let’s just say this. The clones are definitely in it. You’ve got multiple Alice’s kicking serious butt. And definitely the real Alice has some pretty major things happen to her that change the stakes a little bit. That’s probably all I can give you in a vague sort of way. It’s definitely going to be a different Alice than who we’re used to."

The same team that did the 3-D work on James Cameron’s "Avatar" will be working on "Resident Evil: Afterlife." For now, Jovovich is leaving that intense prep work to her husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, who returns to direct part four.

"I have no idea about the 3-D process. Paul just signed a deal with the people Cameron used on 'Avatar' because they impressed him the most. [Paul] has basically seen like every 3-D movie ever made in the last two months to prepare for it. We’re definitely using all the best equipment. All the storyboards are centered around how to make the 3-D the best it can be. We’re really trying to use that medium to its fullest."

In terms of whether this will be the final "Resident Evil" movie or if a part five will surface down the line, Jovovich said that’s up to the fans.

"You know, it depends," she said. "'Resident Evil' is one of those things that is very much based on how well the last movie did. The last movie ['Resident Evil: Extinction'] did very well, so of course the company wants to make another one. These films are very organic in that sense. It’s not like a 'Harry Potter' machine in the sense that it’s already this huge thing and they make three movies at the same time. For us, we make one movie, we give it an interesting ending and if the fans are like, ‘We want to see what happened. We want to see the next one’ and the studio gets enough mail and there’s web site interest then we’re like, ‘Yeah, let’s make another one.’"
