Production begins on Resident Evil: Afterlife photo

Production on the fourth Resident Evil movie has started in Toronto, Canada. We’ve heard some details about the plot, in regards to it being set in Los Angeles at a prison, but what we didn’t know was who actor Wentworth Miller would be playing. Turns out he’s going to be Chris Redfield, which isn’t that bad of a casting choice.

Ali Larter will be back as Claire Redfield and actor Shawn Roberts will be playing the role of Wesker, replacing the Wesker actor from the last movie.

The only reason I would watch this movie now is if there’s some kind of fight scene between Chris and Wesker. Otherwise, no. Just no.

I feel a group of us should go on an "Jay & Silent Bob strike back"-esque quest to stop this film being made.

No...Just no. Someone just needs to shoot Paul W.S.Anderson to save us from this train wreck that's being made.
For the children!

The movies are nothing like the games and the complete opposite of frightening, but I still like the second two. They're dumb and mindless, but still moderately fun. I'm not calling them masterpieces by any stretch of the word, but there are MUCH more horrible movies in existence. Wolverine, anyone? That god-awful Chun-Li mess? Dragon Ball?

And yes, Milla Jovovich is by far the best part of the franchise. She's extremely sexy, and is pretty good at being badass.

So I don't blame most of you for recoiling in horror at the thought of another RE movie, but I'll probably see it eventually.

The chick that played Jill in one of them (I forgot which one, and I don't care) is fucking HOT.

I like RE movies. They are a guilty pleasure for me. In fact I liked them because they are nothing like the games.

That last one wasn't all that great though...

These films have been getting worse each time. The 3rd one was barely worth the space on my Harddrive that it used up after I torrented it.

Los255, yes, Jill in RE 2 (movie) was absolutely gorgeous (Sienna Guillory)

She looks way hotter in the movie than all the rest of her photos elsewhere. Instant crush for her looks as Jill.

Why god, why?!

Kill me once the movie gets released, I don't want to see my favorite franchise get pummeled to death by idiotic writes who don't know one shit about the game.

Are you kidding me? Shawn Roberts is like 25 years old, and Wesker is supposed to be 20 years older... He's like 50 in RE5!!

@Dangsterr: not necessarily a problem. This film is meant to be a rebooting of the Resi films (since Capcom fucked them over so much before RE1 was even released: the Resi film was meant to be prequel to the first game which was all approved by Capcom until the last minute when Capcom changed their minds and decided the films wouldn't count; the producers had already signed a deal for multiple films so they said "fuck it" and made their own plot, hence why the films are only vaguely similar to the games) and if it's a reboot, Wesker could be nearly any age - certainly if they drag it back to pre-RE1, he could be late 30's, and it's not hard to make someone look ten years older if they're not the right age.

I liked the Resi films for what they were (incredibly low budget prequel that got screwed and then mindless action flicks) and Milla Jovovich is stupidly, stupidly hot, so I'll be happily going along to see this when it comes out.

What is it with getting twenty-somethings to play Wesker?
