Milla Jovovich Gets Twitter Chatty on ‘Resident Evil 5’
After toughing through months of unintelligible tweets, Resident Evil starlet Milla Jovovich finally used the medium to update fans of the forthcoming fifth film that Screen Gems hopes to have in theaters by September 14, 2012.
First, she confirms that she will be returning as “Alice” and that she “thinks” that the official title is Resident Evil: Retribution, while also adding, “but i have to ask paul 2 b sure.”
Paul would be her husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, who directed the first and final installments. She confirms his involvement, but solely as a writer at the moment. For hardcore fans, you’ll be happy to know that he’s at least “trying”: “jst 2 let the RE fans know, cause there’s been a bunch of questions abt the nxt film, paul has kids that are proffessional players… all they do is play the games till they master every level and unlock every code. they play the games for WEEKS and give paul the footage.” She continues, “He’s literally watching days of the most awesome RE players out there to get inspiration 4 the nxt installment of the franchise.”
As I tweeted back at her, if Mr. Anderson actually cared he’d make an R-rated sequel with scares and gore, instead of a BS flashy music video. But what else can we expect from the director of Alien vs Predator?
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
