Jill Valentine Never Left ‘Resident Evil: Retribution’…
I received dozens of e-mails from you guys regarding another website’s story that Sony Screen Gems would be changing Jill Valentine’s character into one Ana Wong in Resident Evil: Retribution. We didn’t report it because, well, it just wasn’t true.
Thankfully, Sienna Guillory, who starred as Valentine in Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Afterlife, cleared the air via her official Twitter page. The actress spoke of what we eluded to a few weeks back when we reported that she may be recast. She’s in “new talks”.
“Big day tomorrow! Meeting Paul Anderson and Jeremy Bolt and Robert Kultzer to see what my future looks like,” said Guillory.
So, as we previously reported, Guillory still may return as Valentine if she can work out a new deal with producers. Hopefully we’ll have something official in the coming weeks as shooting gears up.
Paul W.S. Anderson is directing Resident Evil: Retribution in Russia, Canada and Japan, with Milla Jovovich reprising her role as Alice. Screen Gems will release September 14, 2012.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
