BREAKING: Sienna Guillory WILL Return as Jill Valentine in ‘Resident Evil: Retributon’!
Earlier this month we stated that Sony Screen Gems may recast Jill Valentine in Resident Evil: Retribution, while other news outlets misreported stories claiming Valentine was being omitted from the sequel entirely.
Director and franchise producer Paul W.S. Anderson cares about the franchise’s fans and proved it today having just closed a deal with Sienna Guillory to strap on her zombie stompin’ boots for the 3-D sequel filming later this month in Toronto, Japan and eventually Russia.
Milla Jovovich, who will return as Alice, confirmed the news via Twitter: “i can’t reply right now, but wanted 2 let u all know that Sienna Guillory @guillorybe closed her deal on the new RE movie! we r so excited!!”
She’s excited? How about the entire Resident Evil community?! Now if only Anderson would write Sienna a LARGER ROLE. We want to see Valentine kickin’ some arse! Screen Gems fights Umbrella Corp. once again on September 14, 2012.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
