Another little gem hiding around Cinemacon was the new poster for Sony Screen Gems’ Resident Evil: Retribution, which features the ever-so-sexy Milla Jovovich as Alice blasting her way through Umbrella Corp. locally. For now you’ll have to take a look at a photo taken with a cell phone, we’ll update with hi-res when Sony supplies us with it.

In theaters September 21, “The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, ALICE (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun.

Jessica Alba And Michelle Rodriguez In Talks For ‘Machete Kills’

Now that director Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Predators) and producer Alexander Rodnyansky are in full pre-production swing on Machete Kills a bit of significant casting news is beginning to trickle in. Word has it that Jessica Alba (Idle Hands, Fantastic Four; pictured inside), and Michelle Rodriguez (The Fast And The Furious, Resident Evil: Retribution; pictured inside) are in talks to appear in the sequel. One would presume this means they’re reprising their respective roles as Sartana and Luz, but you never know in the topsy turvy creative universe of Robert Rodriguez.

Machete Kills (as teased in the closing credits of the first Machete), the film is the second in a planned trilogy. Danny Trejo returns as the title character. The first film starred Trejo as Machete as a Mexican, an ex-Federale with a gift for wielding a blade, who hides out as a day laborer, and is double-crossed by a corrupt state senator. The sequel will be the first U.S. picture to be produced and financed by Alexander Rodnyansky, whose Hollywood expansion plans include a $120 million film fund with Media Talent Group’s Geyer Kosinski. AR Films U.S. is a new partnership between AR Films and Aldamisa Entertainment, whose Sergei Bespalov will manage worldwide sales of Machete Kills in Berlin.

Rodriguez has hinted that the third film in the trilogy will take place in space. We’ll see on that one. Machete Kills starts filming soon, with Rodriguez set to take the reigns on Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For immediately afterward. READ MORE

RE5Landscapel11912 [Special Report]: Returning Heroes And Villains, Submarine Ice Battles, Talk Of Russian Motorcycle Zombies And Prequels On The Set Of Resident Evil: Retribution 3D!

Last month I was on the set of Sony Screen Gems’ Resident Evil: Retribution in Toronto.

There I was able to chat with the cast and crew about what appears to be the biggest installment in the franchise yet. Globetrotting adventures? Check. Shifting alliances? Check. More action? Check. Chats with Milla Jovovich, Paul W.S. Anderson, Sienna Guillory, Michelle Rodriguez, Oded Fehr and Boris Kodjoe? Check.

Want a few more boxes to check off? How about talk of a sixth installment and talk of a prequel. Those – along with the lowdown on the scenes saw being filmed – are all inside.

In the film, “The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice, awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex.

Paul W.S. Anderson Talks ‘Resident Evil 6′, Film’s Producers Discuss A Prequel!

 Paul W.S. Anderson Talks Resident Evil 6, Films Producers Discuss A Prequel!

I was recently on set for Sony Screen Gems’ Resident Evil: Retribution in Toronto, a visit in which there was ample opportunity to talk with much of the film’s cast and crew (full report coming soon). While most of the conversation centered around the most recent installment’s returning cast members and globetrotting narrative, there was one inevitable topic that kept arising – the future of the franchise.

The Resident Evil franchise is one of the lucky few in which the box office grosses just keep going up – and with that trend not looking to die down with the current installment it seems as if it’s (almost) a foregone conclusion that Part 6 will happen. In fact, director Paul W.S. Anderson already has a story in mind (it would be the completion of a trilogy cycle started in Afterlife) and there was even discussion of filming parts 5 and 6 back to back (a discussion which was admittedly abandoned early on).

While there isn’t a script yet, here’s what director Paul W.S. Anderson had to say on the matter. “There was an early discussion about [filming 5 and 6 back to back], but we just decided to focus on this movie. But if we made another one I do know where it would go. And obviously it would be great to do two full trilogies and just bring everything to an end.

Would the sixth one be a finale then?

Yes. Definitely. Unless of course no one goes to see this one”.

To find out the cast’s reactions and predictions (as well as the reactions of the series’ producers) for the sixth installment, make sure to check out our full Resident Evil: Retribution. There’s also talk of doing a prequel after that so be sure to stay tuned!

The set report will be up in a matter of moments!
