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?
Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
