Resident Evil Retribution

After wrapping up filming of The Three Musketeers, director Paul W S Anderson went right on to his next project, Resident Evil 5 also known as Resident Evil: Retribution.

Like the rest of the series it will fallow Alice (played by Milla Jovovich) through the post- apocalyptic world filled with zombies.

There hasn’t been much released about the movie but through interviews with director Anderson and star Jovovich I have pieced together the following.

There will be some new cast added to the movies. The cast will play iconic Resident Evil characters Ada Wong (played by Bingbing Li), Leon S Kennedy (played by Johann Urb) and Barry Burton (played by Kevin Burand).

There will be cast returning that was previously thought to be dead. They are Carlos Olvera (played by Oded Fehr from Resident Evil 2 and 3) also it is rumored that Rain Ocampo played by Michelle Rodriguez , last seen is the first Resident Evil turning all zombie like then being killed by Matt Addison (played by Eric Mabius). So maybe there will be some flash back scenes to the first movie.

Also returning is Sienna Guillory’s Jill Valentine, Boris Kodjoe’s Luther West and Shawn Roberts’ Albert Wesker (you really didn’t he died last time around did you?)

The movie will return to Raccoon City, the ground zero of the zombie outbreak. This is proven by set photos tweeted by Jovovich. Now this could be in flash backs to the first two films or they may go and revisit for old times’ sake.




Anderson has said that he get some inspiration from the games, and that he wants to have the zombie’s to be infected by the Las Plagas and that he wants the undead to “run around, ride motorbikes, and shoot machine guns.” He is also planning a chase scene that is taken from the fifth game “where the characters are driving in a Hummer through the desert and they’re being chased by zombies shooting machine guns on motorbikes. We’ve taken that and we’ve kind of run with it. We’re not gonna use a Hummer this time we’re gonna use a Rolls Royce Phantom, cause no one’s ever done a car chase with a Rolls Royce Phantom before. And I’ve discovered why, because it’s really, really expensive.”

If the movie fallows the trends of the first four then it should be a great action flick, but not stay true the video game series at all. Like how Alice is the star of the movie series but does not appear at all during the games. But that is a rant for another day.

Resident Evil Retribution is due to come out next summer.
