Game News - Resident Evil: Extinction Could Be The Last Movie

   If you're a fan of Milla Jovovich - as any sane (and preferably male) human being should be - you might be disappointed to learn that her next Resident Evil movie could well be the last one. Even though there were previously some rumours about a fourth film in the game-to-movie series, these were practically squashed by Sony Pictures' latest official synopsis for Resident Evil: Extinction (a.k.a. Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil: Afterlife). According to a report on IGN, the studio refers to the flick as "the third and final installment" of Resident Evil.
"Alice (Milla Jovovich), now in hiding in the Nevada desert, once again joins forces with Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps), along with new survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti) to try to eliminate the deadly virus that threatens to make every human being undead... and to seek justice. Since being captured by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice has been subjected to biogenic experimentation and becomes genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive."    If the movies will truly end as a trilogy, we have every reason to be sad over this, since the Resident Evil films are so far among the very (albeit relative) best movies based on video games.

   Next year's Extinction is said to be related to the story of the upcoming Resident Evil 5 game on PS3 and Xbox 360. Both of them are set in a post-apocalyptic desert environment, and supposedly "fans of the series will be pretty damn happy with a new boss monster that's going to rear its ugly head in the film".

   Capcom's survival horror game series is also expected to make a comeback on the PC early next year with Resident Evil 4, and a Wii compilation of past games called Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles at a later date.
