RESIDENT EVIL Fans Will Contribute Ideas For Fifth Film

Fans of the horror/video-game franchise have a lot to cheer about. Not only did Resident Evil: Afterlife 3-D open this weekend in the number one position with $27 million, but it became the largest opening yet for the four film series. That is not too bad considering Piranha 3- D, the other 3- D, “R” rated horror film this year, only managed a sixth place opening with a measly $10 million. Now fans will be treated to yet another piece of good news: The fans will be deciding what will happen in the fifth film. Who better to let fans know this news but Milla Jovovich herself. Read on for what she has to say about a promised fifth movie.

In an interview with the ass-kicking star and money-maker for the series, Milla Jovovich tells New York Magazine that, “we’re definitely going to make another one.” Milla’s husband and director of the first and fourth film, Paul W.S. Anderson (who also directed the criminally underrated Event Horizon), claims he has ideas for a fifth but also wants fans to contribute as well. Milla explains, “We’ve been talking to a lot of fans on Twitter and stuff, so it’s probably going to be one of the first movies where we really talk to fans to see what they want, and what characters they want to see. It’s going to be a more interactive process.” Regardless of how you feel about the franchise as a whole … you have to admit… that sounds pretty awesome. Last month, we heard a similar approach when the studio behind the upcoming sequel to Piranha 3-D asked fans who they wanted to see killed in the sequel. The fact that directors as well as studios are taking a new approach by incorporating fans into the film-making process, is pretty revolutionary. So if you are a fan of the horror/video-game series, Milla says the ball is in your court. If the fifth film stinks worse than a rotting zombie corpse … we will know who to blame.
