Well, folks, it was really only a matter of time, and I do mean the above sincerely, because we’re going to need all the help we can get to ensure that Resident Evil 4: Afterlife doesn’t suck sour frog ass.

We can take some small comfort in the reported knowledge that both Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter will be reprising their previous roles as psychic Alice and Claire Redfield, and we can take some further consolation in the knowledge that we’re still going to be in the post-apocalyptic desert on this one ensuring us the best possible chance at full-on dystopia.

However, this being the Resident Evil movie leaves every chance that it’s going to suck, especially considering the lousy time we had with the first two, when it was still crystalline clear that the video game really had nothing to do with the movie except to provide a name for the script.

We’ll get to see how this all comes out when it hits theaters next August.

Having been stuck in development limbo for quite some time now, American McGee’s Alice is seeing a “turnaround” now according to Scott Faye, the film’s producer.

"The Alice project is presently in "turnaround" from Universal Studios. Jon and Erich Hoeber have written a very compelling feature film screenplay adaptation of the Alice game,” he said. “Their screenplay will certainly serve as a jumping off point as we find a new studio home for the project."

He, however, admits that there are still problems: "To be perfectly honest, the script still needs a little bit of work. The downtime since the Hoebers turned in their last draft has allowed me to establish a bit of creative objectivity. I suspect that the next draft of the screenplay will allow the project to take a substantial leap forward toward production."

Faye confirmed that Sarah Michelle Gellar is no longer attached to the project, as is Marcus Nispel who was at one point set to direct the film.
