In today’s most unsurprising bit of news, STYD reports that Sony is planning on releasing a fourth Resident Evil movie dubbed Resident Evil: Afterlife in theaters by September 17, 2010. The site notes that the date is from an internal memo circulating around Sony’s offices. They later updated their article with confirmation that the release date is real.
It’s not surprising to expect a fourth movie after the third one’s ending left the door wide open. As can be inferred from the ending, Afterlife will take place in Tokyo, Japan and possibly a few other international locales with multiple copies of Mila Jovovich fighting it out.
However, it is still not known if W.S. Anderson is onboard to direct, and whether Jovovich herself will reprise her role. But then again, seeing as how all three have been successful so far, everyone is likely to return for a fourth film.
