Information on the next Resident Evil movie

There was a screening of Resident Evil in London last night after which director Paul WS Anderson and producer Jeremy Bolt did a Q&A session with the audience, the main points of interest being... Anderson is currently writing the Alien Vs. Predator movie (sadly we weren't given any more info on this as it was the last thing they said before the end). There will be a second edition of the Resident Evil DVD, likely to be a 2 disc set with more extras than the original DVD version, towards the end of the year. It will include an alternate ending.

Resident Evil 2: Nemesis will see the return of the dogs and the Licker from the first film along with 2 new creatures from the games, Milla Jovovich's Alice character will meet Jill Valentine (marrying up the world of the movie with the world/characters of the games), the film will take place over one night in Raccoon City and will be "very Omega Man"; Anderson said he'd be interested to see the response from film certification boards to the violence in the sequel being above ground and set in the real world as opposed to the violence in the original being in an underground fanatsy environment, to which censors in some countries were quite lenient. A role for Jason Isaacs has been written into the RE2 script with another "great death scene" following demises in previous Anderson films Event Horizon and Soldier."
