Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Found this over at horrordvd.com:
Paul Anderson has already began to cast the leads in RE2. Milla Jovovich and Eric Mabius have already been CONFIRMED for some time now. New cast members will include Mira Sorvino (Mimic), Chris Klien (American Pie), and Asia Argento (XxX).
It's rumored that Sarah Michelle Gellar was so amazed with the first film that she has signed up for the sequel. Also pop singer
Pink will play a role in the film.

Surpisingly, imdb lists the relase date for this movie as July 4, 2003. I'm sure that can easily change and the info may not be that reliable anyways, but that would explain a much bigger name cast.

Pretty bad, and had a huge drop rate. a typical summer movie, but since they can milk the cow a little more, why not a sequel. Maybe this one will have more then 10 minutes of zombie action.

Mira/ Jill
Chris / Leon, or Chris?
But Im still wondering who is going to play this guy...
Albert Wesker
His voice was all over this movie, which was cool, but Id like to see him introduced .

Sure it doesn't live up to zombie classics like Night Of The Living Dead or Dawn Of The Dead - but the film was a different beast altogether. Not so much zombie-horror but a flashy, SFX driven action flick.
Personally, I would have preferred it if the film had retained the same spooky, cling to the ceiling style of the games - but where it failed on that account, I thought Paul Anderson's translation was at least a very fun excercise in popcorn entertainment.

Good, everything the game wasn't.
the game was very much connected to Night of the living dead and those zombie movies. the movie was fine for what it was. but I sure do wish Romero did it.

i generally like anderson's work. soldier was boring but still watchable. mortal kombat was good enough. event horizon is a fantastic horror film.
i saw nothing redeeming in RE though. it seemed like the violence was edited for a PG-13 rating despite being R. the zombie themselves were handled pretty well, but the rest...
i wish anderson would put some distance from the filtered, glossy, MTV style he used.

Sadly he never wore Wesker's trademark shades during his third appearance (though second time we actually see him rather than just hear him -- when he's saying he wants Alice quarantined) but here's hoping he slips them on for the sequel cos he'd be great as Wesker (even though he should not sport blonde hair as it would not suit him)!

The only really decent Resident Evil game was the first one, OP (original playstation) .
The mantion was creepy, the dialogue was cheesy, and the monsters were huge and scary. This seems to be a good formula for a NOTLD rehash and I think it could work. A mantion adds a level of mystery to a deserted house, and the past few haunted mansion stories have been stinkers (13 ghosts, The Haunting, The house on the Haunted Hill). Iwould like to see a haunted mansion story done right, and RE1 could provide the guts.
Okay so i haven't seen the new RE1, but I am going to.
fave quote from RE1 Barry: "You were almost a Jill-sandwich!"
I still laugh everytime i play that game!

I like Milla. I think her best performance has been in "The Claim".
Chris Klien has got to be one of the worst/wooden actors I have ever seen. I am amazed that he keeps getting roles.
