Paul W. S. Anderson continues to be a major force behind the Resident Evil series. A tradition set with the original movie released in 2002 that saw Anderson write, produce and direct. Still no Alfred Hitchcock inspired cameos by Anderson.
The story goes global this time round, seeing Alice travel to Tokyo, New York, Washington DC and Moscow. Fighting zombie hordes all over the world Alice continues her hunt to find those responsible for the outbreak. A journey that takes the ultimate twist, turning Alice’s world upside down.
The official plot synopsis reads “The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by new found allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun.”
Filmed during October to December 2011 in Canada, the film saw a temporary explosion in the Canadian zombie population. Sony and Constantin Films brought in the highest quality re-animated extras to set.
Starting life as a Capcom video game Resident Evil made the transition to the silver screen in 2002.
