I didn’t even know they were making another one of these. My friends and I got a kick out of the first one (I was a fan of the original video games going back to the Playstation 1).

The sequel was terrible, and I’d hope this one would have to be an improvement over it. Anyway, Resident Evil Extinction has some good news and some bad news. The good news is that it is directed by Russell Mulcahy who directed the original Highlander. The bad news is that it is directed by Russell Mulcahy who directed Highlander 2. Yeesh…

The cast looks pretty cool, with Milla Jovovich returning, along with Oded Fehr and Ali Larter (”Heroes”).

Plot Summary:

The third and final installment of the $100 million “Resident Evil” hits, “Resident Evil: Extinction” is again based on the wildly popular video game series and picks up where the last film left off.

Alice (Milla Jovovich), now in hiding in the Nevada desert, once again joins forces with Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps), along with new survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti) to try to eliminate the deadly virus that threatens to make every human being undead… and to seek justice.

Since being captured by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice has been subjected to biogenic experimentation and becomes genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive.

Let’s hope this one reclaims some cool from the awful sequel and improves upon the first film. More news as I get it!
