Rumor: Resident Evil 4 Still On ?
JoBlo’s horror section Arrow in the Head has received some updates on the production of Resident Evil 4.
“Paul Anderson wrote the screenplay but he is not coming back to direct. The screenplay is more akin to RE2 in terms of style, but with better dialogue. The overall tone is also very dark. There’s enough hand to hand fights in the script for them to bring in a martial arts choreographer. Patrick Tatopoulos (Resident Evil: Extinction, Underworld Series) will be in charge of the creature effects and they will have a new Special FX supervisor (in terms of the the practical effects) - Michael Lantieri (Jurassic Park III) The script is complete (they’re at Draft 2)) and they’re going to start casting before making any more script changes. So far, they will be filming in Toronto and Tokyo. Toronto will actually front for Alaska. They will be hiring a director once they have Milla officially signed back on.”
I never saw the third film, Resident Evil: Extinction but I have it on my Netflix list for the Blu-ray copy. I a not opposed to a fourth film, especially with Anderson writing the screenplay. I also think Tatopulos should direct the film as well be in charge of creature effects. He did a really good job directing Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.
