Last week, it was revealed that Sony will release a sixth Resident Evil movie on September 12th, 2014. There were no additional details at the time, but it has been confirmed that the franchise's two main players will return.
First Showing is reporting that both Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich will return for the sequel, with Anderson directing once again. Like the last two installments, we're expecting another 3D release and it will no doubt continue the events from the last movie.
Paul W.S. Anderson directed the first Resident Evil film, and returned to helm Resident Evil: Afterlife and Resident Evil: Retribution. Although the report didn't mention anything about him writing Resident Evil 6, he wrote the scripts for all five of the previous installments, so it's pretty much a given at this point.
With the release date only 18 months away, the project should start to come together pretty quickly. We'll report back when story or casting details are announced.
