Screen Gems has released the official synopsis for Resident Evil: Retribution or should we say Re5ident Evil: Retribution...
"The wildly successful film franchise adaptation that has grossed nearly $700 million worldwide to the popular video game series, Resident Evil, returns in its highly anticipated fifth installment, RE5IDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION in state-of-the art 3D.
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 newfound 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."
Just to make sure that this wasn't a typo or joke, IGN has confirmed with Screen Gems that it really is going to be referred to as Re5ident Evil: Retribution, but either title spelling is correct. We think we'll pass on referring to it as "Re5ident Evil" in the headlines.
Resident Evil: Retribution is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and will be released on September 14th. The film stars Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Colin Salmon, Sienna Guillory, Boris Kodjoe, Oded Fehr, Shawn Roberts, Kevin Durand, and Johann Urb.
