Yep, that’s right. Not content with producing three absolutely horrendous movies bearing the Resident Evil name, it seems as if Hollywood is getting ready for a fourth, as confirmed by series “star” Milla Jovovich. While speaking to a crowd of paparazzi filth, Jovovich confirmed that the crap movies will be getting a new sequel and that shooting begins soon.
“We’re going to start shooting at the end of the year,” confirms Jovovich in a video contained after the jump. When asked which one it was by a member of the paparazzi scum, Jovovich simply said, “Four.”
Resident Evil: Afterlife was mentioned about three years ago but there thankfully hadn’t been much talk of it since then. Reports say that Jovovich later confirmed that “four” was indeed Afterlife, and that the movie is scheduled to hit theaters on September 17, 2010, whether we like it or not.
I don’t really mind, but every time a new Resident Evil film hits my local movie theater, the local area becomes contaminated for the next four years.

Despite some glaring flaws this clearly fan made teaser trailer is pretty cool. I am always impressed the time that fans will take to make faux clips and trailers for our favorite films.

Drivers slowed and stopped with bemused tolerance as actors dressed as zombies paraded under the railroad bridge on Main Street on June 12. The 16 thespians were students from the Highland Lake-based Margolis Method Center, and they were making a three-minute zombie video as part of the 2009 Digit Exposition.
The exposition, sponsored by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, was held from June 12 through June 14, in various locations in Narrowsburg, and part of the lineup was a “Quick and Gritty Video Slam.” The slam consisted of five videos, each less than three minutes in length and shot during the weekend in Narrowsburg.
One of the performers, Sarah Harwood, said with a wide grin that the zombie filmmakers were “going for a kind of a metaphor. Sometimes, we all walk through life like zombies, so the film is kind of an advocation for living life to the fullest.”
Did they achieve that with their video? Go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4C3hZryQ2E to find out. The film tied for first place along with Cass Collin’s “Narrowsburg at Night.” Each was awarded a $500 prize.
Kari Margolis, founder of the Margolis Method and a co-founder of Margolis Brown Adaptors Company, said the company usually performs in places like New York City, and other places around the world with large venues.
She added, however, that this weekend the company will be staging a show at the Tusten Theater in Narrowsburg on June 20, at 8:00 p.m. It’s billed as a theatrical improvisational performance event. Go to www.margolismethod.org for more on the performance.

It has been announced that Watchmen and X-Men screenwriter, David Hayter, will help develop and write the screenplay for an adaptation of the on-going comic book series, Deadworld. The post-apocalyptic zombie story is being adapted for the big-screen by Dark Horse Studio partners Hayter and Benedict Carver, along with Pandemonium’s Bill Mechanic. As well as writing and developing it, Hayter will also conceive and design the look of the film. Gary Reed, who currently owns the rights through his Caliber Comics company, will exec produce the movie.
Published by Image Comics, Deadworld is set in a post-apocalyptic world where flesh-eating undead rule the earth with humans being very few and far between. The protagonist of the comic is King Zombie, “a Harley-riding corpse who holds a grudge against the survivors who made him an outcast.”
As Matt Goldberg at Collider points out, the only thing that’ll set the Deadworld movie apart from other zombie tales is that it’s told from the perspective of the zombies. However, that still doesn’t stop the comparisons to the likes of Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, Land of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and any other zombie films you can think of. I hope the zombie perspective angle can make it feel original as something like Shaun of the Dead felt, even if at it’s core it’ll just add to the ever-growing zombie movie list.
The Deadworld comic became noted for it’s gory artwork, both on the cover and on the inside pages. Although even if they translate literally what’s on the page to the big-screen, it won’t be that shocking in today’s movie-going age where we have gore-fests like the Hostel and Saw series’. I still hope they keep it consistent from page-to-screen. With Hayter involved, who practically co-translated Watchmen page-for-page from graphic novel to movie, I think the source material will be kept pretty faithful to.

Halloween 2 sees the return of Malcolm McDowell, once again playing Dr. Loomis, the man we presumed was dead at the end of Rob Zombie’s remake. Yep, he’s back, pimping a new book about his experience with Michael Myers until he comes face to face with the killer one more time. Below is a new photo of McDowell with actress Mary Birdsong who plays his publicist Nancy.
