Another RESIDENT EVIL movie is coming. They say this is the last one. Maybe we'll get lucky and someone will stick to their word.
RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER is set to arrive in January, ringing in the finale of the series that has seen Milla Jovovich's Alice do battle with the evil Umbrella Corporation over the span of what will amount to six films. (Wow… They've done six of these bad boys?!) And while this video game adaptation has never been my cup of tea, the RESIDENT EVIL franchise has proven to be a steady performer for Screen Gems. Every entry opens to $20-something million and #1 for the weekend, and so they've kept making them to this point.
But all stories must come to an end, and Paul W.S. Anderson has gotten about all he can out of this franchise – hence, THE FINAL CHAPTER. Those interested in seeing how things get wrapped up will get a taste this week when the first trailer drops, but, for now, Milla Jovovich opening fire in a ring of fire for the teaser poster will have to hold you until then.
RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER opens on January 27, 2017.
