A couple days ago Marcey treated us to the official synopsis for Paul W.S. Anderson’s RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION and now here I sit with news on when we’ll be seeing the trailer!
Yeah, I know the title has the number “5” in it now but that’s just stupid so I’m not typing that. RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION works just fine. But now onto the trailer! According to Milla Jovovich herself via her Twitter account (of course), the trailer for RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION will be dropping on January 18th before hitting theaters in 3D in front of UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING on the 20th. Don’t take my word for it though, peep the ‘tweet’ from Jovovich:
“So I jst asked paul and he said 4 SURE the teaser 4 “RE:Retribution” is coming out on the 18th of jan! I’m sure it will b online. Then on the 20th it comes out in 3D in front of the new “underworld” movie! So there you go folks n now I’m over and out, going on vacation with my family 4 a week! Tweet u later! Xo m ”
So there you have it folks! Jovovich has spent months teasing us about RETRIBUTION and now we’ll finally get the chance to see this bad larry in action. Is it weird that I’m this excited? Eh, whatever.
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.
Along with Jovovich the 3D film will also star Sienna Guillory, Colin Salmon, Shawn Roberts, Michelle Rodriguez, Johann Urb, Oded Fehr, Kevin Durand and Li Bingbing (below). It’s due to smash into theaters on September 14, 2012.
