Fifth Resident Evil movie in the works, scheduled for 2012

[Nemesis]

 

Like the zombies it's based off of, the Resident Evil movie franchise will not die. Although the fifth film has yet to be subtitled, it does have a date. "Resident Evil 5" will be in theaters -- in 3D, of course -- on September 14, 2012.

 

There's good reason for the hastened production schedule for yet another sequel. According to Box Office Mojo, last year's Resident Evil film, Afterlife, was the highest grossing in the series, generating over $236 million, which is "about as much as the first three movies combined," the site notes. Afterlife enjoyed success in international markets and generated additional revenue through its 3D presentations. According to the report, about 80 percent of Afterlife's domestic revenue came from its extra-dimensional screenings.

 

With the success of Resident Evil on the silver screen, it's no surprise Capcom and Sony Pictures are trying to strike gold again. In addition to Resident Evil, a Devil May Cry film is also in the works.

For the big fans I hope you all noticed that Wesker parachuted out of the plane before it exploded.

I have loved the last two Resident Evil games, but in my opinion every movie since the first one has sucked.

I just hate the whole somehow we keep finding more and more people. I mean seriously that and if the freaking world is done for with all those zombies whats the point of doing all that research yea you control the zombie world but that's like being the only guy on a tennis court just no point.

You and me both. Even my wife is excited. She's watched me play all the RE games. In Afterlife when they show Chris for the first time, she called him out before his name was said.
