Before the Resident Evil franchise is, rightfully, rebooted, we're going to have one more foray into the half-assed world of clones, superpowers and convoluted, half-baked ideas courtesy of Paul W.S. Anderson. Read on for a full cast list and plot breakdown.

Sony Screen Gems has announced that Wentworth Miller (Prison Break), Norman Yeung and Kacey Barnfield will join up alongside returning cast members Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter and Spencer Locke to battle legions of the undead. Miller will play Chris Redfield, brother of Claire (Larter) and badass member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team. Shawn Roberts will play Albert Wesker, a rogue company man with powers that rival Alice's.

Thankfully, Mike Epps will remain dead.

Official Synopsis:

In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, ALICE (Milla Jovovich), continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend. A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead leads them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive the city is overrun by thousands of Undead and Alice and her comrades are about to step into a deadly trap.

Yeah, so did I.

Man, I wish they would just reboot the entire series and port the game over 100%... they're good enough to be movies by themselves.

Don't get me wrong, I like (sorta) these movies, but I think Alice is just way to powerful... and it bugs me that when they introduce ACTUAL characters from the games they make them weak and crappy....

just my .02 though

Well after the next movie they are rebooting it with a new outlook at the series

So, if they know their going to reboot the franchise, will Afterlife have a proper ending? Or will it end in another cliffhanger that will never span out?

Yeah I would assume it will end with a good end to the story

Beauty queen Milla Jovovich is currently up in Toronto returning once again as Alice in Sony Screen Gems' Resident Evil: Afterlife, which is being helmed by Paul W.S. Anderson for 3-D release on August 27, 2010. This morning she began to tweet from set. "wow, just finished a scene with Ali Larter and Wentworth Miller on a skiff approaching the huge ship.to say its cold is a joke.a bitter joke," she writes adding, "ofcourse Ali and I aren't wearing much and to make matters worse Wenty is driving the boat himself and crashing it repeatedly! lol!" You can keep up with Milla by clicking here.

The second one was the only one that felt anything like the game series at all.

An army of Alice clones? I'm sure there will be better to spend my 9 dollars on.

Here's hoping the reboot follows the game series a little more closely and it's a *horror* franchise. They should call it Biohazard to disassociate itself from the current RE series.

I like the old games much better than the last 2 movies and if they got back to the actual game story it would be better also.

Although, I would be happy if they made a 30 Min slideshow of Milla with a pic of a random Zombie or RE game character alternating :)

Speaking of this, I think Capcom should just make another RE CGI movie like with Degradation, I liked RE5 as well but after the events in that I have to wonder if the original plot/story is now over, but I doubt that.

More Leon and Ada plz.

Milla Jovovich has been keeping awfully busy on the set of Resident Evil: Afterlife. Besides acting as the lead on the flick, she's been posting frequent Twitter updates as to what's going on at the shoot, now lensing in Toronoto.

"One of the scenes we're shooting today is the last scene in the movie and the guys had to invent something that could take a 3d camera that high and far," she Tweeted this morning. "The technology we're using is all so new and cutting edge that you can't just buy rigs premade to get the shots we want! Its so exciting though, to think that we're inventing things on this movie that will probably be standard in 5 years time!"

Later, she continued with "I fly a small aircraft in this film and they did a shot of it landing on the boat we're on the night before last and get this, all the people who live in the skyscrapers around the harbor phoned 911 reporting a plane crash on the ship! how rad! they got HUNDREDS of call!"

Apparently things are coming along nicely according to this later Tweet, "So cool! (Director) Paul (W.S. Anderson) just told us the dailys from the last few days look INCREDIBLE!!! (dailys is the latest footage that's been shot already)"

Most recently, she wrote, "They were of the big action sequence with Alice and Claire fighting THE EXECUTIONER who in reality is an 8 ft. tall heavy weight boxer! He has a HUGE axe and we're in a prison shower, so every time he swings the axe, showers explode! So thru the whole scene its literally raining! so beautiful!"

The next chapter, being lensed in 3-D, find Paul W.S. Anderson returning to the director's chair working from his own script. Spencer Locke, Shawn Roberts, Boris Kodjoe, Kim Coates, Norman Yeung and Kasey Barnfield co-star. More when we hear it.

STYD

Milla Jovovich is still Tweeting from the set of this movie, and among other things, she explains that her new costume includes a leather gun harness and a "butt bra." And those mysterious figures in all white are "Pod People," who've been subjected to horrific Umbrella Corp. experiments. [ShockTillYouDrop]

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
