Paul W.S. Anderson on More “Resident Evil”

He’s not Paul Thomas Anderson, the genius creator of There Will Be Blood, and he’s not Wes Anderson, the genius creator of The Darjeeling Limited. He’s Paul W.S. Anderson, the guy who keeps cranking out Resident Evil movies. Listen to him talking like a big fancy-pants, won’t you?

“I’m just starting to talk to Sony about it,” Anderson confessed. “I don’t even know if anything will come of it, but there’s a possibility it might happen. I love the ‘Resident Evil’ franchise and we always try to make the best possible movie we can. If we could find a good ‘Resident Evil 4’ to make, then we would do it. But I wouldn’t just do it for the sake of it, that’s for sure.”

So a fourth Resident Evil film may be in the works, with many more cloned Milla Jovoviches running around kicking zombie tuchus. One might normally say a line about not just cranking out a sequel for the sake of a sequel might not be applicable to a franchise like Resident Evil, but since it seems to have been done for a renowned saga like Indiana Jones, all bets are off.

Watch the trailer for the most recent film in the franchise, Resident Evil: Extinction.
