Update: Resident Evil: Afterlife Pushed Back to 2011
Source:ShockTillYouDrop.com
December 7, 2009
Update: Actress Milla Jovovich provided an update via Twitter that states: "RE Afterlife IS NOT officially pushed. There have been talks of pushing it as they [are] not sure they can have it ready by July. We [are] trying as hard as we can to still meet the summer deadline though, so for the moment its still on for August." However, we're still hearing a release push is going to happen, but hopefully Jovovich is right.
Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich have been working hard on the fourth installment of the "Resident Evil" franchise a.k.a. Resident Evil: Afterlife, planned as the first movie in the series filmed using 3D technology. It looks like it's going to take a little more time to make that movie then they had planned, because ShockTillYouDrop.com has learned that Screen Gems has pushed the movie back until January 14, 2011.
Originally, the movie was to be released in on August 27, 2010, but everyone involved probably realized it would take a lot longer for the post-production 3D processing work, so they've given Anderson a few more months to finish the movie and have moved the comic book-based vampire thriller Priest, starring Paul Bettany, up to fill that late summer slot.
What's interesting about this move is that it puts "Resident Evil" right up against the Joss Whedon-produced and co-written MGM horror movie The Cabin in the Woods, which itself was moved back almost a year in order to turn it into a 3D movie. One figures that in 2011 there will be a lot more theaters capable of screening in digital 3D than there is now, but one has to assume "Cabin" will move again, because there might not be enough for two horror movies to share them.

you cannot call that trash which are the resident evil movies "Horror". They are just crap, kung fu action and rip offs of everything except the games. For teeny boppers I guess, the twilight crowd probably loves them.

Maybe they could keep pushing the movie back until it falls off a cliff. For Christ sake, the one movie series that ISN'T a trilogy is the one we all want to see die anyway. BOYCOTT THIS MOVIE! They've had three shots now and every time they've screwed up. The pain will never end if they keep making money. I've been there on launch day for all three movies and have realised I'm part of the problem. Lets change it!

This so bums me out. AFTERLIFE was one of the few cool looking movies set for next Summer. I can't wait to read all the articles claiming cinema is dead after next Summer's box office doesn't match previous years. And the bottom line will be the weak ass slate of movies coming out. At least we have THE EXPENDABLES and IRON MAN 2. That's about it.

yeah, i'm kinda tentatively bummed too. i LOVE these ACTION/HORROR movies (there is THAT better Ziggy....feel better now?)! just as long as they don't push it back TOO much. but i'd rather them take another month or 2 (yikes!) and make the movie as good as i think it's going to be, than to rush it out. and MILLA RULES!

No. Noooooooooo!!! I really enjoyed EXTINCTION, so I am looking forward to this one. Now I have to wait longer more than a whole other year. From now to it's release is what I mean.

I guess this means UNDERWORLD 4 is going to be pushed back too, but being they just hired the writer, that was a given. It's still on the sched for like a week later. No way that will happen.

I wonder if they'll ever decide to REBOOT this franchise and make it a tad more faithful to the games...
Posted by: Wesker_1984 on December 8, 2009 at 02:30:29
Just reboot this piece of trash! We need a true adaptation! Just make a trilogy based on the Resident Evil 1, 2 and code Veronica games!
