Resident Evil 3 Movie Possible
August 18th 2004 -
According to SciFi Wire, Paul W.S. Anderson, who wrote and produced the soon-to-be-released Resident Evil II has said he would like the opportunity to oversee a third installment in the franchise.
"I think it's a franchise that has legs, and I would very much like to see a third movie," the filmmaker said in an interview. "I don't know if I'd direct it. I think it would have to depend on what happens."
Anderson wrote, directed and produced the first Resident Evil movie, which met with reasonably good success in the box office. Anderson, who passed up directing the second installment as he was working on Alien vs. Predator, added:
Either way, whether I directed it or not, it would be a franchise I would want to stay very much in control of and very involved in. There's a broad range of stories to tell, a very wide Resident Evil universe, so there are a lot of potential stories that we could do that would be tied in to the video games."
This is fairly good news to those of us who follow the Zombie movie sub-genre. Although I enjoyed the first Resident Evil, from all the negative reviews I’ve heard in regards to Alien vs. Predator, I’m a little bit leery of what Mr. Anderson might do with the third movie. However, I guess we will all just have to wait and see!
