Latest News About Resident Evil III

Paul W.S. Anderson spoke exclusively with Now Playing Magazine earlier this week and let loose with the status of a possible Resident Evil 3 film.

Anderson revealed that "It's still just a concept at the moment. The second movie did better business than the first movie did, so obviously there's talk of doing a third film. When I made the first movie, I always wanted to see it as a trilogy. I always had a vision for a trilogy of films, and the way I imagined it was that the first movie would be a prequel to the videogames, the second movie would be set in the same timeframe as the videogames, specifically Resident Evil: Nemesis, and then the third movie I always saw as kind of a sequel, or a postscript, to the videogames, set slightly after the time of the videogames. So it's something I would definitely like to do, but we're still kind of in negotiations. But there's definitely a will to make the movie, that's for sure."

Anderson is also developing another videogame adaptation entitled "Driver" which he may direct. He says "We don't have a screenplay I feel happy with yet. We're still kind of in the development phase of that. [And] at the moment I'm producing a movie for John Fawcett, who made Ginger Snaps, called The Dark. And next year I'm producing a movie for Corey Yuen which is an adaptation of DOA, the Xbox title."
