MTV Movies Blog › Resident Evil: Afterlife

Long before "Resident Evil: Afterlife" was even being pitched, the first video game etched some ridiculous lines and voice acting into its players' memories. MTV Multiplayer Editor Russ Frushtick decided to see how well the latest film's seasoned cast members could do reading lines such as "It might be handy if you, the Master of Unlocking, take it with you," and try as they might, Milla Jovovich, Boris Kodjoe and Ali Larter weren't able to save them. The results were hilarious, however.

We at the MTV blogs looked at the exercise as a history lesson for the thespians, though. They all seemed to get into the parts, and you definitely can't knock them for a lack of energy. Milla Jovovich might even be able to take over all of Capcom's voice-acting duties the next time they decide to make a game sequel.

Until then, witness her spirited attempt to nail the line "Whoa, this hall is dangerous!" in the video clip above, and I think you can tell that she's completely internalized what it's like to be trapped in a building full of undead biohazard creatures roaming around trying to gut her.

Meanwhile, I'd actually love to see an edition made available of first "RE" with the part of Barry Burton recast using Kodjoe. Give a listen to his execution of the hallway warning, and I think you'll agree.

What do you think of the "Resident Evil: Afterlife" cast's attempts to save the first game's script? Let us know in the comments and on Twitter!

For those heading out to see "Resident Evil: Afterlife" this weekend, you'll undoubtedly get your fill of creepy zombies, bloody death/action sequences and gorgeous actresses kicking undead butt, but for the more astute viewers, you'll also enjoy the unique melodic stylings of the film's composers TomandAndy.

When I caught up with Tom Hadju recently- one half of the dynamic composing duo - he discussed how they came up with their unique blended score, why it's different from a normal cinematic compositions and what attracts them to scoring genre films and other properties. Read more...

If you're reading this as it published (assuming my blog robots did their job) then I am most definitely asleep. You, however, are not. So why not hit play and watch the red carpet shenanigans at the Tokyo premiere of "Resident Evil: Afterlife"? The movie comes to U.S. theaters next Friday, September 10, but this ought to tide you over for now.

Note that the carpet festivities begin at 4:30am eastern time. If you hit play earlier you'll still see some "Resident Evil" material, but the main show should kick in when it starts.

"Resident Evil: Afterlife" is confirmed as the next chapter in the zombie series, a rare success case in the world of video game-to-film adaptations. It may not be a monumentally successful franchise along the lines of "Twilight" or "Harry Potter," but "Resident Evil" movies have a habit of performing well with audiences whenever they're released.

What we know so far: the shoot is already underway, with a planned 3-D release for the movie late next year. Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter will reprise their roles as Alice and Claire Redfield, respectively.

"Resident Evil: Afterlife," the upcoming fourth installment in the video game-turned-film franchise, is set to lens in Toronto next month with a prison-centric plot -- and luckily for our zombie-fighting heroes, there's one guy coming aboard that's had some experience in the big house.

In an interview with Black Film, actor Boris Kodjoe revealed that he'll star in the upcoming "Resident Evil" film alongside Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter, both of whom return in their roles as Alice and Claire Redfield, respectively. But Kodjoe also threw an entirely new actor in the mix: none other than Wentworth Miller, the star of the recently concluded "Prison Break" television series. Read more...

All sorts of news flying around the web today. Some of this would have run earlier on the blog, had it not been for a midday technical SNAFU. Here's a round-up of what we missed:

-- I don't know if it's the "first" to hit the web (I'm pretty sure it's not), but IGN UK have posted their review of "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra." It's mostly high praise for Stephen Sommers' high-energy action flick, and I couldn't be more pleased. I'd been feeling uneasy about "Joe" in recent months, but all of those fears were literally BLOWN THE EFF UP when I saw the movie myself this past weekend. (IGN UK)

-- "Monster Squad" director Fred Dekker revealed at a weekend screening of his family-friendly classic that he's currently hard at work on a script for "Cliffhanger 2." For those who don't recall, "Cliffhanger" stars Sylvester Stallone as a mountain climbing rescue worker who ends up pursuing an international gang of thieves along snowy mountain peaks. Word emerged back in May that a reboot was in the works, and now it looks like we have further confirmation. (FirstShowing) Read more...
