Sony Pictures has again released a promotional picture for the upcoming film "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter," and this time it shows Alice in her final run from an army of zombie-mutants.
Screen Gems is welcoming 2017 with two huge battle with the undead movies as it brings to cinemas another "Underworld" sequel and the final entry of the "Resident Evil" movie franchise. "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" will conclude the journey of Milla Jovovich as Alice and is set for release on Dec. 23 in Japan and Jan. 27 in the U.S. International screenplay is yet to be announced.
Movie posters and photos of the purported final installment in Paul W.S. Anderson's successful zombie apocalypse franchise were consecutively released featuring Alice's stand against the infected species. However, the recent poster shows a swarm of zombies chasing after her, which only shows how much people were destroyed by the evil Umbrella Corporation.
For "The Final Chapter," the franchise is taking Alice back to its roots, picking up immediately after "Resident Evil: Retribution" on her quest to shut down the nefarious Umbrella Corporation once and for all and stopping the Red Queen from eliminating the few human survivors. Thus, Alice returns to where the nightmare began in Raccoon City.
"Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" reunites Jovovich with other series stars like Ali Larter as her ass-kicking partner, Claire Redfield. The duo is joined by newcomers Shawn Roberts, Ruby Rose, Eoin Macken, William Levy, Fraser James, and Japanese model and personality, Rola.
Completing the home run is Anderson (who also happens to be the real-life partner of Jovovich), the mastermind behind the apocalyptic chaos since the first "Resident Evil" made its way into theaters in 2002. He directed, wrote and produced all six installments. He's one half of the franchise's creative driving force, with lead star and wife Jovovich being the second.
It is expected that the movie will deliver a more realistic aesthetic in a few months' time, with Anderson telling Empire, "It's a more location-driven picture. It gives this movie a reality that some of the others have lacked."
