'Resident Evil 2' Goes Forth With Sequel


Screen Gems and Constantin Film are going forward with a sequel to last year's action thriller with Resident Evil 2: Nemesis, according to Hollywood Reporter.

The film's star Milla Jovovich will be reprising her role and second unit director Alexander Witt making his feature film directing debut on the project. Like the original, 'Resident Evil 2: Nemesis' will be based on the video game series. It will pick up where the last film left off, with Jovovich reprising her role as Alice, who is left to search for ways to contain a deadly viral outbreak while trying to escape the ruined Raccoon City with fellow survivors.

Paul S. Anderson, who wrote and directed the first installment of 'Evil', wrote the script for the sequel and will produce along with Jeremy Bolt. Production will begin in August in Toronto.
