Production is slated to begin later this week on Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, and franchise star Milla Jovovich has shared a new photo from the set of a makeup test for her character, Alice. Check it out below along with another tease.
Jovovich leads the cast of the film once again. She’s joined by Ali Larter and Wentworth Miller (who, as of late, has been menacing “The Flash” as Captain Cold) in the roles of Claire and Chris Redfield, respectively. With production set to begin soon, expect more casting announcements for the film to be revealed in the coming days.
Production on Resident Evil: The Final Chapter will take place in a number of locations with Cape Town, South Africa being one of many used for the sixth and (supposed) last part in the long-running Resident Evil franchise. Paul W.S. Anderson is set to return for his fourth outing as director and writer of the Screen Gems franchise. The film will open in theaters on January 27, 2017.
Currently the series is the highest-grossing franchise based on a video game, with over $915 million at the global box office across the five films. The last film to see release was Resident Evil: Retribution in 2012.
