Speaking to Collider, director Paul W.S. Anderson has revealed that he has begun work on the sixth Resident Evil movie. The film is currently without a name, but Anderson’s working title is Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, so we might be looking at the final Resident Evil film adaptation:
“Resident Evil: The Final Chapter may end up being the final title, but that’s what’s written on the front page of my script. I’m right in the middle of [the first draft].”
And like the previous films in the franchise, Anderson plans to film Resident Evil: The Final Chapter in 3D:
“I firmly believe that you have to start thinking about the 3D even in the writing process. You cannot make a great 3D movie by just—it’s not some special sauce that you can sprinkle on. You make the dish and then you make hot sauce on top—it doesn’t work well like that. Yes, you can do a last minute conversion. You can not shoot the movie thinking about 3D and do a last minute conversion and it can be a 3D movie, it’s just not gonna be a great 3D movie.”
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter doesn’t have a set release date yet, but when asked if it’ll premiere in 2015 or 2016, Anderson replied: “Depends how fast I write, I guess.”
