We recently reported on the impending RESIDENT EVIL 4 here and now we just got a couple of nuggets of info from a VERY RELIABLE source as to the production. Here are hints as to what we're in for!
Paul Anderson wrote the screenplay but he is not coming back to direct.
The screenplay is more akin to RE2 in terms of style, but with better dialogue. The overall tone is also very dark.
There's enough hand to hand fights in the script for them to bring in a martial arts choreographer.
Patrick Tatopoulos (R3) will be in charge of the creature effects and they will have a new Special FX supervisor (in terms of the the practical effects) - Michael Lantieri (JURASSIC PARK 3)
The script is complete (they're at Draft 2)) and they're going to start
casting before making any more script changes.
So far, they will be filming in Toronto and Tokyo. Toronto will actually front
for Alaska.
They will be hiring a director once they have Milla officially signed back on.
resident evil game called PROGRAM ALICE?
Enough hand-to-hand combat for a fight choreographer? Goodness, why? If it was a Dead Rising film (which would be AWESOME - and hilarious), I could see that. But hand-to-hand has never been really used in the games... granted, in RE5, you can now 'knock back' enemies, but before that it was just the knife - which was notorious for taking tens of slices just to kill a normal

The whole Kung-Fu Alice is just a terrible idea. Anderson, I haven't liked your ideas since Event Horizon.
