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.
