Resident Evil: The Final Chapter Ali Larter Milla Jovovich Ruby Rose

The clock is running down on the RESIDENT EVIL film franchise; the sixth and final (so the title claims) entry in the series, RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER, is set to reach theatres on January 27th. But before we get to the ending, there are going to be some new beginnings and introductions to characters we haven't met before.

A newly released featurette highlights one of those new characters, a woman named Abigail. Played by Australian model/DJ Ruby Rose, who is probably best known for her role on the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black, Abigail is presented as being quite a tough monster fighter in this featurette. Rose herself discusses her character and hypes up the film a bit, with writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson and franchise heroine Milla Jovovich also providing some comments along the way.

Picking up right where the previous film, RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION, left off, THE FINAL CHAPTER

finds humanity is on its last legs. Alice must return to Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is preparing for a final strike against the survivors of the apocalypse.

In a race against time Alice will join forces with old friends, and an unlikely ally, in an action packed battle with undead hordes and new mutant monsters. Between losing her superhuman abilities and Umbrella’s impending attack, this will be Alice’s most difficult adventure as she fights to save humanity, which is on the brink of oblivion.

Jovovich and Rose are joined in the cast by Ali Larter, Iain Glen, Shawn Roberts, Eoin Macken, William Levy, Fraser James, Rola, and Lee Joon-gi.

RESIDENT EVIL isn't the only franchise Ruby Rose has infiltrated: she's also in the January 20th release xXx: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE, and on February 10 she'll be fighting Keanu Reeves in JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2.

For now, meet Abigail –
