While it may be titled Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, does anyone think this is truly the end for Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jojovich's popular franchise? The simple fact is that the long-running adaptation of Capcom's hit video game has made a lot of money, over $900M worldwide, and costs little to produce. So don't be surprised if somewhere down the line Alice is back fighting Umbrella and the zombie apocalypse.
Screen Gems has revealed the film's full cast which of course will be lead by Jojovich as Alice and Ali Larter, confirmed to return last month as Claire Redfield. They'll be joined by the returning Iain Glen (Resident Evil: Extinction) and Shawn Roberts (Resident Evil: Afterlife), Aussie actress Ruby Rose (Orange is Is the New Black), Eoin Macken, William Levy, Fraser James, and Japanese model/TV personality Rola.
Here's the official synopsis: Picking up immediately after the events in Resident Evil: Retribution, humanity is on its last legs after Alice is betrayed by Wesker in Washington D.C. As the only survivor of what was meant to be humanity’s final stand against the undead hordes, Alice must return to where the nightmare began – Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is gathering its forces for a final strike against the only remaining 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.
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter will be released in January 2017.
