After debuting at this weekend's Wondercon the first trailer for Resident Evil: Afterlife has arrived. More Milla, more monsters.

Production has commenced on Resident Evil: Afterlife. We can add returning cast member Spencer Locke and new faces Kim Coates and Shawn Roberts to the cast. Bloody Disgusting is reporting that the film's release date has been bumped up two weeks to August 27, 2010.

Boris Kodjoe spoke with Blackfilm.com and revealed that Ali Larter is also returning to the franchise as Claire Redfield, the character she played in Resident Evil: Extinction. Also in the cast is Wentworth Miller from Prison Break.

On his character, Kodjoe said, "I play the leader of the survivors in LA. Milla Jovovich’s character, Alice, is roaming the world looking for survivors and she’s wound up in LA, which has been burning for three years. She comes across an LA jail surrounded be these half-dead [zombies] ... Anyway, she comes across the jail and there’s a couple of survivors and she lands on top of the roof and partners up with me to fight the guys that are coming after them. We’re trying to get all of the survivors out of the jail to safety. We’re starting next week, actually."

Actor Boris Kodjoe has revealed via his Twitter account that he's in Toronto meeting with Paul Anderson about his next job for Resident Evil: Afterlife. "Lots of stunts, shooting guns, monsters," was how he described how he's spending the time.

Kodjoe can be seen in Surrogates, the upcoming Bruce Willis sci-fi actioner opening later this month.

Paul W.S. Anderson has gone on the record with Shock Till You Drop and said that he wants to start a new trilogy of Resident Evil films starting with Afterlife. "I always envisioned Resident Evil as a trilogy of films," the director said while attending Comic-Con 2009. "And we've been very lucky where it's a trilogy where the audience has built and built. I wanted to kick off a brand new trilogy. I'm really exited we're doing it [in 3-D] and we're using the same camera system [James] Cameron used for Avatar. There are a lot of exciting things about this one. I don't regard it as Resident Evil 4, I regard it as a re-tooling and rebirth of the entire franchise."

According to Production Weekly, Paul W.S. Anderson will return to the Resident Evil franchise to direct Afterlife. While he has written the screenplays for all four RE movies, Anderson only directed the first film in the series.

According to a tweet, Resident Evil: Afterlife will film for eight weeks starting September 28 at Cinescape Film Studios in Toronto. Toronto is also where the second film, Resident Evil: Extinction, lensed.

Shock Till You Drop has uncovered information about the fourth Resident Evil movie that's in the early stages of development. According to a Sony insider that spoke with the site the working title for the project is Resident Evil: Afterlife and the targeted release date for the movie is September 17, 2010. The news was taken from a supposed internal Sony memo. No additional information was available so it's still anyone's guess as to whether Milla Jovovich will reprise her role as Alice or if Paul W.S. Anderson will be involved any further than his participation as the film's screenwriter.

Even though practically everyone associated with the third film said that this would be their last Resident Evil, we now have official confirmation that at least one of them is working on a fourth movie. In an interview with the Sunday Sun, first Resident Evil director and screenwriter of all three pictures Paul W.S. Anderson talks about what's in his future after becoming a new father (his wife is RE actress Milla Jovovich.) Anderson mentions that he's currently writing a screenplay for Long Good Friday and then after that "I will probably write Resident Evil 4."
