Here's the answer to that question...
Principal photography has commenced in Toronto on Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth installment (but the first in 3-D) in Screen Gems' games-to-film franchise. The first film's director, Paul W.S. Anderson, is back at the helm, and he also scripted and will produce.
Milla Jovovich returns as Alice while Ali Larter and Spencer Locke reprise their roles from Resident Evil: Extinction as Claire Redfield and K-Mart, respectively.
And, as rumored, Prison Break's Wentworth Miller has been cast as Claire's brother Chris Redfield.
Also new to the cast are Shawn Roberts (I Love You, Beth Cooper), who replaces Jason O'Mara in the role of the villainous Albert Wesker, Boris Kodjoe (Surrogates) and Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy).
Anderson explained in a statement that in Resident Evil: Afterlife, "Alice's battle with The Umbrella Corporation isn't finished. Last time we saw Alice, she let them know she was coming after them. It's time to settle the score."
"The Resident Evil franchise has successfully entertained audiences around the globe and we are pleased to bring yet another installment to fans with the same creative team but this time in 3-D," added Screen Gems' honcho Clint Culpepper.
Resident Evil: Afterlife is slated for a fall 2010 release.
