Evil sequel

The sequel to the game-based survival action movie Resident Evil is still lurching along like a brain-hungry zombie. Milla Jovovich returns (hopefully still naked except for a white lab coat) as Alice, the heroine from the first film. Joining her will be some characters from the actual RE game, in particular original RE femme fatale Jill Valentine. What is surprising is that the 'Master of Unlocking' will be a central character in the story. Just who will play as Miss Valentine is still under wraps; rumor has it that Famke Jansen (Jean Grey from X2) and Allyson Hannigan (Buffy's Willow) are in the running. According to news reports, two more RE game characters will also appear, though details are yet scarce- the names Chris Redfield and Albert Wesker (RE's original game hero and villain, respectively) are being thrown around. Looks like they're really linking both the film and the game this time around.
Anyway with the first movie being a relatively decent adaptation of the game and a pretty good action flick (having a near-naked Milla doesn't hurt either) I am actually excited at the prospect of this follow up. We expect Resident Evil: Apocalypse (formerly Resident Evil: Nemesis) to infect theaters by the end of the year or next year.
