Back in 1998, director Paul W.S. Anderson and producer Jeremy Bolt made the infamous sci-fi action movie
Soldier, starring Kurt Russell. A notorious flop, it gave Anderson some downtime to consider his next move. I couldn’t get hold of Paul for weeks, Bolt told
Empire in 2016. Eventually he returned my calls and I asked him what he’d been doing and he said, ‘I’ve been playing
Resident Evil! We have to make the movie!’ He’d literally been up all night for weeks playing this game.
That film arrived in 2002 and has spawned, to date, five increasingly bonkers sequels and a reboot that’s due in December.

Review: Raya and the Last Dragon Wants You to Have a Little Trust
It’s not entirely clear that
Raya and the Last Dragon‘s story issues knowingly mirror its actual plot. But they do. Like its five fantasy lands that have become bitterly divided, Raya threads familiar elements from many obvious influences in a way that only really comes together at the end. There’s a

Milla Jovovich Would Always Love to Return to the Resident Evil Franchise
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, hit theaters in 2016, seemingly bringing the journey of Milla Jovovich s Alice to an end, but the concept is far from dead, as a new reboot film is being developed, in addition to both a live-action and animated series in the works.
