Continuing the Paul W.S. Anderson: the official website has launched, and now only a little while longer until
Resident Evil becomes the first videogame adaptation to make it to a trilogy (non-animated; there have been plenty of
Street Fighter toons and a veritable passel of
Pokemon titles), beating
Mortal Kombat to the high punch. Director is Russell Mulcahy (
Highlander), whose first work was filming a Derek and Clive special. Mulcahy replaces usually-a-DP Alexander Witt (
RE: Apocalypse was his directorial debut and, so far, swan song), who took over for P.W.S. Anderson, who only directed the first, but wrote all three films. Major cast members return, plus Ashanti. There's a thesis to be written on (generally talentless) pop singers/rappers showing up in horror film, or at least a longish blog entry somewhere down the line.
