It’s definitely exceeded my expectations on every level.

I’ve seen some of the dailies and it looks beautiful. Rick our stuntman is amazing in making us as believable as possible. I’ve worked with gun on different movies. I do have a couple runs in with the undead and I shoot the shit out of them.Īli Larter: We did a little bit. I have my Beretta and some knives but my role isn’t as much to the action, but keeping people together and organizing it like the General. Alice gets to kick ass in this! Milla is so amazing and she cuts the most mythic figure. With the video games, there is its own mythology and with this I had to come up with my own choices and ideas of what I thought was the best way to play this role.Īli Larter: Not as much as Alice. Also with the mannerisms, we didn’t discuss it. For me, I think it would be silly if I were wearing the same things in the desert trying to survive. We’re out in the desert now and not confined to one area. They are taking on a more realistic, hyper-real world. Did you use your character?Īli Larter: No, I think with this movie they are going in a different direction than the first one and the second one. Q: In RE2, Siena played Jill and she talked about how Jeremy and Paul wanted her to use some of the physical characteristics of her game character. It’s actually a great day to be here on set because we don’t have that many scenes where we are all together. It’s a discussion about that and what’s the best move for us at this point. I’m not worried about the characters that are strong, but the pregnant mothers and the children – if they can make that journey. At this point, I have become the leader of the convoy and it is my job to keep these people safe.

The discussion is about a journal entry that says there is an area in Alaska that is safe, where the infection hasn’t reached yet. We’ve had a little conversation about how I feel about her entering into our convoy. So it’s like cargo pants, a tank top, baseball cap, glasses and anything to hold my guns – anything that is realistic in these kinds of predicaments.Īli Larter: Yes, today we are doing Alice has just arrived and saved us from this attack from the crows. If you look at it, we could be stopping at different stores that are deserted and you pick up clothes that you need when you are living in those kinds of grave circumstances. We’ve been traveling through the desert just trying to survive. People have an idea of what they want her to be and red hair is just one more thing to help bridge that gap and help them take the journey with me in the movie.Īli Larter: No and I’m so glad about that. For people that are truly passionate about the games, it’s important to have the resemblance to Claire Redfield. I think when I decided to join this project, I had spoken to Paul and Jeremy and it was really important to them that they were bringing in a character that was part of video games. Q: Is your hair color changed for this role?Īli Larter: Yeah, very much. Someone lays into her with a toughie, right away. Larter, not yet in costume, joins the press and sits for a few questions. Time to direct: "In character! In the moment! – Action!" Time to play: Jovovich hugs Mulcahy between takes, and teases him about his accent – "How do you say 'man' in Australian?" "I didn't know it was so much fun shooting in a truck on a blue screen stage," says Mulcahy, laughing. She's sharing in some shenanigans with her director, Aussie Russell Mulcahy (he of Razorback and The Highlander fame). Larter's not working till later today, so before we talk to her in the lounge area, we check out Jovovich doing a scene set inside the cab of a truck. Right now, we're about to interview a pre-Heroes Ali Larter (the show's pilot would debut the next month, at 2006's Comic-Con). Potato Head zombies."īut today, there are no undeads on the set. Always on the go, Redlefsen and his crew have been hard at work on this shoot, "moving appliances from face to face - like Mr.

Well, "that look just didn't work." The dried eye sockets didn't read (so to speak) and took away the actors' performances. Since the zombies are infesting the Las Vegas desert this time (but the movie's being shot in Mexico City, fyi), it stands to reason that rather than oozing, they'd be beef jerky like. Redlefsen decides to come across with a couple of tidbits, after all. With the advent of each new film in the videogame-based series, the ante is upped when it comes to the undead villains.
#Resident evil extinction full movie short story series
It's June, 2006, and there's a small group of us on the set of Resident Evil: Extinction, the third in the series of popular action/scare flicks starring Milla Jovovich. However, the makeup effects man, Richard Redlefsen, says he "can reveal nothing." That will make for a really good story, don't you think? We want to know what the zombies are going to look like.
