Resident Evil is one of the more criticized franchises currently out there, however, I am a fan of the films and the Resident Evil Retribution panel was a nice little treat for myself and a half full Hall H.
The panel began with Paul W.S. Anderson, Milla Jovovich, Oded Fehr, Bingbing Li, Michelle Rodriguez and Boris Kodjoe. The trailer that has been out for some kind was shown which I really enjoy no matter how many times I’ve seen it. The panel seemed like more of a filler slot to get ready for Sony but they did show a part of the epic fight scene between Alice and Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory). Anderson said that the scene is about 7 minutes long and they are still trying to finish the SFX for it but we got to see around 2 minutes of the fight. So to keep it sort of spoiler free Jill and Alice battle it out in the snow while Rain (Rodriguez) injects herself with some sort of virus.
So the most bizarre and uncomfortable moment of the panel came from the mouth of a fan (dressed as Buzz Lightyear) who asked Michelle Rodriguez if she would have sex with him, respectfully she told a story about a guy who looked liked him that she knew but it was a no. The man was then escorted out of the Hall.
Another fan asked about the future of the franchise since this is suppose to be the end of the Alice storyline. Milla said that her and Anderson have discussed the future and that he tends to keep that a secret for her. They didn’t give any solid information regarding another film or the future of the franchise. If the film does decent enough, I’m sure we can expect another film.
Like I said, not the most exciting panel but it was a decent filler.
Resident Evil Retribution hits theaters September 14th.
