Milla Jovovich took to her official Facebook
page today, announcing that production on
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter has been
delayed, after the actress and her husband,
franchise director Paul W.S. Anderson,
discovered that they are expecting their second
child. Here's the actress' full statement below,
where she reveals that production has been
pushed to the summer of 2015.
"Happy Monday everyone!
This was originally going to be a post to tell
you how excited I am about flying to Cape
Town, South Africa to begin working on
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
But... My husband Paul and I just
discovered that we are expecting another
baby!!!
So after a lot of discussion, we thought it
would be in everyone's best interest to wait
till the baby is born before we set out to try
and tackle an RE movie. Between the stunt
work and what will become my ever-
expanding belly, we didn't think pregnancy
and zombie killing are the best combo! Lol! I
imagine the only thing I'll be killing in the
near future is an endless supply of
cupcakes. Yikes...
In all seriousness though, we want to make
the best movie possible and that would be
extremely difficult, to say the least, in my
present condition.
I would like to take a moment to say thank
you to everyone who has been working so
hard on the movie in South Africa already
and we are so looking forward to working
with you all next summer. And when we
arrive, it will hopefully be with the newest
member of our little family! YAY!
Before I go, i want to also send one more
HUGE thank you out to all my amazing fans
who have been so patient waiting for the
next installment of the RE franchise! YOU
ROCK!
Thanks so much for understanding
everyone! All the best! -m"
We reported in June that Resident Evil: The
Final Chapter is the working title of this final
franchise sequel. Director Paul W.S. Anderson
also revealed that he was halfway done with his
first draft of the screenplay, but he wasn't sure
when production would start. It seems that pre-
production is already under way, with crews
already working in South Africa on the sequel.
We'll keep you posted with more updates on
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter as soon as
more information is available about the
continuation of the Resident Evil franchise.
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter comes to
theaters in 2015 and stars Milla Jovovich . The
film is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson .
