One of my guilty pleasures is Resident Evil, a film which I think is really nicely done. Seeing Michelle Rodriguez move like a cold beast in this film gives me joy (the character embodied by the actress turns into a zombie in the film, note). These are the statements that are likely to please Paul W.S. Anderson, the director of this first adaptation on the big screen of the Capcom series.

The film's success was important enough to convince Sony Pictures and Capcom to repeat the experience.
Between 2002 and 2016, six Resident Evil films featuring the character of Alice, embodied by Milla Jovovich, were released in theaters. It is now an adaptation of another Capcom license, Monster Hunter, that the duo (husband the city) Anderson-Jovovich are preparing.
