One of the great things about the RESIDENT EVIL franchise according to star Milla Jovovich is that writer/producer/occasional director (and her husband) Paul W.S.

It’s scheduled when inspiration comes – that’s what keeps it fresh.” It also helps the same creative team has been in place for five films, including the forthcoming RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION. “This is rare […]Read On »
