Jovovich Replaced In Resident Evil 4?

Jovovich Replaced In Resident Evil 4? Resident Evil: Extinction spends a lot of its running time just setting up another movie, so it’s no surprise that there’s already talk of a Resident Evil 4. What is surprising is that it may not feature the franchise’s star, Milla Jovovich.

Ali Larter, one of the stars of TV’s Heroes and Jovovich’s co-star in Resident Evil: Extinction showed up at the film’s promotional press day in Las Vegas and answered questions about the possibility of another RE movie. According to Shock Til You Drop, she says she’s already heard “whispers” of a fourth film and, surprisingly, seems to think it may be a spin off from the Alice character arc we’re familiar with into a story focused on her Claire Redfield character.

Personally, I’d love to know what she’s smoking. Yes, the way Resident Evil 3 ends I suppose there’s room for a spin off involving Claire. She has second billing in RE 3, so I guess if you’re going to make a movie using some other character besides Alice it would have to be her. But she’s upstaged in nearly every scene by just about anyone and everyone who happens to be in front of the camera next to her.

It’s not that Larter’s bad, it’s just that the character has no personality. I very nearly omitted any mention of her entirely from my review of Extinction, Claire is such a non-factor. Yes she gets a lot of screen time, but most of it’s pretty meaningless. Oded Fehr gets the movie's best character moment and Milla Jovovich gets all the cool stunts. Ali Larter wears a hat, and that’s about all there is to Claire Redfield. Definitely not enough to deserve her own movie.

  • i think that the movie should just continue with Milla (Alice) they cant just cut her out. it not worth wacthing if alice is not in the 4th movie, i been waiting forever to see milla on resident evil 4, i mean she in all three of them and she rock her scene..... clair is cool in all, but alice is awesome and come on she special so why take her out i want to see what happen next to her or will her abilites grow stonger, so alice stay and clair should just help alice out that it...
  • They are trying to sign Milla Jovivich up for the movie again.
  • Why won't they released to movies one with alice in japan and one with claire in Alaska.
    That would be a hit.
    Most likely they should bring Leon S. Kennedy in the movies.
  • i agree, if alice is not in the 4th movie then there is no way in hell im going to watch it. I mean i live in alaska and all that fun stuff so itd be cool to see them come up here but.... id rather have a movie that has both story lines in it. I just dont see how they will be able to connect the two story lines together to have them worthy of being in the same movie. Because you cant have 2 entirely seperate stories that just keep spinning away from each other,,,, UNLESS there is a umbrella base in ALASKA and they get there and teleport to Japan and kick some ass with all the alice clones, and then build a sonic satalite and make all the zombie human again.

    thats why im not in the movie business - peglegjoe2000@hotmail.com
  • Alice has to be in the 4th movie (if there will be a 4th for sure) otherwise....

    imagine watching a Rocky film without sylvester stallone... i dont think so....

    point is, Milla is the star of the movie, disregard the game, the game was great, and the movie is great, its better to have 2 different stories, then 1, otherwise you will run out of fun and you will already know what is going to happen.
  • I think that ALICE shouldnt have even been in the first one personally. They messed the story up soo much. Leave it to hollywood to screw it up...seriously i mean i think anyone that played the games would have loved to have seen the first movie take place in the mansion and then move on from there. Plus the Extinction to me seemed like Mortal kombat 2 where they put too many characters into one movie when they shouldnt have. I mean they totally messed up Claire with no personalilty and then Wesker at the end >> i mean jeez at least Degeneration looks promising. Why cant movies follow the games i mean come on why take a perfectly fine story and totally go somewhere else with it...i know im ranting but dam why why why
  • Well, I think, that if a character can't join in, then why not have something that may explain what happened to them? Jill is dead? What?!? Show us a clue that would imply that that character had died. Alice is ok with me, but as I have heard, she is pregnant. I mean, the actor playing her. ^^; (so we may have to wait, but as they wait, they can film other parts of the movie as she is inactive)

    I would like to see more references to the games. I know its "Based on" the games, so give references to them at least. I surely hope there is more than 4 Resident Evil Movies! Look at the Harry Potter series, already have five. :3

    If Leon is dead, shouldn't Claire know? Argh all this movie confusion. D: But anyways, if Leon appeared, would there be Ashley Graham and/or Ada Wong? (or references to them). I really like how Dr. Sam Isaacs was a reference to William Berkin.

    I would like to see these characters or references to them at least (or some explanation of their fate): Billy Coen, Rebecca Chambers, Leon Scott Kennedy, Ada Wong, Luis Sera, Enrico Marini, and Chris Redfield. (Too much? Maybe, but what can I do, eh?) Of course, I know all of them aren't probaly "alive" but I would like to know what happened. Although, I am sure they wouldd like to tease me instead and keep me wondering, hehe, which is fine I guess. Its already a given that I want to see Alice in the 4th movie as well.

    I have only played Resident Evil 0,1, and 4. I intend to play 2 and 3 as I get the money to buy them. :3 (and then others like 5 and umbrella chronicles)
  • i soO loved resident evil...wel da first one..second one kind of killed it for me when they turned matt into a monster then resident evil did a good hit back with number three....
    i think mila jovoich is an awesome character in resident evil suits the role from head to toe...lol
    and if there was a rumour going around saying she will be replaced i think it would disappoint many fans and also kill the move what was the whole purpose of ending number three like that if your going to kill well replace...actually its still killing her off bringing in some1 new to play her role wil be like stepping all over the script becoz she brought the alice character to life...and personally without her id dink the movie will die coz the audience meaning us will be disappointed at the fact we watched a story opend in the start, all its conflicts..obsticles...all up to the third where....alice and the clones are going after the umbrella company we understand each charater and to sit their watching a new character will take all its thrill adrenaline meaning away...
    evey character has a special role and a specail way to hold up a movie and alices role is important
    becOz she plays the character well....

    lols..sorry bouts my long as comment well
    now you know how i feel.
  • I honestly believe that somewhere in the next movie they will have either leon or chris. It would be a ripoff if they had claire in a movie but not the most badass guys in the whole series. Leon and Chris r the best characters in the series and deserve a little recognition too.
  • hey i really doubt they will take alice out but all i no is it would be awsome if they put leon and chris together and they ended up finding alice or claire or if they were already in tokyo but all i can say is the better not kill off leon cause he is the best character of all

    also chris should fight wesker like in code veronica
  • Hi! IF MILLA JOVOVICH IS NOT GOING TO PLAY THE FORTH FILM OF RESIDENT EVIL THEN IT WILL NOT LOOKING GOOD BECAUSE SHE HAD PLAYED ANOTHER 3 MOVIES IN RESIDENT EVIL. SHE PLAYED SO WELL THE OTHERS MOVIES. SO I WANT MILLA TO PLAYED THE FORTH MOVIE. AND IT WILL BE MORE NICE IF JILL VALENTINE AND LEON KENNEDY WILL PLAYED IN THE MOVIE!!!! GEORGE FROM GREECE .
  • milla (alice) is very good. and no one can replace her as project alice. I think its not worthy to see this RE4 if the will replace milla on this film. She's the only one who will fit on this character as ALICE.
  • i think that milla jovovich in part 4 because she is the one who starts the movies i think she should be the one who finishes it what im saying im sure that people will not want to watch without her
  • To me not having the "Alice" character majorly involved it like having a James Bond movie not focusing on James Bond. Alice was there in the begining and should be there until the end. But I guess we can't be sure for a few more years right?
  • What????
    milla jovovich will be repalaced???//
    for me,, dont replaced milla because she is the most required residentevil star......
    she has the qualities of a true star,.....
    pls!!!!!! dont replace milla...
    I am A residentevil fan.....,..
  • i agree wit hoime up there bringing new characters from the game into this movie would be a big hit.i love the games and the moveis but dropping milla would lose u guys alot of money
  • Ok guys listen, If you all haven't heard they are coming out on Dec 30th of this year with resident evil degeneration and guess what it starts Claire Redfield and Leon Kennedy. There is no way that the makers and developers behind a ridiculously successful game and movie franchise would replace the Alice character that Milla Jovovich plays. It's kinda like the old saying if it's not broke, don't fix it enough said right there. I have been a fan of all this resident evil crazyness ever since 1997 when resident evil came to playstation 1. I have played every RE game and watched every movie in theatres and bought the dvd's. I am a very firm believer that capcom and the writers and developers of this franchise are well aware of the popular success of what they have done thus far and also know that the prime reason it has done so well is because of mainly Milla Jovovich. So like I said Resident Evil Degeneration drops on DVD on December 30th 2008 and again it stars Claire Redfield and Leon Kennedy and who knows who else so people don't expect to see anything from the Resident Evil 4 movie other than another kick ass sequel and Milla Jovovich leading the way. I do think that they should bring back the few main people that survived the 3rd movie just to do the follow up from the 3rd one to the 4th movie and I would love to see Some classic characters like say Barry Burton, Chris Redfield, Ada Wong, Hunk, Krauser, and of course im sure we will see more Wesker. If you keep Jovovich and add any or all of these characters in we could be talkin about a movie bigger than the 1st three movies combined, so let's hope we get a little something of the mix for the 4th installment shall we. Resident Evil Forever!
  • Half of these comments are stupid and unrealistic.
    1) Its not like the game:
    What movie remake has ever been like the original?
    2) I want X character to make an appearance:
    This isnt smash brothers, a new challenger can not just appear simply because he or she was in the game.
    3) They should scrap the story line of 3 (count them 3) movies, to introduce a character that was prominent in the game but did little to nothing in the movie.
    I do not even know how to respond to that. If that were to happen, they might as well take 50mil and just giving to a coke head. Because essentially they will be wasting money. And i do not know about anyone else, but after a play a game, i do not want to see a movie of exactly what i played (or be near anyone who has) so i can call out play by plays of what is going to happen next. I would simply replay the game for free (or kick that guys ass in the movie theaters).
    4) Claire should do what she did in the game.
    F- the game, this is the movie.
    5) What about Jill?
    She fell down the game hill, in a pit of zombies and died. Boom! Explanation of what will happen if they even introduce it.


    If they were to ever change the direction of the movie, it would have to be after the settle Alices story. And even then, if they are just going to kill off everyone, there wouldnt be much story to go on, unless they do something cheesy in movie 5 and state "In the mean time...." Which would be dumb and they had might as well make a Sci Fi Channel feature if they wanted to and sell the DVD for all you RE fanboys.

    PS: The game story line isnt that amazing for each to have it own movie.
  • wtf milla is awsome i had a dream were i cracked 8 zombie skulls in 1 second i kisk ass.
  • has anyone got any updates on the progress of this film being put into action, has anything been planned yet? People have been replying to this topic for over a year. Doesnt that say, that if no news has been posted about the film in over a year that is possibly not going to be made?

    Correct me if i'm wrong.
  • I Highly doubt Screen Gems or Paul Anderson will allow Milla Jovovich to be replaced in RE4. There are rumors (or confirmations, though I doubt that much) that Jovovich will return for the fourth movie and that the other surviving characters of the film will as well. Hopefully, Jill Valentine will be apart of that roster, because I certainly would love to see Sienna Guillory return to the role. And I pretty much agree with everyone here; I would not watch another RE-Film without Milla Jovovich; She's a great actress and the main foundations of the films to begin with. To remove her would be a bad move on whomever's part.
  • alice should never have been in any of the films shes not even in the resident evil games! although a spin off with claire would suck they never got her right at all in the third installment,if they do that CHRIS REDFIELD would have to be brought in i mean 3 movies in and hes in none? not cool.AND WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO JILL??????? but anyways they have went so far with alice she would have to be in the next MAIN STORY movie ,clones = bad idea i don't know how they could pull off a good movie with 100 alices running riot!
  • Why the would do that change Mila (Alice)? then it wont even worth to be called resident evil, no Mila no fun i wont watch it .
  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
    SHE HASSS TO COME OUUUTT!

    SHE HASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
    TOO COME OUT!
    WHATS THE POINT OF ANOTHER MOVIIE IF SHES NOT IN IT!.

    =(
    =(
    =(
    =(
  • Hi... The movie without Mila - suck. And if movie no - is double suck. any movie (resident evil *) be superior to no any movie.

    P.S. Mila is not best bitches, but she in the movie from first series.

    P.P.S. T-virus is suck :-(
  • The moveis were great even though there not too close to the game. I have played the first 2 games of RE and thats it..so i dont know TOO much about the Whole storyline. But the movie is based off alice and thats how they should keep it. and yea it would suck if they replace milla. I do agree alice has become to powerful..maybe the building collapses and her clones die..i dont know but if shes this powerful the movie wont be that long. *** maybe claire will meet up with the other characters that "some how made it to alaska"......over all I THINK
    1. dont get rid of alice\replace her (milla)
    2. She is too powerful
    3 involve both stoires of her and claire
    4.maybe involve some of the storyline from the game but dont stray to far off
