Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter are back fighting zombies this September in Resident Evil: Afterlife. Yep, that franchise is still going. Who’d have thought Superman’s run would end with just one movie while Resident Evil, of all things, gets four.

MySpace has posted a first look at Resident Evil: Afterlife in the form of the first ever, official photos released by Sony. The trailer debuts on Saturday, but until then, watch Jovovich and Larter pose with guns in the rain. Then look at a pair of sunglasses… for some reason. Are those significant? The only clothing item I want to see is Alice’s red dress.

UPDATE! Apparently the images all match up with identical scenes taken from the Resident Evil video game the movie's based on. That includes and explains the weird floating sunglasses shot.

Here's the official Resident Evil: Afterlife plot synopsis:

The fourth installment of the hugely successful Resident Evil franchise, Resident Evil: Afterlife is again based on the wildly popular video game series, and will this time be presented in 3-D. In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, ALICE (Milla Jovovich), continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend. A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead takes them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive the city is overrun by thousands of Undead - and Alice and her comrades are about to step into a deadly trap.
