The poster for 'The Three Musketeers'

Here's the first official poster for Paul W.S. Anderson's upcoming 3D adventure "The Three Musketeers," which is set for release Oct. 14, 2011. Interesting design for sure. Logan Lerman, Matthew Macfadyen, Ray Stevenson, Mads Mikkelsen, Milla Jovovich, Orlando Cloom and Christoph Waltz star.

In this supposedly fresh take, the hot-headed young D'Artagnan (Lerman) joins forces with three rogue Musketeers (MacFadyen, Evans and Stevenson). They must stop the evil Richlieu (Waltz) and face off with Buckingham (Bloom) and the treacherous Milady (Jovovich). I find it hard to get excited about this one.

'Resident Evil 5' gets a title?

Resident Evil 5 has a title?

Hard to believe, but we've got yet another big-screen franchise hitting No. 5 soon. Which one? Well, the "Resident Evil" franchise, of course, and according to lead actress Milla Jovovich, the film will be titled "Resident Evil: Retribution." She mentioned this and some other details via her Twitter account.

Of course, this is not entirely confirmed. Milla quickly went to say she would have to check with Paul W.S. Anderson first. She also posted a tweet in which she said she can't wait to go to Japan to shoot, which indicates it's time for Alice to wrap things up and finally kill all Umbrella Corp. people.

Finally, Milla added Paul's kids play the "Resident Evil" games all the time, which helps him come up with new ideas for the movie. Do we need another "Resident Evil" movie? Maybe to finish the story, yes, but that's about it. They are not exactly getting better, right?

'Resident Evil 5' happening soon?

Milla Jovovich says Resident Evil 5 is coming

Now that "Resident Evil: Afterlife" killed it at the box office, why not talk about the next installment in the popular series? That's what Milla Jovovich already did, saying a fifth flick is coming for sure!

Vulture reports the actress spoke about "Resident Evil 5" at a recent event at the Lincoln Center. “So we’re definitely going to make another one,” she said, referring to the box office success of "Afterlife."

She mentioned her husband Paul W.S. Anderson is already playing with ideas, which would indicate that he consider writing the script (I hope he doesn't) if indeed a fifth film is happening in the near future.

Movie Review: "Resident Evil: Afterlife"

Seen on: September 10, 2010

The players: Director: Paul W.S. Anderson, Writer: Paul W.S. Anderson, Cast: Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, Shawn Roberts, Kim Coates

Facts of interest: None.

The plot: Alice heads to Los Angeles, where she encounters some survivors and comes up with a plan to reach a safe haven.

Our thoughts: Yes, “Resident Evil: Afterlife” is already the fourth film in the big-screen series based on the popular video game, and just like many zombies out there, this franchise just won’t die. No, not all of the “Resident Evil” flicks were disasters (I enjoyed the first and third), but this latest sequel proves that it may be time to call it quits, and that despite the fact that the 3D in this thing looks pretty cool.

'The Three Musketeers' promotional teaser poster

This is not an exciting teaser poster, but it serves its purpose as a promotional asset and includes the names of the big cast as well as a first look at the film's official logo. That at least looks kind of edgy, right?

Anyway, Paul W.S. Anderson is directing the 3D adventure, which stars Logan Lerman, Matthew Macfadyen, Ray Stevenson, Mads Mikkelsen, Milla Jovovich, Orlando Cloom and Christoph Waltz (yay!).

A release is currently planned for April 15, 2011, and Anderson previously pointed out the flick will be a modern version of the classic tale. It will be a film filled with action, adventure and romance.

Three new clips from 'Resident Evil: Afterlife'

Paul W.S. Anderson's "Resident Evil: Afterlife" is invading theaters Sept. 10, 2010, and here are three brand-new clips from the upcoming 3D horror sequel. The film stars Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter.

The three clips below are pretty action-loaded, proving yet again (like the trailer) that heavy CG is all over the place in this fourth installment of the series. It will be interesting to see how this all looks in 3D.

In the sequel, Alice continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend.
