[b]Development[/b]
In May 2005, producers mentioned the possibility of following Extinction with a sequel titled Resident Evil: Afterlife, to be shot and set in Tokyo, Japan and Alaska. Despite Resident Evil: Extinction being billed on the official website and elsewhere as the final installment of the Resident Evil film series; on September 23, 2007, Rory Bruer, Sony's head of distribution explained, "It absolutely would not surprise me considering the success of the franchise that they find a way to come up with another. It's a real possibility". Producer Jeremy Bolt also stated that while there was no intention of making a fourth film, that the third had been particularly well done and that Paul Anderson was talking with Sony about the possibility.
In June 2008, Anderson noted that negotiations were underway with Sony for creating the film. During an interview with IGN in December 2008, Anderson stated that he was working on the script. The following year, it was announced that Sony was aiming to release Resident Evil: Afterlife by August 27, 2010.
[b]Casting and Characters[/b]
In October 2007, reports indicated that casting for the fourth film begun, with Jensen Ackles being considered for the role of Leon S. Kennedy. However bringing Leon as a character in an upcoming film would contradict promotional information from Resident Evil: Apocalypse as Screen Gems created a faux newspaper, The Raccoon City Times, that detailed the background of Jill Valentine, who was played by Sienna Guillory in the previous film, and included that she was dismissed from the Special Tactics and Rescue Squad (STARS) after the death of her partner, Leon Kennedy .Ali Larter confirmed she would reprise her role "100% if asked".
At the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, Jovovich confirmed that she would return in the lead role, and noted that the clones from Extinction would also be returning. On September 22, 2009, it was announced that Ali Larter would indeed reprise her role as Claire Redfield, and on September 30, 2009, it was announced that Shawn Roberts would replace Jason O'Mara for the part of Albert Wesker, with Wentworth Miller joining as Chris Redfield, and Spencer Locke returning as K-Mart. Kim Coates, Kacey Barnfield and Boris Kodjoe was also cast. In an interview with FEARnet, Roberts spoke about his character saying, "Chairman of the Umbrella Corporation. He is in a position of power. He pretty much runs the world, and Alice is an annoyance. It's a whole process: I get to set and wardrobe gives me this big, long black jacket, and props comes over and gives me the dark glasses and the gloves. By the time you are all dressed you stand a little straighter, you walk a little differently.
He's got everything going for him -- he's super fast, super strong, has the ability to regenerate -- it's all the elements from the game. That was one thing we all agreed on from the start: this character has to be for the fans."
The infected dobermans from the games and previous films will return, but are more advanced. Producer Jeremy Bolt said it would be a combination of CGI and real dobermans. He further explained, "Their head will literally explode – will flare open, the jaws will come here and this is very much part of the new game, Resident Evil 5." Other creatures borrowed from the fifth video game are the "Majini" and "The Executioner". He explained that the other undead creatures have become more intelligent and will have mandibles and tentacles coming out of their mouths.
[b]Filming[/b]
With an estimated budget of $56 million, principal photography began on September 29, 2009, in Toronto, Canada, and wrapped in December 2009. Roberts began filming his scenes on October 10, 2009 and finished in about ten weeks. Anderson used James Cameron's Fusion Camera System, the same system that was used in Avatar. He has stated the film has the largest budget in the series thus far and it will also feature new characters taken from the video games. Visual effects production manager Eric Roberston described the look of the film, "interesting contrasts, pure whites, which is a staggering look. It's so clean and tight along with some real darkness too that may evoke a bit of a feel of Silent Hill. So we've got the extremes, but it's definitely a unique look for this incarnation and it's been fun to see those looks"
