Milla Jovovich

RESIDENT EVIL: Retribution

PAUL W.S. Anderson is not the head of his household.‘‘I have no power, that’s why I have to direct movies, it’s

the only way I get any kind of respect,’’ says theEnglishman.

This is what happens when your wife, Milla Jovovich,has become one of the movie world’s most kick-buttheroines.

‘‘What do you mean ‘become’? She ain’t changed!’’Anderson guffaws.

‘‘I wouldn’t stand a chance. I’m beginning to think Iwouldn’t stand a chance against my daughter as well, andshe’s only five. She goes to taekwondo class.’’

That may go some way to explaining why writer-directorAnderson keeps such a cracking pace — pumping out 12films since first breaking through with 1994’scontroversial ram-raid flick Shopping

More recently, it’s been a film a year — two parts of hisResident Evil franchise interspersed with a lavish take onThe Three Musketeers, all starring Jovovich.

But he’s careful to point out he’s not just running asoulless production line, including Resident Evil, whichhe adapted from video game to the big screen 10 yearsago. His fifth dose of zombie killing, Resident Evil:

Retribution, is now in cinemas.‘‘It’s gonna sound a little cheesy, but they’re really

made with love, with passion, these movies,’’ he says.‘‘The people in front of and behind the camera, we’re allthere to make the best possible movie.

‘‘That doesn’t always happen in movies.

‘‘People are therebecause they wannamake money, they thinkit’s a good career move,it’s the only movie theycould get . . . thesemovies only get madebecause we really,really want to makethem. And that shows.’’

Even beforeRetribution, thefranchise has earned$652 million and showsno sign of weakening.

‘‘The last movie,Afterlife, we basicallydoubled theinternational audience,’’he says.

In fact, the only thingthat can stop Resident

Evil is Anderson himself– he looked on the firstthree films as a trilogy.

‘‘Now he’s set towrap it all up in a sixthand final film.

‘‘What I would like todo is bring the franchisefull circle and with theend of the second trilogy literally come back to the verygenesis of the franchise,’’ he says.

‘‘That’s why in this movie you’re starting to seecharacters return that you haven’t seen for 10 years.

‘‘It’s all heading back to that inception point.’’He still has periodic contact with the Japanese team

behind the video game, keeping the fanboys happy by,say, not killing off a character in a movie that will appearin the next game.

‘‘One of the big sequences in Retribution is lifted fromthe fifth release of the video game – except the action,complete with rocket launchers, is moved from thedesert to Moscow and the car Jovovich is driving is not aHummer but a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

‘‘I’ve never seen anyone use a Rolls-Royce in a carchase,’’ Anderson says.

‘‘Then I figured out why – because they’re reallyexpensive!

‘‘We wrote off three of them; we had to physicallydestroy three Rolls-Royces to accomplish thesequence.’’

Before killing his final Resident Evil zombie, Andersonis set to shoot Pompeii next year, based on the eruptionof Mount Vesuvius.
