REBOOT-APALOOZA: RESIDENT EVIL reboot coming

There have been so many big screen reboots announced lately that I've decided to start up Reboot-apalooza, yet another feature I'll probably forget about in two weeks. (Remember "Geek of the Week"? Yeah, neither do I.)

We've gotten used to studios rebooting stuff that's not that old (like the upcoming Buffy movie) and even stuff that's still ongoing (like the upcoming Battlestar Galactica reboot movie that's going to be hitting theaters while the previous Galactica's new spinoff, Caprica, is airing on TV.) But in an interesting new twist, the producers of the Resident Evil movie franchise are now prepping for Resident Evil 4: Afterlife, a fourth film starring Milla Jovovich, at the same time they're planning for the movie after that to be a franchise reboot, essentially remaking the first film in the series.

Maybe on Milla's final day of shooting, on her way out the door she can pass her guns, combat boots and other hand-me-downs over to whichever younger actress will be taking over the franchise.
