COMIC-CON 2010: 'Resident Evil: Afterlife' uses 3-D to level up the franchise

[weber_dubois22]

For some movies, 3-D is an afterthought, plastered on after the shooting is done in order to boost the box office results with premium-priced tickets. That wasn’t the case with “Resident Evil: Afterlife.” Director Paul W.S. Anderson told the Comic-Con audience in Hall H of the San Diego Convention Center that 3-D technology was baked into everything he did, from the cinematography and the set design to the editing and the action choreography.

Using the same cameras deployed by James Cameron to make “Avatar,” Anderson shot the entire film in 3-D. “3-D is revolutionizing cinema,” Anderson told the audience. As an example, he described how actors previously could stage punches by swinging their fists about 6 inches from the other person’s face. By lining up the cameras a certain way, directors could make the punch look realistic.

A good turn towards 'Evil'

It's not going to be mistaken for a James Cameron film, but Resident Evil: Afterlife was the beneficiary in its formative stages of an usual gesture by the filmmaker. He gave the Evil filmmakers an early look at his 3-D epic Avatar.

" I loved 3-D, and had seen all of the movies in the 70s and 80s," says Resident Evil director Paul W. S. Anderson. "And James Cameron was nice enough to show us some footage, and it was amazing. He really opened everyone's eyes about what could be done with 3-D. It felt like I was making my first movie all over again."

Resident Evil: Afterlife, due out in September, is about a virus that turns its victims into the undead. - Scott Bowles
