Well, that didn't take very long now, did it? The time for speculation is at an end. Sienna Guillory is officially back as Jill Valentine in Resident Evil: Retribution!
Milla Jovovich confirmed the news via her Twitter account - "I can't reply right now, but wanted 2 let u all know that Sienna Guillory @guillorybe closed her deal on the new RE movie! we r so excited!!"
There ya go, kids. Breaking news reported in 140 characters. Wow, how times have changed. Paul W.S. Anderson is directing Resident Evil: Retribution in Russia, Canada and Japan, with Milla Jovovich reprising her role as Alice. Screen Gems will release the flick on September 14th, 2012. [SOURCE]

COLOGNE, Germany -- Paul W.S. Anderson's The Three Musketeers reboot got a solid, if less than spectacular, start to its world release with a No. 1 bow in Germany this weekend. The period auctioneer - starring Logan Lerman, Matthew Macfadyen, Orlando Bloom and Milla Jovovich -- earned $3.4 million (€2.4 million) in its first weekend, enough to take top spot in the territory ahead of local comedy What a Man. Musketeers also topped the charts in neighboring Austria, where it earned just under $500,000 (€350,000) in its opening weekend. But in Germany the rom-com What A Man -- directed, co-written and starring newly-crowned German box office superstar Matthias Schweighofer -- still beat out Musketeers in terms of admissions. What a Man sold 250,000 tickets in Germany in its 4-day sophomore weekend, compared with 235,000 more pricey 3D tickets for Three Musketeers.
It was a soft box office weekend overall, as blazing sunshine had German audiences rushing away from cinemas towards parks and beer gardens. Constantin Film, which produced Three Musketeers and is distributing it in Germany, will be praying for rain in the coming weeks. In a separate development, Matthias Peipp, head of distribution and licensing at Constantin, announced he was leaving the company as of January 2012. Peipp will focus on his cinema consultancy firm CineAtlantica as well as new projects, Constantin said in a statement. He will continue to act as a consultant for Constantin. The company has not yet named a replacement. [SOURCE]

Paul W.S. Anderson is back in the director's chair for this one. Jovovich will be joined by Sienna Guillory, reprising her role as Jill Valentine. Jovovich continued her updates with: "already i've cut 2 of alices costume changes, i mean really! is this a resident evil fashion show? no way. also, i sat in on a stunt rehearsal yesterday and its SICK!!!! we're working w nick powell, who did the stunts on the "bourne" movies."
She goes on to talk about some of the guns being used this time out. Read all about that here. [SOURCE]

One of the things people fail to recognize sometimes is how much an actor has to train for physical roles. Case in point: Milla Jovovich, who has been learning some new tricks on the set of Resident Evil: Retribution. Milla took to her Twitter account and posted some videos for you to dig on! Hit up that link and check them out.
Written and directed by Paul Anderson, Resident Evil: Retribution stars Milla Jovovich, Boris Kodjoe, Sienna Guillory, and Colin Salmon. Expect lots of bullets and Matrix-style slow motion. Look for Resident Evil: Retribution in theatres on September 14, 2012 from Screen Gems. [SOURCE]
weber_dubois22'We're making a 21st-century 'Three Musketeers,' ' Paul W.S. Anderson tells MTV News in our Fall Movie Preview.
Paul W.S. Anderson fans know his films to be intense, action-packed and not exactly family friendly (see: "Death Race" or any films in the "Resident Evil" franchise). All that changes October 21, when his retelling of Alexandre Dumas' "The Three Musketeers" hits theaters. Based on the beloved and familiar tale of adventure, intrigue and that famous "All for one and one for all" motto, the film features an ensemble cast: Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Milla Jovovich, Orlando Bloom, Ray Stevenson, Matthew Macfadyen, Luke Evans, Juno Temple, James Corden and Mads Mikkelsen. But don't let the PG-13 rating fool you: Anderson told MTV News that what his film lacks in bloodletting, it makes up for with airships and swashbuckling. And everyone knows that anytime the word swashbuckling is involved, you're in for a good time.
MTV News: What made you want to retell this story, and how is your version different?
Paul W.S. Anderson: I'm a huge fan of "The Three Musketeers," the book I read at school. I grew up watching the Richard Lester adaptation of the novel, and I love the core story of the book, and that's pretty much what we've stayed true to: the basic story of D'Artagnan leaving Gascony, coming to Paris to seek his fortune and wanting to be a Musketeer and meeting the Musketeers. All that has stayed entirely true to the book in terms of character and narrative. The only thing we've goosed up is the action part of the movie to up the ante, considering we're making a 21st-century "Three Musketeers."
