[We ♥ Milla Jovovich]

From Collider:
Milla: What makes these movies wonderful is the fact that the Resident Evil universe is amazing. From when I started playing these games with my little brother, when he was 13 and I was 22 or 23, there was that feeling of, "I love this world and it's really freaky. As soon as the sun goes down, suddenly you get a little nervous." It was always such a well-beloved, but not the most well-known, game. I know Michelle [Rodriguez] and I got attracted to it because it was the cool underground game. Suddenly, it was this little Europe action-horror flick. Everybody came into it, not asking for paychecks or dressing rooms, but for the love of the game.

Paul: I refer to the franchise and the first movie as "the little movie that could." When we made it, we shot it almost entirely in Berlin. While we were shooting, we didn't even have American distribution for the film. It was the movie that nobody wanted. I'm very proud of the fact that we've turned that into a billion dollar franchise. I think maybe it was the movie that people didn't know that they wanted, but we were making it with such energy and passion that when they saw it, they were like, "That's pretty cool." I think it was a really cool game, and I think the movies always had this really cool attitude about them.

Milla: The thing that's wonderful is that, even when I was playing Resident Evil with my brother, it was still underground. With the movies now taking on a life of their own, it's actually invited so many people that are non-gamers into the Resident Evil universe, which is great for us because I feel like we really helped the game become much more of a global game. People that never knew about it, now know about it. It's fun to introduce people to something that you had a passion for, when you were younger. Now, another 17-year-old can play with her sibling. It's fun to re-introduce this to people.
