Resident Evil: Extinction is a 2007 science fiction action horror film, and sequel to the 2004 film Resident Evil: Apocalypse and is the third installment in a series of film adaptations very loosely based on the popular Capcom survival horror game series Resident Evil. The film was directed by Russell Mulcahy and produced by Paul Anderson, and will adapt several plot elements from Resident Evil: Code Veronica as well as feature various characters and creatures from the game series.
Resident Evil: Extinction was announced officially by Sony Screen Gems on June 13, 2005, months after Resident Evil: Apocalypse was released in Mexico City and in Mexico´s Desert. The producers also openly discussed the possibility of following this sequel with a fourth film. However, a more recent press release indicates that this third film may in fact be the last. This was later confirmed in the official plot synopsis as revealed by ComingSoon.
On November 7, 2005, Davis Film, Constantin Film and Screen Gems announced their distribution rights worldwide. The film's title was also later changed from Resident Evil: Afterlife to Resident Evil: Extinction with the film's director Russell Mulcahy signing on. Principal photography began in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico in May, 2006 (after being pushed back repeatedly from November 05 to May 06) and entered post-production in late July 2006 . The film's budget is estimated to be $45,000,000 and the special effects are covered by Tatopoulos Studios and Mr. X Inc., whom both worked on the 2006 film Silent Hill.
In late June, 2006 Sony released the first 2 production stills . Details regarding production have been top-secret but minor details have been revealed, "fans of the series will be pretty damn happy with a new boss monster that's going to rear its ugly head in the film". So far, it seems to be Tyrant.
