Share Tweet Copy Link Copied In a world where video game movies consistently fail to launch the successful franchises studios hope they will, Resident Evil is a significant outlier. Fifteen years after the first movie hit theaters in 2002, the sixth and final installment in the series - the aptly named - premieres on January 27. Screen Rant sat down with franchise star Milla Jovovich at the press day for The Final Chapter to talk about saying goodbye to the series and what it was like to live with the character of Alice for so long. Congratulations on the film. Milla Jovovich: Thank you. Milla Jovovich: It really has. I mean, this movie is epic, in the sense that Alice’s character goes in a direction [that] no one could’ve expected.

And it’s really fun to find out where Alice comes from and who she really is. And we did some really great things in the movie to highlight that, which I think people are going to enjoy. But I feel like Alice was the perfect character, because she started with no memory.

So I was able to kind of build her from film to film. And she grew as I grew at the same time.

And it’s funny, because I started in my early twenties, and I was still really insecure and didn’t know really who I was or what I was all about, and it was the same for her. And I feel like as I grew more comfortable with myself, I had kids, became stronger, became a mother, understood more about who I am, I was able to give that to the character. And I’m really happy in this one, Alice really feels like she’s in some way satisfied with who she is. She knows what she does well and she excels at it. And it’s nice to see that kind of comfort. She’s in her comfort zone. Milla Jovovich: You know for me, when I did the first Resident Evil, I was just a fan of the game.

And I really wanted to be involved in the movie because it was different, and it was unique. You know, to have a female driven, sort of indie, action/zombie flick, was different, I’d never seen anything like it. And so for me that was really interesting, but you know I think from Fifth Element I also really knew that I wanted to do action, and I knew that I was good at it, and I loved it. So I that is the most important thing, is to do what you love to do. I love making all types of movies, but I definitely found that action was something that resonated with me. I used to watch Kung-Fu Theater every Saturday with my dad, you know, so it was kind of like how I’d been raised anyway.

So I think that’s the most important—if you don’t like action you shouldn’t do action movies.
