Paul W.S. Anderson, Alien vs. Predator director and Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Apocalypse, screenwriter spoke to Sci-Fi Wire about a possible Resident Evil 3 in which he said, “I think it’s a franchise that has legs, and I would very much like to see a third movie… I don’t know if I’d direct it. I think it would have to depend on what happens.”
Anderson added, “Either way, whether I directed it or not, it would be a franchise I would want to stay very much in control of and very involved in. There’s a broad range of stories to tell, a very wide Resident Evil universe, so there are a lot of potential stories that we could do that would be tied in to the video games.”
