Capcom has revealed details for a Director's Cut edition of Resident Evil 5. This comes on the heels of news that RE5 will be getting motion play capabilities (Alternate Edition for PS3 next year). Voice actress Patricia Ja Lee previously let the news slip of a Director's Cut in an interview where she plainly stated "I did a voiceover last week for the director's cut that's coming out for Resident Evil 5."

The new content will involve Chris Redfield's and Jill Valentine's assault Ozwell Spencer's horror-filled castle (an event that took place three years ago), and major plot point for RE5. An additional 2 hours is expected from the new gameplay which will also support both single-player and co-op play.

This new content won't be available as DLC because it will be much too large to be downloaded, but according to producer Jun Takeuchi, he "would not rule out being able to play the new episode between the two versions [original and re-release]."

The "Alternate" and "Director's Cut" Editions are due out next spring in Japan and will be compatible with save games from the original release of Resident Evil 5. It will also allow owners of both the original and the re-release to play the regular campaign together through online co-op.

Xbox 360 players are lacking in details as it was only promised that they WILL be getting content sometime. Nothing has been announced as to whether the PC will see the new content.

Production officially began on the fourth installment of the Resident Evil movie series, Resident Evil: Afterlife. Screengems and Constantin films made it official that production had began in Toronto, Canada.

Milla Jovovich will reprise her role as Alice, and other familiar faces will be Ali Larter as Claire Redfield and Spencer Locke as K-Mart (from Resident Evil: Extinction). Some new faces will be Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield from Fox's Prison Break) as Chris Redfield and Shawn Roberts as Albert Wesker.

The film is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (directed the first three) and will be shot in 3D. According to Anderson "Alice's battle with The Umbrella Corporation isn't finished. Last time we saw Alice, she let them know she was coming after them. It’s time to settle the score."

It has been revealed that Resident Evil: Afterlife will start off a new series of Resident Evil movies. According to writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson, "I don't regard it as Resident Evil 4, I regard it as a re-tooling and rebirth of the entire franchise. I wanted to kick off a brand new trilogy." Paul also revealed that the movie will use stereoscopic 3D and use the same camera system James Cameron used in his upcoming film Avatar.

Milla Jovovitch will star in this 2010 supposedly reprising her role as Alice.
