Paul W.S. Anderson bets on fourth ‘Resident Evil’ …

Please, please … PLEASE … don’t mistake Paul W.S. Anderson (director of countless video game adaptations) with the brilliant Paul Thomas Anderson, director of one of the best films (There Will Be Blood) of ALL TIME!

With that said, Anderson is apparently placing his chips on the table in favor of a fourth installment in the always fun, but seldomly original ‘Resident Evil’ franchise. The third film did end rather eagerly for a major return, but can the series stand its ground for a fourth film when very few such series even make it to three films on the big screen?

In an interview with MTV News, Anderson had the following to say:

“I’m just starting to talk to Sony about it,† Anderson confessed. “I don’t even know if anything will come of it, but there’s a possibility it might happen.†

“I love the ‘Resident Evil’ franchise and we always try to make the best possible movie we can. If we could find a good ‘Resident Evil 4’ to make, then we would do it,† he said. “But I wouldn’t just do it for the sake of it, that’s for sure.†
