Plot: Picking up where the end of the first movie left off.  Alice (Jovovich), finds herself stranded in the ruins of Raccoon City folowing a virus outbreak which has turned the city's inhabitants into bloodthirsty zombies. Searching for a way to contain the virus, Alice also teams up with other survivors, who include Jill Valentine (the key heroine from the games) (Guillory), who finds herself being hunted down by a massive monster called Nemesis (Mabius) with ties to Alice, and the tendency to moan 'Starrrrssss' a lot. (Oded Fehr plays the head of Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Force; Jared Harris plays Dr. Ashford, the wheelchair-bound scientist who developed the "super soldier" formula that caused this whole problem.) His formula falls into the wrong hands and is used to create supersoldiers.

Oded Fehr is mostly know for his part in The Mummy and Deuce Bigalow Male Gigalow. He plays Carlos the leader of the Umbrella Corparations Counter Measures team. Sienna Guillory plays Jill Valentine who was the main character in the first game and the 3rd.  She was in the tv movie Helen of Troy and the Time Machine

Here's a picture from the prop station for the movie. It appears to be a mask or maybe a model for CG. We'll have to wait and see, but this does look like Nemesis from the game.  UPDATE: He'll be a guy in suit

Oded Fehr as Carlos in Resident Evil Apacolypse. Based mostly on the Resident Evil 3 game. It will feature the enemy Nemesis. It is looking to be the movie the fans hoped the first one would be. It  will take place immidiately after the first movie ended. Milla Jovich will return but to a lesser extent? We'll see..

Jill Valentine looks exactly as she looked in the game down to the costume. This is one of my top movie picks for 2004. This will have a March/April release like the original
