Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element) will play the lead in the upcoming Resident Evil movie, according to a news brief from The Hollywood Reporter. The movie is to be directed by Paul Anderson. The $40 million project, based on the Capcom video game series of the same name, is scheduled to begin shooting in and around Berlin in early February.

Jovovich will play Alice the zombie killer, part of a special military unit that fights a powerful, out-of-control supercomputer. To save the world, the unit must combat hundreds of scientists who have mutated into flesh-eating creatures because of a laboratory accident. Sounds like some splendid bloody fun.
