Life affirmation

Former "Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller and Heroes hottie Ali Larter have both joined the cast of "Resident Evil: Afterlife", the fourth film in the franchise says Blackfilm.





Actor Boris Kodjoe spoke about REA to the site while promoting this week's sci-fi thriller theatrical release "Surrogates".

Kodjoe says "I play the leader of the survivors in Los Angeles. Milla Jovovich’s character, Alice, is roaming the world looking for survivors and she’s wound up in LA, which has been burning for three years. She comes across an LA jail surrounded be these half-dead with a couple of survivors trapped inside. She lands on top of the roof and partners up with me to fight the guys that are coming after them. We’re trying to get all of the survivors out of the jail to safety."

Miller plays one of the trapped people whom they lock up in a cell (Something he knows a lot about) because it's not known if he's succumbed to the virus or not. He becomes a key element of their eventual escape.

Larter will reprise her role from "Resident Evil: Apocalypse,".

Shooting kicks off this week in Toronto under the helm of returning first film director Paul W.S. Anderson - for an August 27, 2010 release.
