Just watched Mila on DVD in Ultra Violet, thats a great movie too ( quite by co-incidence 5th Element was shown on Tv the other night as well).She seems to have a knack for these "kick ass" sci fi movies. |

Interview with Resident Evil: Extinction Star Milla Jovovich
From Rebecca Murray,
Milla Jovovich Talks Resident Evil: Extinction at the 2007 San Diego Comic Con
It sounds so cliché to say Milla Jovovich looked radiant at the 2007 San Diego Comic Con, but the very pregnant actress did look absolutely adorable as she maneuvered her way around tables to sit down and chat with the press. Jovovich was in San Diego to promote the third movie of the Resident Evil series – Resident Evil: Extinction – the final film of the franchise and one she promises will send the series out with a bang.
What’s in this movie that we haven’t seen before?
“I think what’s really cool about this franchise is that each film is so different. Because we have different directors on each one, it really gives each film its own world, its own world visually and story-wise - and this film especially. It’s like a whole new world because we had the first one, which is very dark and claustrophobic. It was underground the whole time. And then the second one you have this much bigger scope and the city at night, trying to escape the city. And here it’s really like the end of the world and it’s all shot in daytime. It’s all these very epic scenes. You’ve got these incredible desert sequences. It’s got a completely different look, a completely different feeling.
It’s just very cool because we have these super zombies now who are super fast, super tough, and they’re smart, too. They know how to use a camera and a telephone. And now like undead birds, which is really cool. There’s just a lot of new stuff that you wouldn’t expect to see in the Resident Evil films. It’s really whole new world and there’s lots of really great stuff. I don’t want to give it all away.”
How much fun is it to get to keep playing the same character over again?
“You know, it’s really interesting because I never expected at the beginning when we did the first movie that we’d be here sitting talking about a third film. It’s been amazing. I mean, just to be able to really live with this character. As I change, she changes, too. I love the fact that the story continues because it’s something that before we did the second or third movie, we’d talk about. Like, ‘What happened then?’ and ‘What would have happened really if it would have gone on?’ So it’s been so fun to be able to just see something kind of develop over the years and get more and more complicated. It’s fun.”
How did you prepare physically this time around?
“Action films are definitely a lot of training and I do a lot of my own stunts, so I definitely am in there for the long haul for the training process. But, for me, I love it. Martial arts is something I’ve always loved doing. It’s the only form of exercise that I can deal with. Everything else is really boring and mind-numbing. So for me it’s just really fun. I love to sort of feel like a superhero in that sense, to be able to fly through the air and to be on wires. It just makes me feel like I’m in Magic Mountain or something. I love it.”
You voiced a little bit of dismay on the set of Resident Evil 3 over the finished Resident Evil 2 film. Do you have a better feeling about Resident Evil: Extinction?
"Definitely, definitely. I just think everything about this film is so much tighter and more together. I think the script is so much better, the idea is so much more precise and [it’s] got these really great storylines going. It’s just interesting. You’ve got like a few different worlds within one movie. It’s really cool to see the contrast between the Umbrella Corporation with all its slick lines and then the desert, which is totally natural and soft and smooth. It’s the end of the world, you know, so it’s really intense in that sense.
I don’t know. I had a really great time doing it. I haven’t seen the whole movie together with all the special effects, but even without the special effects I was like, ‘This is rad!’ I loved it! I just was with the characters more. I don’t know, somehow I connected with the story better. I think what my character goes through is just really intense in this movie. Again, I don’t want to give it away, but see it! Trust me!”
You had to play clones of yourself in this film. Did you play that differently than how you’d normally play Alice? Was that a big challenge?
“It was really interesting. I mean, definitely, I played it very different from how I play Alice today. It was kind of much more who Alice was in the first movie, I think. Just a bit more innocent and a bit more of a child in a way, because she was just born so she doesn’t really understand and know everything that Alice knows about herself, you know?”
What did you think about returning to the old sets and wardrobe again?
“Really cool. I mean, it was just really crazy to put on that whole outfit again and it was weird. But I really loved it, too, because I just thought it really gave the movie such an interesting feeling. It’s crazy. I’ve never actually really died before until I have like to die multiple times. It’s really crazy. They filmed all the clones in the pit and stuff and having to like [strike different death poses], ‘What do you think? Does this look weird enough? Is this like a really screwed up position?’ And, ‘This looks nasty, right?’ Like they just threw me down in some weird way. And then with all the makeup…We had fun wearing blood all over. At one point I had like two huge slashes across my face and burns.”
The Resident Evil: Extinction trailer looks pretty intense.
“It’s pretty crazy. They have the gory one for here [at Comic Con]. I was like, ‘It’s too gory, man.’ I don’t know. It’s pretty nasty. They’re not showing it on TV, it’s just for Comic Con. And you know I use these really incredible knives called khukuris in the film and they were used by Tibetan monks hundreds of years ago. One-handed because they’re really little, the Tibetan monks, and these knives are really big so they give them another foot and a half of reach. I use two which is really vicious because they were never really intended to be used that way.
They’re really incredible because they’re sharp all through the knife, up and over, so you can do lots of different things with them. You can stab and slash and hack and stuff, all in one knife which is like that would be neat to market this! You could do it. You could bone a chicken. You could slice cucumbers. You could spread your mayo. You could pick up a slice of pie with it. It’s the perfect [knife]. Kill zombies, all in one day.”
You should do an infomercial on them.
“I love infomercials, personally. I’ve always thought that I could do a really good infomercial because I have a lot of great ideas with things. I don’t actually have the time to patent them, like everybody else with good ideas. One person takes the time to do it and the rest of us to keep talking about it.”
Do you have any plans to go back to music in the near future?
“Well you know, I actually did a couple of shows a few months ago. I did a show in Paris and a show in Moscow. I love to play and I love to record. It’s just like as a profession, I haven’t really gone after it in a business way very much. But I love to record. I love to release demos. On my website people can download them for free.
It’s kind of a personal thing I love to do, but my friends will get me to do stuff on soundtracks and things. But I just haven’t really tried to do the whole tour thing, like promotions. I think because it gets a little tough, and music for me is something I prefer to keep away form the whole business part of my life. I feel like everything I do, in a way, has some sort of business around it. So with my music I can have my privacy. If people don’t have to pay for it then I think they can be a little more open to new ideas. It’s hard because I was very lucky with my record to get great reviews and stuff. But still, it’s hard. I just think things that are that personal it’s really hard to deal with the outside world with having opinions.”

Milla Jovovich Talks Resident Evil: Extinction at the 2007 San Diego Comic Con
It sounds so cliché to say Milla Jovovich looked radiant at the 2007 San Diego Comic Con, but the very pregnant actress did look absolutely adorable as she maneuvered her way around tables to sit down and chat with the press. Jovovich was in San Diego to promote the third movie of the Resident Evil series – Resident Evil: Extinction – the final film of the franchise and one she promises will send the series out with a bang.
What’s in this movie that we haven’t seen before?
“I think what’s really cool about this franchise is that each film is so different. Because we have different directors on each one, it really gives each film its own world, its own world visually and story-wise - and this film especially. It’s like a whole new world because we had the first one, which is very dark and claustrophobic. It was underground the whole time. And then the second one you have this much bigger scope and the city at night, trying to escape the city. And here it’s really like the end of the world and it’s all shot in daytime. It’s all these very epic scenes. You’ve got these incredible desert sequences. It’s got a completely different look, a completely different feeling.
It’s just very cool because we have these super zombies now who are super fast, super tough, and they’re smart, too. They know how to use a camera and a telephone. And now like undead birds, which is really cool. There’s just a lot of new stuff that you wouldn’t expect to see in the Resident Evil films. It’s really whole new world and there’s lots of really great stuff. I don’t want to give it all away.”
How much fun is it to get to keep playing the same character over again?
“You know, it’s really interesting because I never expected at the beginning when we did the first movie that we’d be here sitting talking about a third film. It’s been amazing. I mean, just to be able to really live with this character. As I change, she changes, too. I love the fact that the story continues because it’s something that before we did the second or third movie, we’d talk about. Like, ‘What happened then?’ and ‘What would have happened really if it would have gone on?’ So it’s been so fun to be able to just see something kind of develop over the years and get more and more complicated. It’s fun.”
How did you prepare physically this time around?
“Action films are definitely a lot of training and I do a lot of my own stunts, so I definitely am in there for the long haul for the training process. But, for me, I love it. Martial arts is something I’ve always loved doing. It’s the only form of exercise that I can deal with. Everything else is really boring and mind-numbing. So for me it’s just really fun. I love to sort of feel like a superhero in that sense, to be able to fly through the air and to be on wires. It just makes me feel like I’m in Magic Mountain or something. I love it.”
You voiced a little bit of dismay on the set of Resident Evil 3 over the finished Resident Evil 2 film. Do you have a better feeling about Resident Evil: Extinction?
"Definitely, definitely. I just think everything about this film is so much tighter and more together. I think the script is so much better, the idea is so much more precise and [it’s] got these really great storylines going. It’s just interesting. You’ve got like a few different worlds within one movie. It’s really cool to see the contrast between the Umbrella Corporation with all its slick lines and then the desert, which is totally natural and soft and smooth. It’s the end of the world, you know, so it’s really intense in that sense.
I don’t know. I had a really great time doing it. I haven’t seen the whole movie together with all the special effects, but even without the special effects I was like, ‘This is rad!’ I loved it! I just was with the characters more. I don’t know, somehow I connected with the story better. I think what my character goes through is just really intense in this movie. Again, I don’t want to give it away, but see it! Trust me!”
You had to play clones of yourself in this film. Did you play that differently than how you’d normally play Alice? Was that a big challenge?
“It was really interesting. I mean, definitely, I played it very different from how I play Alice today. It was kind of much more who Alice was in the first movie, I think. Just a bit more innocent and a bit more of a child in a way, because she was just born so she doesn’t really understand and know everything that Alice knows about herself, you know?”
What did you think about returning to the old sets and wardrobe again?
“Really cool. I mean, it was just really crazy to put on that whole outfit again and it was weird. But I really loved it, too, because I just thought it really gave the movie such an interesting feeling. It’s crazy. I’ve never actually really died before until I have like to die multiple times. It’s really crazy. They filmed all the clones in the pit and stuff and having to like [strike different death poses], ‘What do you think? Does this look weird enough? Is this like a really screwed up position?’ And, ‘This looks nasty, right?’ Like they just threw me down in some weird way. And then with all the makeup…We had fun wearing blood all over. At one point I had like two huge slashes across my face and burns.”
The Resident Evil: Extinction trailer looks pretty intense.
“It’s pretty crazy. They have the gory one for here [at Comic Con]. I was like, ‘It’s too gory, man.’ I don’t know. It’s pretty nasty. They’re not showing it on TV, it’s just for Comic Con. And you know I use these really incredible knives called khukuris in the film and they were used by Tibetan monks hundreds of years ago. One-handed because they’re really little, the Tibetan monks, and these knives are really big so they give them another foot and a half of reach. I use two which is really vicious because they were never really intended to be used that way.
They’re really incredible because they’re sharp all through the knife, up and over, so you can do lots of different things with them. You can stab and slash and hack and stuff, all in one knife which is like that would be neat to market this! You could do it. You could bone a chicken. You could slice cucumbers. You could spread your mayo. You could pick up a slice of pie with it. It’s the perfect [knife]. Kill zombies, all in one day.”
You should do an infomercial on them.
“I love infomercials, personally. I’ve always thought that I could do a really good infomercial because I have a lot of great ideas with things. I don’t actually have the time to patent them, like everybody else with good ideas. One person takes the time to do it and the rest of us to keep talking about it.”
Do you have any plans to go back to music in the near future?
“Well you know, I actually did a couple of shows a few months ago. I did a show in Paris and a show in Moscow. I love to play and I love to record. It’s just like as a profession, I haven’t really gone after it in a business way very much. But I love to record. I love to release demos. On my website people can download them for free.
It’s kind of a personal thing I love to do, but my friends will get me to do stuff on soundtracks and things. But I just haven’t really tried to do the whole tour thing, like promotions. I think because it gets a little tough, and music for me is something I prefer to keep away form the whole business part of my life. I feel like everything I do, in a way, has some sort of business around it. So with my music I can have my privacy. If people don’t have to pay for it then I think they can be a little more open to new ideas. It’s hard because I was very lucky with my record to get great reviews and stuff. But still, it’s hard. I just think things that are that personal it’s really hard to deal with the outside world with having opinions.”

Errr just a thought but if a big part of this movie is set in the desert, then can't Mila and the rest of the gang, like just run away from the zombies. I mean they should be able to see them from miles away.
Plus those zombies are soooooooooooo slow , ( and noisy) |

You can only run so far WITHOUT supplies. Sooner or latter, you will need to scavenge up some supplies and to find them is where civilization once existed hence, the zombies are there waiting  |
