'Resident Evil' Star on Making Each Film as if it's the Last
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is out January 17 in the U.S., and its star Mila Jovovich has started doing press in what marks her 15th year playing the heroine of he franchise, Alice.
“I feel like Alice has grown so much,” Jovovich says. “It’s so interesting to be able to go back and play the same character over and over. You’re definitely molding this person. But you have to let them breathe. It can’t just be you trying to infuse yourself into them all the time.” Milla, now a mother of two small children pauses thoughtfully, before adding, “You’re raising them in a way … just like a child.”
“Now it’s so normal for women to be in action films but for me, Sigourney Weaver was pretty much the only female action hero of the 1980s," Jovovich said of how times have changed, and in that light it's certainly improved significantly.
“I know that every movie we’ve made has been made as if it was the last,” she says. “We’ve never rested on our laurels. I think that’s why every film in the franchise has had its own unique feeling and can stand on its own," she said, regarding the title of the latest Resident Evil film.
