On December 19 2008, director Paul W.S. Anderson told IGN that he is currently working on the script for the next Resident Evil film: ”Everyone at [game developer] Capcom has had their input into the idea and they're all very excited. I don't want to tell you what it is but it's very exciting." Anderson told the site. "The game is constantly [evolving] and so is the movie franchise. We're doing it very much in conjunction with the developers of the videogame to give the audience something fresh but something that fits within the world of the videogame."

On January 29 2009, Arrow in the Head News reported that Paul W.S. Anderson is nearly finished with the script for Afterlife and is currently on draft two. The article claims that Anderson is writing but will not direct. The story is more in tune with Apocalypse in terms of style but with better dialogue and a darker tone. There's enough hand to hand combat in the script for them to bring in a martial arts choreographer (most likely for a Alice vs Wesker fight). The story reportedly takes place in Tokyo and Alaska (with Toronto standing in for Alaska). Patrick Tatopoulos will return and be in charge of the creature effects while Michael Lantieri will be the new Special FX supervisor (in terms of the practical effects). Casting will start before any more changes are made to the script, and they plan on securing a director once Milla Jovovich officially signs on.
