Despite very lukewarm reactions to Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Apocalypse director Paul W.S Anderton says that there is a possibility of a third instalment.

Anderson told Now Playing magazine: "It's still just a concept at the moment. The second movie did better business than the first movie did, so obviously there's talk of doing a third film."

He went on to say that the Capcom game-based franchise was always planned as a trilogy: "I always had a vision for a trilogy of films, and the way I imagined it was that the first movie would be a prequel to the video games, the second movie would be set in the same timeframe as the video games, specifically Resident Evil: Nemesis, and then the third movie I always saw as kind of a sequel, or a postscript, to the video games, set slightly after the time of the video games. So it's something I would definitely like to do. But we're still kind of in negotiations. But there's definitely a will to make the movie, that's for sure."

The second film, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, enjoys a special edition two-disc DVD release on December 28th.
