What's new?

FANGORIA: Do you see Resident Evil: Afterlife as the best of the four RESIDENT EVIL movies?
MILLA JOVOVICH: Definitely. The setpieces are incredible, the characters go through so many different worlds within this one movie -- it's going to be super-exciting for the audience. On the last film it was pretty much one place; it was the desert all the way through. And even though it was great and it was the best one until then, Resident Evil: Afterlife really takes you to so many different sets, and you think you've gotten used to something and boom! You're somewhere completely different than the last place.

FANG: What appeals to you about playing Alice?
JOVOVICH: She's just so cool. I love the action, training, flying elements...I love doing wirework. She's like the female Clint Eastwood or Dirty Harry. It's really nice to see a woman playing a part like that, and different. It's usually the femme fatale kind of action stars, and she's not that. She's hot, but she's definitely more of a Dirty Harry than an X-Man or Marvel girl. She's down to earth.

FANG: Is it a trip having Paul involved again as director?
JOVOVICH: Well, Paul's involved in every movie. This is his baby, in a sense -- he's written and produced all of them, [helped] with the editing. Especially on the first and the third, he was there every step of the way. The first one he obviously directed, and the third he was there every day...he has always been such an integral part of all these films. I don't think you could make them without Paul. Or someone could, but they wouldn't be what they are now. It's great, because it's a family affair at this point.

Discussing Jovovich-Hawk:
"It was all fun when Barneys ordered four pairs of slacks and we could do it ourselves. But when people started ordering 400 pairs of slacks and we had to go out to the factory, it got to the point where we were both exhausted. So after we did our thing with Target, we agreed we should quit, and down the line maybe try to get a licensing deal."

Discussing expanding her family:
"It's been tough because this year piled up on me starting last fall, and I thought, Wow, I might not be able to have a baby this year. Right now we are shooting for next year because I don't want there to be too much of an age difference between the two of them. So it's gotta happen, and it's gotta happen soon."

Discussing her role in The Three Musketeers:
"I gave my two cents, even for my part. I told him that I really wanted this movie, but it's his movie, and I even suggested some other actresses who I thought would be good for the part. But it ended up that the studio was really happy with me, and I felt wonderfully blessed to be brought on. I have been inspired for the film's costumes by the paintings of [17th-century artist] Anthony van Dyck, and looking at those paintings you get a sense of just how heavy these women's dresses really were. It made me think of those old Chinese films where the women use their dresses as weapons, so I am coming up with some very cool ideas about how to use my costume as a weapon."
