Ali Larter (Niki) in Resident Evil: Extinction
Ali Larter Joins Resident Evil: Extinction Ali Larter told SCI FI Wire that she enters major butt-kicking mode in the upcoming SF horror-action film Resident Evil: Extinction. Larter joins Resident Evil veteran Milla Jovovich in the third film based on the Capcom video-game franchise. “Alice comes back, and I play Claire Redfield, who’s the head of this convoy that’s traveling through the Nevada desert, pretty much after an apocalypse,” Jovovich said in an interview. “We’re just trying to survive . It’s survival of the fit-*test*-('") at this point, and it ends up being about who’s actually going to be able to make it during this very difficult time on Earth. It gets pretty bloody.” Extinction is the third film in the series, in which a top-secret government virus has escaped and transformed humans into flesh-eating zombies. To shoot the movie, “we went down to Mexicali, which is maybe the hot-*test*-('") place on Earth,” Larter said. “I have pictures of me holding a thermometer, and it says 125 degrees. It was brutally hot. But it’s fun to play these kinds of characters. I was able to run away, shoot some guns and have a great time with the other actors. It’s also really fun to be in movies that people love to see. You can’t take yourself that seriously all the time.” Resident Evil: Extinction will be released in September 2007.
