With Sony Screen Gems gearing up to shoot Resident Evil: Afterlife in Toronto next month, casting is well underway. Thus far, Boris Kodjoe (who stars in the forthcoming Surrogates) and Milla Jovovich are confirmed to star in the 3-D sequel being directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (who returns to the franchise as he got behind the camera for the first film). While out promoting Surrogates, Kodjoe revealed to BlackFilm another two names to add to the list. Ali Larter is set to return to the franchise as she took on the role of Claire Redfield in 2007's Resident Evil: Extinction, while Underworld and "Prison Break"'s Wentworth Miller also stars. Afterlife is slated for a 3D release on August 27, 2010.
