"Things are really desperate," unit publicist Kym Langlie whispered. "They've just been attacked by crows who have been infected, so undead crows. It's like Hitchcock goes insane. So the scene that we'll see today, they're talking about what [they are] going to do."

Following the scene, Jovovich sat and talked about the film, still clad in her Alice costume (designed with partner Carmen Hawk, with whom she has the clothing label Jovovich-Hawk). Roles in films like The Fifth Element, Ultraviolet, and the Resident Evil movies have solidified her position in Hollywood as an unparalleled female action star, a label she seemed to embrace wholeheartedly while excitedly describing her knife skills, martial arts training, and some of the major, dangerous stunts she's performed in the last few Resident Evil films alone. (Stay tuned for our interview with Jovovich, to be posted soon!)

More Milla from Resident Evil: Extinction

For the uninitiated, Resident Evil: Extinction may seem like your average post-apocalyptic science fiction flick; a band of survivors, on the run from hordes of killer creatures, are making a run for one last outpost of untainted humanity. But this is a Resident Evil movie, so fans of the game (and of the two previous films) can expect lots of backstory about Alice, the outbreak, and the shady entity known as the Umbrella Corporation. The third movie opens years after the second, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, left off. The zombifying T-Virus outbreak has turned most of the world's population into flesh-chomping undead, and super-powered Alice (Jovovich) has gone her separate ways with old pals Carlos (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps). They have themselves joined forces with a caravan of survivors led by Claire Redfield (Ali Larter); meanwhile, the sinister scientists of Umbrella Corporation are conducting experiments with their very own Alice clones.

Writer Paul W.S. Anderson (who also wrote the previous two Resident Evils) has also infused the third film with surprisingly interesting plot twists that extend the mythology of the Resident Evil games into something much more cinematic. Watch for a killer opening sequence.

You can also expect to see all new types of undead creatures, such as an homage to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds that developed into a full-fledged sequence, complete with those infamous computer-generated undead crows. Game loyalists, rejoice -- the filmmakers have found an all new breed of dog that will much more closely represent the frightening undead Dobermans that haunted your video gaming nights.

"We actually found a new type of dog," said Bolt. "It's called a Malinois, a Belgian-Alsation Doberman kind of cross. The most highly used guard dogs in the world. So we can achieve a lot more in camera than we could before. And they're phenomenally aggressive. So they're much closer to the Doberman dog in the game."
