'Resident Evil 6' Movie Release Date: Production Delay Due to Milla Jovovich Pregnancy, Premiere 2016
Earlier this summer, Paul W.S. Anderson, the writer and director of the hit video game-inspired movie series "Resident Evil," announced that the sixth installment wouldn't be able to make it for September 2014 release date because he wasn't able to finish the second draft of the script. However, Milla Jobvovich herself said that filming would also have to be delayed because of her pregnancy.
On her Facebook wall, the actress told fans why they would have to wait for a new "Resident Evil" a bit longer.
"Happy Monday everyone! This was originally going to be a post to tell you how excited I am about flying to Cape Town to begin working on Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. But… My husband Paul and I just discovered that we are expecting another baby!!! So after a lot of discussion, we thought it would be in everyone's best interest to wait till the baby is born before we set out to try and tackle an RE movie," she wrote.

Jovovich also addressed to the production team who, as reported, has already been preparing the set in Cape Town for their arrival.
"I would like to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has been working so hard on the movie in South Africa already and we are so looking forward to working with you all next summer," she added.
As suggested in the movie's working title, "Resident Evil 6" is supposed to be the last installment in the series. It will be filmed entirely in 3D. Previous reports already pointed out that aside from Jovovich (Alice), Li Bingbing will also reprise her role as Ada Wong.
Other speculations also indicated that since this would be the last, fans will be able to see the return of a handful of past characters including Michelle Rodriguez's Rain Ocampo.
"Resident Evil 6: The Final Chapter" can be expected to come out later in 2016.
