How
did
you
originally
become
a
part
of
this
project?
My
little
brother
was
a
big
fan
of
the
game
and
we
used
to
play
all
the
time
together.
I
thought
it
would
be
fun
to
be
in
these
movies
that
were
his
favorite
game
so
I
asked
my
agent
if
they
were
making
Resident
Evil
films
and
found
out
they
were
so
I
went
out
and
auditioned
for
them.
Why
do
you
keep
coming
back
to
this
character?
It’s
fun
for
me.
I
love
action
films.
I’ve
always
loved
sci-fi.
I
never
thought
that
it
would
end
up
being
in
this
many
films
but
at
the
same
time
it’s
fun
for
me.
I
enjoy
the
franchise.
It’s
not
very
often
you
can
have
a
three
DVD
box
set
under
your
belt.
I
think
it’s
been
a
great
and
amazing
part
of
my
life.
How
has
Alice
evolved
throughout
the
films?
She
definitely
started
out
much
more
innocent
to
everything.
We
were
finding
out
as
she
found
out
what
was
going
on
in
the
story.
I
think
through
time
she’s
gained
so
much
experience
and
met
people
she
really
cares
about.
In
the
third
movie
she
grows
a
lot
because
she
has
to
sacrifice
herself
to
make
sure
the
people
she
loves
don’t
get
hurt
and
she’s
very
isolated.
Rather
than
potentially
harming
people
because
of
these
new
powers
she
has,
she
chooses
to
go
on
her
own
in
the
middle
of
nowhere
and
just
kind
of
runs
away
from
people.
It’s
a
big
change
from
the
first
film.
She’s
also
changed
with
me.
I’ve
grown
seven
years
through
this
whole
process.
I
think
if
you
grow,
your
character
grows
too.
Have
you
taken
a
different
approach
to
her
as
you’ve
gotten
more
intimate
with
the
character?
Definitely.
I
think
each
time
I’ve
played
her
there’s
been
small
changes,
away
from
script
changes,
but
in
the
way
she
is
and
the
way
she
communicates
with
people.
It’s
really
fun
to
be
able
to
implement
changes
just
because
it’s
fun
to
not
play
the
same
thing
over
and
over.
I
always
try
to
change
it
up
a
little
bit
each
film.
In
what
way
have
the
movies
benefited
from
working
with
different
directors?
It
really
makes
the
franchise
more
interesting
because
each
film
has
its
own
world
and
its
own
feeling.
That
makes
it
its
own
kind
of
count,
rather
than
each
film
looking
the
same
and
feeling
the
same.
You’ve
got
three
different
points
of
view
of
the
world,
of
the
characters,
of
the
game.
It
makes
it
fresh
and
different
for
the
audience.
How
would
you
describe
Russell
as
a
director?
Russell
for
me
was
a
real
joy
to
be
around,
especially
because
he’s
got
so
much
energy.
He’s
such
a
kid
when
he’s
on
set,
always
running
around
with
so
much
enthusiasm.
When
you’re
working
in
such
difficult
conditions
like
we
were
on
this
film,
it’s
really
important
to
have
somebody
there
to
motivate
you
to
do
your
best
and
he
really
was
that
great
motivational
factor
because
he
was
working
harder
than
anybody.
He
even
ended
up
going
to
the
hospital
for
dehydration
because
we
were
filming
in
the
desert
in
145
degree
weather.
He
really
made
us
want
to
do
our
best
because
he
was
trying
to
do
his
best.
Do
you
think
the
movies
would
be
what
they
are
without
Paul
Anderson’s
input?
Definitely
not.
Paul
is
the
driving
force
behind
this
franchise.
He
himself
is
a
big
gamer
and
it
started
out
because
he
was
such
a
huge
fan
of
the
Resident
Evil
game.
Without
Paul
this
would
have
ran
out
of
steam
after
the
first
movie.
It’s
because
he
keeps
coming
back
with
new
ideas
and
can’t
just
leave
that
world.
I
guess
the
movies
just
keep
coming
in
a
way.
I
can’t
image
somebody
else
would
be
able
to
write
something
as
interesting
because
they
wouldn’t
have
the
same
connection
that
he
has
with
this
game.
He
really
loves
what
he
does
and
you
can
see
that
in
the
quality
of
films
that
he
makes.
What
do
you
like
about
the
horror/thriller
genre?
First
of
all
I
love
doing
crazy
things,
especially
in
controlled
environments
where
it’s
95
percent
safe.
I
wouldn’t
dare
to
run
down
buildings
or
jump
off
high
places,
be
on
wires
anywhere
else.
To
be
able
to
work
with
such
incredible
trainers,
to
learn
to
use
new
weapons,
practice
martial
arts,
which
I
love,
it’s
a
real
plus
for
me.
I
get
a
chance
to
work
with
the
best
people
in
the
industry
and
it’s
challenging.
It’s
fun
for
me.
It
keeps
me
in
shape
and
I
get
to
go
into
this
other
world.
I
get
to
be
a
superhero,
which
of
course
would
be
fun
for
anybody
I
would
imagine.
There
are
great
special
effects
in
this
movie.
Did
that
interfere
with
your
acting
at
all?
Not
really.
Of
course
it
takes
a
stretch
of
the
imagination
to
be
able
to
see
what
everything
is
going
to
be
because
when
we’re
shooting
we
don’t
actually
get
to
see
what’s
going
on.
At
the
same
time
it’s
acting
and
a
lot
of
times
actors
have
to
put
themselves
in
situations
in
their
own
minds
that
don’t
really
exist.
It’s
pretty
much
the
same
thing
I
would
imagine.
In
what
way
do
you
relate
to
the
character
of
Alice?
I
really
have
a
lot
of
respect
for
Alice
because
she
embodies
a
lot
of
things
that
I
personally
would
love
to
have
in
my
own
personality.
She’s
strong.
She’s
decisive.
She
really
takes
action
when
she
feels
something
and
I
think
a
lot
of
times
in
our
own
lives
its
difficult
to
really
go
for
it.
I
can
be,
especially
in
my
own
personal
life,
very
indecisive
even
when
it
comes
to
deciding
what
restaurant
to
go
to
or
business
decisions.
It’s
so
hard
for
me.
I
think
about
it
so
much,
to
actually
be
able
to
go
out
and
help
people
the
way
she
does.
I
can
do
charity
work.
I
can
try
to
help
in
that
way
but
at
the
same
time
it’s
not
as
hands
on
as
Alice
is
and
of
course
I
hope
in
my
own
life
to
implement
some
of
her
hands
on
ability
to
fix
problems,
whether
it’s
making
my
house
greener,
trying
to
help
the
environment
around
me,
even
in
the
smallest
ways
possible.
I
just
try
to
be
more
hands
on
with
things
that
I
believe
in.
What
type
of
emotions
is
Alice
experiencing
when
she
meets
up
with
the
convoy
of
survivors?
What
is
happening
in
the
film
is
Alice
has
been
tracking
the
convoy
to
make
sure
that
if
anything
happens
to
them
she
can
help,
but
to
stay
far
enough
away
from
them
that
her
superpowers
get
out
of
control
she
doesn’t
hurt
anybody.
She’s
very
much
scared
that
everybody
could
be
dead
because
she
sees
these
strange
crows
flying
and
she
feels
that
something’s
wrong.
There’s
also
a
major
fear
that
while
trying
to
help
them
she
will
hurt
them.
There’s
a
major
battle
going
on
inside
of
her
whether
she
should
stay
or
not,
whether
she
should
help
or
not.
What’s
more
dangerous,
to
let
them
be
on
their
own
or
to
help
them
fight
the
things
trying
to
attack
them?
She
herself
can
potentially
be
controlled
by
the
Umbrella
Corporation
so
there’s
always
a
chance
that
she
could
hurt
them
more
than
help
them.
What
qualities
set
this
film
apart
from
the
previous
two?
Superficially,
visually
this
film
is
so
different
from
the
previous
two.
It
takes
place
in
the
desert.
It’s
a
post
apocalyptic
world.
It
takes
place
during
the
day,
very
stark
beautiful
shots
of
this
amazing
landscape.
It’s
very
different
visually.
Then
script-wise
we
have
some
really
great
characters.
We
have
Claire
Redfield
played
by
Ali
Larter,
which
is
a
really
cool
character
that
is
introduced
in
this
movie.
We
have
Oded
Fehr’s
character,
Carlos,
coming
back.
He
and
Alice
share
something
that
they’ve
never
really
been
able
to
show
one
another.
We’ve
got
a
really
interesting
script.
We’ve
got
these
really
cool
twists
and
turns
with
these
clones
of
Alice.
From
all
sides
it’s
just
a
really
interesting
take
on
the
old
Resident
Evil
world.
How
did
your
modeling
career
evolve
into
an
acting
career?
My
mom
was
an
actress
in
Russia,
where
I
was
born.
It
was
something
I
always
knew
I
wanted
to
do,
to
follow
in
her
footsteps.
She
started
me
acting
when
I
was
very
young,
when
I
was
nine
years
old.
I
did
my
first
movie
at
eleven
and
that
kind
of
fawned
my
modeling
career
because
in
some
sense
I
needed
to
get
new
acting
headshots
done
and
the
photographer
had
them
put
make-up
on
me
at
the
end
of
the
shoot
and
was
really
shocked
that
I
looked
so
“grown
up”
in
pictures.
I
was
taken
by
an
agency
and
started
working
as
a
model.
I
think
it
all
kind
of
goes
hand
in
hand
for
me
personally
because
I’ve
been
able
to
keep
myself
in
the
public
eye
through
my
modeling
career.
Acting’s
always
been
my
first
love.
Everything’s
benefited
everything
else.
You
are
a
true
entrepreneur,
model,
actress,
musician,
fashion
designer.
How
do
you
decide
what
project
to
work
on
next?
It’s
all
very
organic.
It
really
depends
on
how
I’m
feeling
and
what
is
interesting
to
me
in
the
moment.
I
find
it
doesn’t
take
much
of
a
thought
process.
You
just
do
what
you’re
naturally
interested
in.
If
an
interesting
job
comes
along,
I’ll
do
it,
whether
it’s
a
movie
or
a
modeling
job.
My
fashion
line
is
something
that
I
started
a
few
years
ago
and
it
pretty
much
includes
my
love
for
style
and
my
love
for
clothing
as
a
woman.
Also,
I’m
an
artist.
I
love
to
draw
and
I
get
to
draw
the
designs..
It’s
all
things
I
enjoy
doing
on
my
own,
which
thankfully
translates
into
a
great
career.
What
upcoming
projects
do
you
have?
I’m
actually
going
at
the
end
of
the
month
to
do
a
small
cameo
in
my
friend’s
film,
actually
the
godfather
of
my
child,
Wim
Wenders.
I’m
going
to
be
playing
a
pregnant
superhero
for
him
in
his
new
movie.
I
was
supposed
to
do
a
movie
this
year
but
because
of
my
pregnancy
I
had
to
cancel
it,
but
maybe
we’re
going
to
do
it
in
the
spring
called
“The
Winter
Queen.”
It’s
based
on
a
novel
by
a
famous
Russian
author
named
Boris
Akunin.
I’m
having
a
baby
in
November
so
that’s
about
it.
We
just
came
back
from
fashion
week
actually.
We
got
great
reviews
on
the
collection.
