You
were
in
Resident
Evil:
Apocalypse,
why
were
you
originally
interested
in
the
Resident
Evil
films?
I
was
at
a
time
in
my
life
where
I
did
quite
a
bit
of
TV
and
I
was
looking
for
a
role
to
get
back
into
film.
I
got
the
script
for
Resident
Evil:
Apocalypse
and
really
liked
the
character
of
Carlos.
I
thought
it
was
a
lot
of
fun
and
he
was
kind
of
a
cool
action
hero
kind
of
guy.
I
watched
the
first
movie
and
really
enjoyed
it
so
I
decided
to
go
for
it.
What
did
you
think
when
they
asked
you
to
come
back
for
the
third
installment?
I
thought,
“let
me
read
the
script
first
and
we’ll
see
what
it’s
like”
and
the
minute
I
read
the
script
I
thought
it
was
fantastic.
I
was
very
excited
about
it.
How
is
the
third
installment
of
Resident
Evil
different
from
the
previous
two?
It’s
very
different.
The
second
one
was
different
from
the
first
by
the
fact
that
they
move
to
the
outside
world
from
being
in
the
hive
and
underground.
All
of
a
sudden
the
movie
was
much
bigger.
It
involved
helicopters
and
big
skyscrapers.
Now,
the
third
one
is
completely
different.
The
third
installment
takes
place
in
a
post
apocalyptic
world
where
there’s
almost
no
human
beings
living
anymore;
it’s
all
undead.
The
undead
have
claimed
the
cities
back
and
it
has
a
totally
different
feel.
Most
of
it
takes
place
during
daytime
in
a
desert-like
atmosphere
or
out
in
the
dunes
in
the
desert.
It’s
much
more
of
an
action
thriller,
much
more
of
an
adventure.
There
are
quite
a
few
more
characters
for
us
to
fall
in
love
with
and
a
lot
more
eccentric
characters
that
really
move
the
story
forward.
In
my
opinion
it’s
the
best
of
all
three.
It’s
very
well
written,
very
well
directed.
It
looks
fantastic.
Tell
me
a
little
about
Carlos
Olivera.
What
type
of
guy
is
he?
I
had
the
background
storyline
of
the
games
before
we
shot
the
second
film
and
on
the
third
you
just
imagine
what
he’s
gone
through
since
the
last
movie.
Carlos
is
the
type
of
guy
that
it
comes
very
naturally
to
him
to
be
the
fighter.
He
does
very
well
with
the
weapons
and
all
the
rest
of
it.
Emotionally,
I
think
he
had
a
very
close
attachment
with
Milla’s
character,
Alice.
That
kind
of
broke
off
during
the
time
between
the
two
movies
and
so
he
was
kind
of
alone
in
the
group.
I
think
he’s
seen
so
many
people
die
and
he’s
lost
so
many
friends
that
he’s
become
a
little
bit
numb
to
it
and
a
little
bit
distant
from
it.
He
is
still
working
as
much
as
he
can
for
the
right
cause
and
trying
to
survive
and
help
anyone
in
need,
anyone
that’s
still
alive.
What
do
you
think
is
going
through
his
mind
when
he
sees
Alice
again?
The
way
I
tried
to
portray
it
is
that
he’s
trying
to
play
it
cool
because
he
doesn’t
know
what
she
feels
or
how
long
she’s
going
to
stick
around,
and
on
the
other
hand
he’s
very
excited
and
happy
to
see
her
again.
It’s
a
difficult
situation
to
have,
straightforward
relationships
between
a
man
and
a
woman
in
these
kinds
of
circumstances.
You’re
fighting
for
survival
everyday
and
you’re
thankful
for
every
moment
you
get.
It’s
a
little
bit
different
than
what
we
normal
human
beings
in
a
normal
world
go
through.
Do
you
relate
to
Carlos
in
any
way?
How?
Yeah,
I
think
so.
He’s
just
a
guy
trying
to
do
the
best
he
can
and
has
feelings
for
this
woman
who
is
so
overwhelmed
by
so
many
different
forces
that
are
driving
her
in
so
many
different
directions
that
it’s
love
unrequited.
It’s
difficult,
but
he’s
a
nice
guy
trying
to
do
the
best
that
he
can.
What
is
Carlos’
relationship
to
the
Umbrella
Corporation?
His
relationship
now
is
non-existent,
other
than
the
fact
that
he
worked
for
them
thinking
he
was
doing
a
good
thing.
He
thought
he
was
working
for
a
corporation
working
for
the
common
good
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
realizes
that
they’re
the
cause
for
this
nightmare
and
that
they
just
left
him
for
dead.
I
think
he
definitely
turned
and
realized
that
they’re
the
enemy.
How
did
the
group
of
survivors
find
each
other?
They
probably
just
ran
into
each
other.
It’s
probably
one
of
those
things
when
there
were
a
few
survivors
and
their
paths
would
cross.
The
way
we
kind
of
set
it
up
was
that
Ali
Larter’s
character
has
set
up
this
convoy
and
at
some
point
Carlos
joined
them.
It’s
always
better
being
in
a
group
than
on
your
own
trying
to
fight
the
undead.
They
found
this
way
of
staying
on
the
move
and
having
a
little
city
with
everything
they
need,
the
school
bus,
gas
tanker,
a
little
hospital,
which
is
a
little
van
and
an
army
truck
and
all
of
that
is
in
a
constant
state
of
motion.
What
are
they
trying
to
accomplish
in
this
movie?
In
the
movie
we
find
that
there’s
a
slight
chance
that
there
is
a
place
on
earth
that
the
infection
hasn’t
gotten
to
yet
and
there’s
a
chance
at
having
a
normal
life,
being
able
to
stay
put
in
one
place
and
rebuild.
I
think
it’s
something
they’re
all
dreaming
about
and
they’re
all
wishing
for.
Was
this
role
physically
demanding
for
you?
Definitely.
This
is
definitely
a
lot
more
of
a
physically
demanding
role.
Whenever
you
do
these
kinds
of
action
movies
it’s
a
lot
more
physically
demanding.
The
conditions
of
which
we
shot
in
were
crazy.
The
heat
was
crazy.
We
were
shooting
in
125
degrees.
The
camera
would
breakdown.
The
cars
would
breakdown.
The
trucks
would
breakdown.
Everything
would
breakdown
constantly.
It
was
amazing.
It
was
nature
at
its
most
powerful
so
all
of
that
was
very
demanding.
How
did
you
prepare
for
the
physical
demands
of
this
role?
Basically
as
soon
as
you
get
the
script
and
you
realize
this
is
what
your
next
job
is
going
to
be
you
start
working
out
for
it
and
training
for
it,
whether
you
start
doing
a
little
more
martial
arts
again
and
things
like
that
or
trying
to
buff
up
so
you
look
a
little
bit
more
the
part.
I
just
tried
to
workout
as
much
as
I
could
on
one
hand,
and
on
the
other
hand
try
not
to
lose
that
lean
look
of
someone
who
is
living
in
a
situation
where
food
is
scarce.
That’s
about
it.
What
was
it
like
working
with
Russell?
Russell
was
great.
Russell
is
definitely
very
very
good.
He’s
got
a
great
vision.
The
movie
definitely
looks
wonderful.
It
was
very
good
as
far
as
character
goes,
build
it
whenever
you
need
to,
and
keep
it
lighter
whenever
you
don’t.
It
was
great.
How
much
does
the
movie
relate
to
the
videogame?
It
relates
in
the
fact
that
the
characters,
Ali’s
character,
my
character
are
characters
that
exist
in
the
games.
The
creatures
are
obviously
from
the
game.
There’s
a
lot
of
things
about
the
movie
that
are
very
derivative
of
the
game
for
instance
we
see
a
lot
of
the
point
of
view
of
the
Umbrella
Corporation.
We
see
a
computerized
map
or
a
satellite
image
that
are
very
much
like
what
you
would
see
in
the
games,
very
similar
to
the
game.
The
general
story
of
the
Umbrella
Corporation
and
the
whole
infection,
it’s
all
in
the
game.
But
then
again
there’s
a
lot
of
things
that
were
created
that
were
not
in
the
game.
I
think
gamers
will
definitely
find
that
it’s
very
much
the
genre,
the
feel
of
Resident
Evil
the
game.
Was
it
helpful
having
Paul
Anderson
on
set?
Anytime
you
have
the
writer/creator
on
set
it’s
a
huge
benefit.
He
was
re-writing
things
as
we
were
going
along
almost
everyday,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
Paul
is
such
a
wonderful
guy
and
so
easily
accessible
and
great
about
working
with
a
team.
It
was
wonderful.
It
kept
Milla
happy
too,
obviously.
What
was
it
like
working
with
Milla?
She’s
great.
She’s
absolutely
great.
She
has
an
absolutely
mad
energy
to
her.
She’s
so
alive
and
funny
and
strong
and
she
works
the
hardest
out
of
anybody.
She’s
the
most
giving
actress.
There’s
no
ego
at
all.
It’s
wonderful
seeing
her
work
with
other
actors.
I’ve
experienced
it
in
the
last
movie
working
with
her,
but
on
this
movie
again
she’s
working
with
a
new
actress
and
she’s
just
so
giving.
There’s
never
an
issue.
She’s
really
really
a
hard
worker.
Physically
it’s
amazing
how
she
prepares
herself
and
how
hard
she
works
doing
the
fights
and
the
kicks
and
jumps
and
all
of
that.
To
top
it
all
off
she
just
looks
ridiculously
amazing.
There
are
great
special
effects
in
this
movie.
How
did
you
take
on
that
challenge
of
working
with
the
special
effects?
It’s
funny,
when
I
first
started
working,
special
effects
were
kind
of
a
new
thing
for
me
and
now
everyone’s
so
used
to
it.
It’s
become
second
nature.
If
you
use
your
imagination
that
somebody’s
a
bad
guy,
you
can
use
your
imagination
that
somebody
that’s
not
there
is
a
bad
guy.
You
just
use
your
imagination
a
lot
and
you’re
very
much
led
by
the
director
and
special
effects
representatives
or
whoever’s
there
working
with
you.
They
try
to
explain
to
you
what
it’s
going
to
look
like,
how
it’s
going
to
look
and
you
just
do
the
best
that
you
can.
Sometimes
you
see
something
that
the
audience
will
probably
never
notice,
but
in
your
head
you’re
like
“oh
my
gosh,
I’m
reacting
to
a
completely
different
thing”
or
“I
had
a
completely
different
image
of
what
this
was
going
to
look
like”.
It’s
used
so
much
in
almost
everything
you
do
so
it’s
just
part
of
the
job.
It
almost
takes
you
back
to
the
most
natural
instincts
of
being
a
child
and
imagining…
I’ve
got
to
tell
you
this
whole
job
is
like
that.
I
see
my
son
doing
it
very
easily
at
pre-school
with
his
friends.
I
had
career
day,
when
you
go
and
talk
to
the
kids
and
try
to
explain
to
them
what
you
do
and
I
realized
that
I’m
literally
doing
the
same
exact
things
that
they
are
doing.
Do
you
enjoy
working
in
the
horror/thriller
genre?
I
enjoy
all
of
it.
I
can’t
tell
you
that
the
horror/thriller
genre
is
the
genre
that
I
enjoy
watching.
I’m
not
a
big
horror
movie
king
of
a
guy
because
I
get
too
scared
of
it,
but
when
I’m
watching
something
that
I’ve
done
I
kind
of
know
when
the
scary
parts
are
coming
so
it
doesn’t
really
scare
me
that
much.
With
that
being
said,
anytime
there’s
a
good
script
or
the
people
I’m
working
with
are
great
artists,
I
just
love
it.
How
do
you
go
about
choosing
your
projects?
I
try
to
choose
projects
where
there’s
something
in
the
script
that
attracts
me,
whether
it’s
a
great
script
or
the
character
that
I’m
going
to
be
playing
has
something
special
or
the
people
I’d
be
getting
involved
with
are
wonderful.
When
I
was
offered
a
very
small
role
in
Dreamer
I
loved
the
script
and
the
opportunity
of
working
with
Kurt
Russell
and
Kris
Kristofferson
I
just
didn’t
want
to
pass
on
it,
so
even
though
I
had
very
little
to
do
on
that
film
it
was
a
wonderful
experience.
What
projects
do
you
have
coming
up?
I
just
did
a
movie
with
Melissa
George,
a
small
independent
movie
for
MGM
with
Amanda
Gusack
directing.
It
was
my
first
independent
movie
that
I’ve
ever
done.
I
really
loved
the
experience.
I
think
it’s
going
to
turn
out
really
cool.
Melissa
is
an
amazing
actress,
and
it
was
such
a
pleasure
working
with
her.
It
was
really
great.
