During an interview with Inverse , Jovovich explains that she was a big fan of the games which prompted her to sign on to produce the original film and ended up reading for the movie after discovering that Paul W.S Anderson was holding the reins.The series lead then candidly confided that she had originally planned to quit the film over re-writes to include Michelle Rodriguez's role."I almost quit the movie. I was shooting something else, and Paul had hired Michelle Rodriguez to play Rain. And she had just come off Girlfight and there was Oscar buzz. She was very hot at that moment, and my hotness had sort of been already four years old by that point"Jovovich felt that the changes turned her character Alice into "the girl" and Rodriguez's Rain became "the guy" stating that "She got all of my big action scenes, and she became like Alice. And then Alice became this tag-along."“I got to the hotel and said, ‘We have to have a big talk or I’m going to be on a flight tomorrow morning.’ So Paul ended up coming over that evening and we literally sat for three hours and went through the script, page by page,” Jovovich said. “He was like, ‘What do you mean? This didn’t change that much?’ So I was like, ‘Okay, why don’t we start with page one?’"The Resident Evil movies wrapped up this year with Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and according to our review , it's probably a good thing they stopped.
