Wentworth Miller researches 'Resident Evil'
Wentworth Miller admits he did extensive preparation for his role in the upcoming action movie 'Resident Evil: Afterlife'.
The 'Prison Break' star appears as Chris Redfield alongside Ali Larter and Milla Jovovich in the popular franchise's next instalment.
"Obviously he's central to the video game from the beginning, but this is his introduction into the movie version of 'Resident Evil'. It was a challenge preparing for the part. I wanted to do my research and see what the fan expectation might be, and respect what was already out there in terms of mythology and history," he told Cinema Blend.
The videogames and films famously feature a wide variety of zombies, which Miller finds terrifying.
"I think there's something about evil that is thoughtless and relentless that is incredibly frightening, because it can't be reckoned with or reasoned with or stopped. That onslaught of terror, I think, speaks to our darkest fears, that evil is coming for us and there's nothing we can do."
The latest film was filmed in 3D which Miller found challenging: "Yeah, it's a lot harder to cheat the audience in 3D. The camera, it's basically as if it can see around corners. If you throw a punch at someone's face and you don't connect, and of course you never would because it's choreographed - they can see that. They can see the miss. It challenges us to step up our game and sell these sequences to the audience."
