Wentworth Miller Interview RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE

Wentworth Miller is the latest actor to join the Resident Evil franchise. In the latest installment, Resident Evil: Afterlife, he plays Chris Redfield, brother to Claire (Ali Larter) and a character straight out fo the popular video games. Unfamiliar with the video game when he was cast, he made sure to do his research and see what the fan expectation was for the character, before developing the character for himself.
While at Comic-Con, Wentworth Miller spoke at a roundtable about being a fan of the genre and his excitement in joining such an internationally successful franchise. He also talked about the writing projects that he’s developing – a feature film called Stoker, that’s part horror film, part family drama and part psychological thriller, all wrapped in one, along with its prequel, Uncle Charlie.

 

Check out what he had to say after the jump:


Question: What can you say about your role in this film?

Wentworth: I play Chris Redfield. 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 because I felt like there were a lot of different things that I wanted to bounce. I wanted to do my research and see what the fan expectation might be, in respect to what was already out there, with the mythology and history. So, I did research online and went to fan sites and blogs, so that I could educate myself. Then, there was also what I bring to the table as an actor, naturally.  And then, there was also what Chris Redfield existed in Paul Anderson’s movie, specifically, because I have to make sense with his larger whole. I can’t be some sort of stand-alone. This thing is pretty far down the track, and my job is to jump on it and become a seamless part of that larger hole. I’d like to think, with all those varying components, I did my best. Resident Evil the latest sequel : Afterlife.
