We’re settling in to live blog the panel for you, dear reader, and give you the highlights as they happen!
In Resident Evil: Retribution, we learn more about Alice’s mysterious past as she continues to hunt those at The Umbrella Corporation responsible for the T-virus outbreak, a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything she once thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, including the return of Michelle Rodriguez as Rain Ocampo, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion.
Appearing in person: Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Oded Fehr, Boris Kodjoe, Mika Nakashima and writer/director Paul W. S. Anderson.

I want to hear as much detail as possible, ignore the haters!
4:23
Silas Lesnick: Jill and Alice begin a pretty epic fight, but it cuts off midway through just as the action hits a fever pitch
4:24
Silas Lesnick: (It’s Alice who shoots Rain. Rain stands as the bullets fall from her body and hit the bloody snow and her wounds close themselves.)
