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.
Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Oded Fehr, Boris Kodjoe, Mika Nakashima and writer/director Paul W. S. Anderson will attend the Comic-Con panel to discuss the successful film franchise and show never-before-seen footage from the latest installment.

4:13

Silas Lesnick: Like a lot of the RE trailers, this one opens with a fake-out, mimicking a romantic comedy
4:17
Silas Lesnick: We see that Alice has been imprinted in a fake life in a suburban house with a husband and kid.
4:17
Silas Lesnick: Much of the opening is the same as the old trailer, but this one seems be extra-long

Comment From REFan
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.)
4:26
Silas Lesnick: Milla, Boris Kodjoe, Michelle Rodriguez, Mika Nakashima and Oded Fehr are the ones on stage.

Silas Lesnick: Milla jokes that all Paul (her husband) does when he directs is “press record”
4:32
Silas Lesnick: Milla says that being “suburban Alice” was much harder than doing action

Silas Lesnick: It was trickier being frightened and screaming than just blasting things with a machine gun
4:33
Silas Lesnick: Someone mentioned to Michelle that her characters tend to come back from the dead and whether or not her AVATAR character might come back.
4:33
Silas Lesnick: “That’s a James Cameron question,” she said.
4:33
Silas Lesnick: “This is definitely the beginning of the end,” says Paul about the franchise.
4:33

Silas Lesnick: She says they never talk about a sequel while they’re working on one, but that Paul did mention a sixth one that will probably end the Alice arc.
4:38
Silas Lesnick: “I gyrate a lot,” says Michelle about her exercise routine.
4:39
Silas Lesnick: Someone is asking about how Michelle and Oded feel about returning from the dead
