Resident Evil Retribution gets a slight title change and synopsis

Among the many films coming out in 2012 will be Paul W.S. Anderson’s Re5ident Evil: Retribution. And no, that “5″ in the title isn’t a typo. The studio is actually officially naming that. Anyway, we haven’t seen anything from the film yet, but Screen Gems has released (via STYD) the official synopsis for the film:

“The wildly successful film franchise adaptation that has grossed nearly $700 million worldwide to the popular video game series, Resident Evil, returns in its highly anticipated fifth installment, RE5IDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION in state-of-the art 3D.

The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, ALICE (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun”.

Re5ident Evil: Retribution opens on September 14th.
