"How many movies have this kind of fanbase and get to be made six times? I think that's extraordinary. It's a total testament to [series star] Milla [Jovovich] and Paul. I'm so grateful to them, that they chose me to be a part of it halfway through, and they've kept me along for the ride," she said. "I love that it's not seven men and one woman. I mean, these are two women, and they're not competing with each other. You know, there are such easy clichés these two could fall into, but this is definitely a female power movie."
Unfortunately, Larter could not say much about the movie's plot details, but she did say the film's screenplay was "amazing."
According to the IGN, the film will start production in September, in South Africa. Its release date is currently pegged on Jan. 27, 2017.
