Few games have successfully survived the transition to the big screen, but Paul W.S. Anderson's track record with such projects has been as good as anyone's. After directing the surprise hit Mortal Kombat, Anderson went on to produce and write a threesome of pictures based on Capcom's Resident Evil series of games, the first of which he also directed.

　　It appears Resident Evil film franchise may be even tougher to kill than its trademark zombies, as the MTV Movies Blog is reporting that Anderson is in talks to return for a fourth flick. Although Resident Evil: Extinction concluded with a ready-made setup for a sequel, the blog is reporting that Anderson hasn't nailed down a story yet, something that has been delaying progress on the project.

　　"I love the Resident Evil franchise and we always try to make the best possible movie we can," Anderson told the site. "If we could find a good Resident Evil 4 to make, then we would do it," he said. "But I wouldn't just do it for the sake of it, that's for sure."

　　Regardless of what happens with the series, Anderson isn't about to shake his association with game adaptations anytime soon. He's signed on to direct the long-awaited Spy Hunter film, and is also attached to a movie based on Konami's Castlevania series.
