Since the mid-80’s, Ukrainian-born American multitalent Milla Jovovich has graced the general public with her beauty and brains. Aside from her extensive modeling background, Milla has received worldwide (critical) acclaim as the other half of designer duo Jovovich-Hawk as well as having established herself a solid career in film.

Well, it’s here at last - Milla and Ali Larter’s interview session with Moviefone Unscripted. Andie just informed me that the video clip is online and can now be found at AOL.com. :) Unfortunately for us international fans, the video is only available in the U.S. and for Windows users (which is bloody unbelievable if you ask me).

Update: The ever lovely Kate of ResidentEvilMovies.net kindly sent in a transcript of the video for us non-U.S. residents to enjoy. Personally, I think this was an awesome interview session! You’ll find the transcript under the “read more”-cut. :) Ooh, and we finally have a potential birthday for Milla’s baby girl - November 4 2007! Congratulations! :D

A media update coming up later today, stay tuned! Here it is! The ever great Dale was kind enough to send in a batch of hi-res versions of existing photos at our gallery as well as new ones; below is a list of new and updated albums. Enjoy! :) And don’t forget - it’s the eve of the Resident Evil: Extinction Las Vegas world premiere. *_*

Moviefone Unscripted Interview session with Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter
Transcript thanks to Kate of ResidentEvilMovies.net.

Milla: Oh I can’t wait just to get back to normal.

Ali: What’s the date?

M: November 4th.

A: Uh, so soon!

M: I know!

A: Like you are there. You know boy or girl?

M: Girl.

A: I had no idea!

M: Yeah!

M: Hi, welcome to Moviefone’s Unscripted. I’m Milla Jovovich and I’m here with Ali Larter we’re gonna’ talk about our new film Resident Evil: Extinction. And uh, we’re going to be answering some of your questions. And we even have a few of our own! So let’s do it.

A: Yeah. Let’s get in it.

Both: -laughter-

Q: How did you prepare for the role of Claire Redfield, and were you nervous taking on such a popular gaming character?

- Alissa
Toronto, Canada.

M: So how did you prepare to play Claire Redfield and were you nervous in any way because she’s such a big character?

A: I was because you know, the fans of Resident Evil are very, very loyal fans.

M: Yeah.

A: So you know when you know you’re depicting someone when you already have an idea in their head, made me a little bit nervous. But then you go you know, I mean, Paul has you know, gave me definitely the broad strokes of it. And then and then I tried to make up my own and have fun. And it was great to be a red head. I loved that. It was so beautiful in the movie.

M: It was so fabulous!

A: How cool is it though that they actually like allowed strong female characters in a movie. What I love about this genre to begin with, was they allow women to kick butt. Like anything a boy can do a girl can do better.

M: Well it’s true, and it’s funny. Because when I first got involved in this franchise. It was my little brother who introduced me to, and he was playing the female character in the game. And he was like thirteen at the time, and he played Jill Valentine.

A: Wow. Really.

M: So it’s like one those things where the boys play the girls just because they’re so cool.

A: -adds on-

M: So one of the only games that’s like that.

A: Are you the coolest thing to him since you did that role?

M: Well are you kidding, that’s why I did the first movie. I was like okay, my little brother is going to think I’m God if I do this.

Both: -Laughter-.

A: If Capcom asked you to lend your voice or your likeness to the games, would you?

-Dale
Cleveland, OH.

A: And do you know what Capcom is, because I do not?

Both: -Laughter.-

M: I happen to know what Capcom is. Capcom is the uh, the uh people that make the Resident Evil games. I would love to. I think it would be really amazing to have Alice be a character or have something to do with the games. But you know so far, I don’t know, they’re being really weird about it…

A: You’re so distinguishable is this character. Like I was talking to people today, and you have Sigourney Weaver in you have a little Linda Hamilton and you have created all these characters!

M: -Laughter-

A: But I do! I think about present day and I think you have created like a kind of iconic kind of action star.

M: Thank you.

A: You are so excited when they hear about you and hear about this movie, that I was like so pumped to be in it.

M: And I have to say by the second movie I wasn’t totally happy with it. And suddenly I get this third script and I’m like okay. Like what are they gonna’ do , movie three? And I was so not ready to do it and then I read the script. And I was like Las Vegas half buried in the sand. Amazing. Oh my God. With Claire Redfield that’s so cool! Alice clones and I get to die in 25 different ways. Whoa this is amazing!

A: -Laughter-

Q: Who is the biggest ass-kicker: Claire Redfield in ‘Resident Evil’ or Jessica Sanders from ‘Heroes’

- Andrea
Boulder, CO
[via text message]

A: Oooh.

M: -Laughter-

A: It is like you know, what is so fun about getting to play. Like on Heroes I play this girl named Nikki Sanders, and she’s a single mom trying to battle all things in her life trying to get by. So on one side of it, I get to you know play some emotional, sensitive stuff with my son. Then they developed my alter ego. And I play this vicious really like kind of like sexy, sadistic character. But then that balance, we had just finished shooting the pilot of Heroes when the script came in.

And what I love about Claire is she will do whatever she has to do to survive but it’s selfless. I think everything about these two female characters is there doing it to protect others. I think they’re not coming from a place where it’s in anyway self involved. Where they’re giving their lives to protect others.

A: All right, we have got to talk about the heat. How did you deal with it, what were your thoughts about it?

M: Well it was intense, man. You know, I’ve done like two other movies of this series before. And I thought I’ve prepared for everything. I know how to use the guns, I know how to use the knives, I’ve done martial arts before. Whatever. I’m just gonna sleep walk through this. Before you know it I’m out in the desert 145 degrees.

A: What’s 145 degrees?

M: Kay? Like no joke. And suddenly you know I’m hanging on wires you know 50 feet in the air, and like there’s a sand storm and I’m swinging like a pendulum. I mean it was frightening!

A: It was full on. I mean you know I was thinking that I wouldn’t have had it any other way though. Because you take the kind of movie where there was this hyper real world. And anyway that you can base it and ground it. You know it’s like the sweaty is really sweaty. But if you see people tired and like the way when you’re working in the heat, it makes you feel, it’s true to the story.

Q: What are your favorite horror films?

Jason
Kansas City, MO.

M: Oh gosh, you know, well I’d have to say, well The Shining would have to take the cake. As my favorite sort of scary movie. I mean that’s the kind of film that will set you up for the rest of your life.

Fear of hallways.

Fear of…like you know, strange little girls.

A: Fear of Jack Nicholson.

M: Fear of Jack Nicholson. No but it’s true, I mean that has some imagery that you know is like unforgettable you know. But I mean straight up like horror movies, like the Saw movies were really fun. But of course I’m watching the whole thing like this. Because I can’t deal. The Hills Have Eyes which is really rad.

A: I can’t see them! I can’t even go to a horror movie.

M: Well we rent them, we lay in bed and my fiancé and I love all that kind of stuff and I’m sitting there like aaah!

A: My sister used to terrorize me. When I was you know a little girl. Ever since I hate being scared, you can’t like get me there. I love action stuff and I love all that, but being scared is an emotion I do not like to go back to.

Q: Will this season of Heroes explore your powers more? Also, how about getting Milla on as a guest star? :)

- Dale
Wayne, NJ

M: How about getting me on as a guest star.

A: I love it Dale, anything I can do to take care of a Jersey guy, I’m in.

M: Do you need a pregnant super hero?

A: Always. Amazing.

M: Rub her belly and unleashes this amazing power. I can shoot… -points to her breasts- No.

A: We’ve been here for alot of hours!

A: They’re definitely going to explore some new characters to this show and new characters that can surprise everybody.

Both: -Laughter-

M: You let them know that I have some new powers.

Q: Do you ever compare your performance in the r.e. movies to those of other strong women characters like Angelina Jolie’s ‘Lara Croft’ or Kate Beckinsale’s ‘Selene’?

- Lisa
Edgewater, FL

M: Um, well you know I love watching beautiful women kick butt, I just think it’s so inspiring. And I mean you know as a kid I never got off on watching big muscular men shooting guns. You know but to see beautiful women do martial arts. I actually did a song for Kate Beckinsale’s movie Underworld. I love those girls they’re awesome.

A: Will you share your movies with your children?

M: Are you kidding me? Not till she’s like fifteen, sixteen. It’s hilarious because I always tell Paul she’s not going to be able to see any of our films. Till she’s like a grown up.

M: So thank you Ali so much.

A: Thank you Milla!

M: Thanks for all your questions, and be sure to see Resident Evil: Extinction.

A: Be sure to check it out.

Outtakes:

M: I love this chair, it hides me.

A: It’s a perfect fit for you?

Both: -Laughter-

    Oh shit, they asked my question about if Capcom has asked Milla to lend her voice or likeness to the games.

    They listed as me from Ohio for some reason though, I live in Georgia.

    Damn, 7 minutes in and they asked the question I asked Ali about the second season of Heroes exploring her character’s abilities more and if Ali could get Milla a gues spot on the show.

    But this time they said I was from New Jersey.

    LOL! Thats odd! Well, maybe they wanted to give the impression that it wasn’t the same person making the questions, hehe. :D

    I just got the transcript of the video from Kate, this was an awesome interview session! :D Now if only I could get my hands on the video itself…

    Sandra, do you have a FLV video player? I ask because I’m uploading the video onto megaupload as I tpye this so I can send it to you (it’s 32 MB).

  5. Comment posted by Sandra on September 20th, 2007 at 1:19 am

    Ohh, _thank you_ Dale, you’re a lifesaver! I just downloaded the clip and VLC is playing it just fine. :D Gosh, this is one of Milla’s best interviews, definitely.

  6. Comment posted by hailtotheking on September 20th, 2007 at 2:36 am

    Sandra, I’m not sure if you get G4TV where you live but apparently Milla was on Attack of the Show today. The show already aired once but there should be a replay at some point today. Tomorrow should be Oded and I think Ali will be on Friday.

  7. Comment posted by Sandra on September 20th, 2007 at 2:58 am

    Darn it, no I don’t - we only get Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and even that’s a pain to try and tape with our uber difficult digital set-top box. :(

    That’s a shame. I get the channel but I don’t have anything to record it onto my computer with.

    To make up for it though,

    MovieWeb.com has a video interview with the cast.

    http://www.movieweb.com/video/V07IRqS6ZrghVC

    IGN also has a video interview as well.

    http://media.movies.ign.com/media/605/605467/vid_2128335.html

    And to finish things off, the movie channel STARZ has an behind the scenes show called On Set and it ran a 7 to 8 minute long behind the scenes video for Extinction.

    Luckily, this site has the entire program online.

    http://terrorfeed.com/index.php?id=re-exctinction-feature

    I just want to give you fair warning though, there is a LOT of spoiler material in this behind the scenes video including character deaths and how the Tyrant is defeated at the end of the film.
