"A former UN investigator is thrust into the middle of trying to stop what could be the end of the world.

New tomorrow from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is Resident Evil: Retribution, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory and Michelle Rodriguez.
"Umbrella Corporation's deadly T-virus is spreading across the globe, transforming ordinary people into legions of undead. Headed for extinction, the human race has just one hope: Alice (Milla Jovovich). She's on a mission, fighting her way through cities and across continents, all inside Umbrella's prime research facility. Old friends become new enemies as she battles to escape and discovers that everything that she believes may not even be true."
"From the makers of Coraline comes the story of Norman, a boy who must use his special powers to save his town from a centuries-old curse. In addition to spooky zombies, he'll also have to take on unpredictable ghosts, wily witches and, worst, of all, clueless grown-ups. But this young ghoul whisperer will soon find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits. Featuring the voice talents of Kodi Smit-McPhee, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Leslie Mann, Jeff Garlin and John Goodman, it's a frightfully funny tale for the whole family."
Majesco Entertainment has announced Pet Zombies in 3D, a new title that they will produce for the Nintendo 3DS.

And Pet Zombies will be an exclusive for the 3DS.
Developed by 1st Playable Productions, Pet Zombies in 3D letsplayers raise their very own decaying human pets by managing their special dietary preferences (brains and the like), bodily maintenance (or lack thereof) and morbid activities needed to keep them happily undead. Players can choose to play with, care for, or even mischievously torment their zombies in creepy locations like cemeteries, evacuated malls or rundown military bases. Each 3D environment is customizable with mix-and-match objects, themed backdrops and even music to best fit each pet zombie's personality and tastes. Throughout the game, players can discover new zombies to add to their horde and customize them with facial bone deformations, variable decay, clothing and unlockable items. Players will also use the Nintendo 3DS accelerometer controls in various activities, including rolling zombie heads through mazes, and can earn trophies and in-game currency to spend in the Zombie Pet Shop.
Pet Zombies in 3D is expected to be available in the fall.
Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter and Wentworth Miller, Afterlife is the fourth installment in the Resident Evil film series (and also the highest grossing entry with a $60 million + domestic box office).
Sony Pictures is presenting the title on three different formats - DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D.

Together they take refuge with other survivors in an abandoned prison, where a savage zombie mob stands between them and the safety of "Arcadia." Escaping these bloodthirsty mutants will take an arsenal. But facing off with Albert Wesker and the Umbrella Corporation will take the fight for survival to a new level of danger. - Sony Pictures
