Production
Actors portraying zombies were trained at a zombie "boot camp"
where they were coached to act as
zen-zombies and
liquid zombies.
.^ SIENNA GUILLORY plays a STARS member who's quite proficient at killing zombies and joins forces with Alice and others to survive and rescue Angie.- SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE 18 September 2009 18:46 UTC www.screenit.com [Source type: General]

[6] The
design for Nemesis was to include an actor in a suit (
Matthew G.
Taylor) with only special-effects applied to certain parts of
the character's body, such as the eye.
[6] The
Lickers were fully computer-generated,
though the use of physical puppets was originally considered.
[6] To
avert issues faced during production, the CGI work of the lickers
began early.
[6] The
film was filmed on location in Canada, with the film entering
pre-production
stages in mid 2003.
Principal photography was slated
to originally begin in July 2003,
[16
] before being bumped up to August 6, 2003.
[8]
The film was shot in
Ontario, Canada,
with
Toronto and its
surrounding suburbs being a stand-in for Raccoon City.
[17] Toronto City
Hall and
Exhibition Place (namely the National
Trade Centre) were used as
Umbrella's worldwide headquarters,
while the logos of
Canada's largest banks feature
prominently in the skyline shots of the city, and the
Prince
Edward Viaduct was used to represent Ravens' Gate.

Nathan Rabin of

Jovovich but felt that "the rest of the cast is strictly

is "not without its moments of elemental dread [but] also obviously
padded, too long on action, and painfully short on irony. The
