From Fango:

Oded Fehr (pictured) has signed to co-star in RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION, the third film in the video game-based franchise, reprising his role from the previous RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE. Also back from that film are Sienna Guillory, Mike Epps, Iain (DARKNESS) Glen and, of course, series star Milla Jovovich. Russell Mulcahy directs this latest installment, which, like the other EVILs, was scripted by Paul W.S. Anderson and is produced by Anderson and his Impact Pictures partner Jeremy Bolt, along with Constantin Film's Robert Kulzer. EXTINCTION, presumably to be released by Screen Gems, rolls next month in Mexico; Fehr first came to filmgoers' attention as Ardeth Bay in the MUMMY films.

From MoviesOnline:

According to Variety, Sienna Guillory will be back as Jill Valentine in "Resident Evil Extinction". The film will be produced by Germany's Constantin Film and Impact Pictures and directed by Russell Mulcahy. Filming is scheduled to begin in mid-May in Mexicali, Mexico. Milla Jovovich will also be back and star as "Alice" besides Mike Epps, Oded Fehr, and Iain Glen.

RE filming news, also from MoviesOnline:

A scooper who is an extra in the upcoming Resident Evil movie wrote in to let us know that the film is filming in Mexico, specifically in Lagunda Salada which is a massive dried up lakebed. "Laguna Salada", is a dried up lake on the outskirts of the city, near "La Rumorosa" which is a mountain. Here is what he had to say.

Hi I’m from Mexicali B.C.N. it’s located south to Calexico CA. on México, today was the casting for the zombies papers on the new Resident Evil 3 movie, on the "Secretaria of turismo", I know, I was there, and passed, according to them, the shootings are gonna begin on July – August, only thin people and people that looked like North Americans where asked to sign up with their personal papers for the shooting.

There is no official storyline available, due to the fact that the movie still is in pre-production. Its said that "Extinction" (the third part) will be set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun with mutant zombies and will play in the Nevada desert. Alice is running with a new pack of humans, leading a caravan that's cutting through the Nevada desert on a long trek to Alaska. Hunted by the minions of the perpetually scheming Dr. Isaacs, Alice has zombies hungry for her flesh and lab rats hungry for her blood - while Alice herself is hungry for only one thing: revenge.
