Salmon posted on his Twitter account Saturday, stating, "Confirmed I will be shooting new Resident Evil movie. Paul Anderson has written an amazing script."

It seems almost of the new concerning "Resident Evil: Retribution" is coming from Twitter these days, with lead actress Milla Jovovich giving almost daily updates on the production.

As for Salmon's role in "Retribution," little is known at the moment considering his character One was left in more than a few pieces in the first film.

In addition to "Resident Evil," Salmon has starred in "AVP: Alien vs. Predator," which was also directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, as well as "Tomorrow Never Dies," "The World is Not Enough" and "Punisher: War Zone."

Screen Gems has set a Sept. 14, 2012, release date for "Retribution" and the film will once again be directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, who is married by Jovovich.

The actress posted Friday: "hey every1! 'camp evil' is in full swing! every1 has moved in2 the studio here in toronto and we're 1 big happy family. lol!"

She also discussed the film's costumes and stunt work.

"already i've cut 2 of alices costume changes, i mean really! is this a resident evil fashion show? no way," she posted, again on Friday, following up with, "the costume my design partner, carmen hawk, and i have drawn up looks so great! i'm going in a few minutes to try it on!"

"also, i sat in on a stunt rehearsal yesterday and its SICK!!!! we're working w nick powell, who did the stunts on the "bourne" movies," she posted.

Powell has had a lengthy career in stunt work and served as coordinator on "The Three Musketeers," which will be released in the U.S. next month and was also directed by Anderson.

The first "Resident Evil" film was released in 2002, followed by "Apocalypse" in 2004, "Extinction" in 2007 and "Afterlife" in 2010.

Milla Jovovich reveals 'Resident Evil 5' title will be 'Retribution'

Actress Milla Jovovich, who appeared as Alice in all four "Resident Evil" films, has been talking up a storm about the forthcoming fifth installment, which she revealed will be called "Retribution."

"Afterlife" was the highest grossing
film so far in the franchise.

"I think its called RE: Retribution, but i have to ask paul 2 b sure," she posted on Twitter, referring to husband Paul W.S. Anderson, who directed each of the films so far.

Jovovich also noted the film will take place in Japan, posting, "I pray 4 japan everyday and i can't wait 2 go there and shoot the nxt RE!"

She continued that Anderson is still working on the script and hinted that characters will be returning. "Its gonna b CRAZY! N fans r gonna luv who we bring back!" she posted.

We already know Jill Valentine will be returning based on the extra scene following the credits of "Resident Evil: Afterlife" and confirmed by actress Sienna Guillory, again on Twitter.

As I said before, I hope will finally learn the fate of the young Angela (Sophie Vavasseur), who like Jill vanished sometime between the second and third films.

The "Resident Evil" films have been a guilty pleasure for me, and I look forward to number five.
