Jill Valentine Returning in 'Resident Evil: Afterlife'? Maybe.

Like it or not, it seems that Twitter is here to stay as a news source. More and more films are taking advantage of the social networking site to keep fans abreast of virtually every step of the filmmaking process. Actors, directors, and even producers have used the service to market their work, share what's happening on set, and even break news and that trend doesn't look to be changing anytime soon.

The latest genre celebrity to tweet up a storm while filming is none other than Milla Jovovich. Hard at work on Resident Evil: Afterlife, the actress has still found time to fire off an amazing number of posts. Fans who've been following along (you can find her feed here) have been treated to lots of chatter about what's being shot, the rigors of making a zombie film, and even the occasional bit of insider info. Take this tidbit, for example:

"Valentine MAY b back..."

Character Jill Valentine (played by Sienna Guillory) hasn't been seen since Resident Evil: Apocalypse, but would be another familiar face to go alongside Ali Larter's Claire Redfield should this actually come to pass. No word on whether or not Guillory would be returning to play the role, but we'll keep you posted.

Resident Evil: Afterlife is currently shooting. It's expected to release theatrically in September of 2010.
