I'm gutted that Ali won't be in this one. :(

I'm curious as to what the reasoning is - are Miller, Larter, and Locke all unavailable? Or was it a from-the-get-go script thing (i.e., the film was too crowded with the introduction of all the new characters so they decided to "write" a few out)?

I'm assuming it's something to do with the script. As far as I am aware, Ali doesn't have anything else going on. =/

Ali's got some film that's shooting in Mexico (the title escapes me), but I didn't think that's started yet? But Spencer has already left to film her new movie (something about a beach).

What I don't understand, if it's an overcrowding issue, what is Anderson going to do in the supposed final film? At best he's only pushing the issue ahead a few years, unless of course he kills off a bunch of characters before then.

Yay! Shawn is back!

I know! I feel kinda bad for saying it given the awful Chris/Claire news, but, for me, whateverall can happen with RE5 now; aliens, mole people*, I don't care - I am complete! Shawn's coming back! :D

*: Not that this is an endorsement of anything that stupid. I'm just sayin'.

Butbutbut I want Claire. :( Could definitely do without Luther.

I understand the need to write out some of the old characters, especially if they're introducing a bunch of new ones. It may even be a salary issue - too many big-name actors taking up space and dollar signs perhaps? But if we have to sacrifice Ali and Wentworth to get Sienna back, I'm game. I was mostly worried they would pointlessly recast her. Shawn I could do without though, his Wesker was laughable and unnecessary.
