Nakashima Mika's appearance in the latest film of "Bio Hazard" (known as Resident Evil outside Japan) has come to light, in the role of the first infected person who triggers the whole story.
As for the casting of Nakashima, Director Paul W. S. Anderson said...
"Mika was really fantastic. I thought this film should be located in Tokyo where the game was born. And I wanted real Japanese, not one in Hollywood, to play the first infected person who would be the start of everything in the series. This inevitably required the appearance of Japanese actress. Milla Jovovich had been aware of Mika, and I also know Mika through YouTube. Thus I chose Mika following my own instincts."
And also he praised her a great deal...
"Although Mika had been thoroughly wet for hours in a severe cold, she played the nonspeaking role fantastically only with facial expression and movement, without losing her concentration."
The unveiling of the film will start at the world premiere held in Tokyo just as the story starts in Shibuya. Mika will be on stage with Milla at the world premiere on Sept. 2. The new "Bio Hazard" will be starting from the place where the two will meet for the first time in a year after the shooting last October.
Nakashima commented :
"I could hardly believe when I first heard about this matter. Though the filming was done at the cold time of the year, I was struck by the kindness and the warm support of all of the staff."
