Summit Entertainment has struck a first-look deal to sell movies from Constantin. The first title covered under the Constantin agreement will be the third installment in the "Resident Evil" franchise, titled "Resident Evil: Extinction," which is set to begin production in 2006 reports Variety.
Russell Mulcahy will direct with Milla Jovovich reprising her starring role. Summit is currently selling Eichinger's upcoming pet project "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer".
Thanks to this deal, they've also picked up international rights to "Adrift," an American thriller shot in Malta but set off the coast of Mexico. The film follows six long-time friends who go on a cruise in a luxury yacht and go swimming, only to realize that they forgot to let down the ladder and there's no way to climb back onto the boat (with only a baby onboard).
