Los Angeles/Munich. Hollywood actress Milla Jovovich was paired with a
very special BMW K 1200 R in Munich following an advanced press
screening of the forthcoming "Resident Evil: Extinction"
movie, which is due for release in the autumn. Thirty-one year-old
Jovovich was in Germany to promote the latest instalment in the
best-selling Resident Evil movie franchise, based on the gaming
phenomenon of the same name. Jovovich's character, Alice, rides a BMW
K 1200 R in the film. Milla Jovovich, borne in the Ukrainia, commenting
the BMW Motorrad, that is based on the 163 horsepower four-cylinder K
1200 R - currently the most powerful production naked roadster in the
world - "I'm not the best judge but I've had a few guy friends
freak out over it and say that the bones [design] are awesome. It looks
great." Created by talented artist Georg Huber to commemorate the
BMW K 1200 R's starring role in the new action blockbuster, the 'RE3'
show bike features immaculately airbrushed spinal bones on the tank and
detailed gold lettering on the fairing to tie in with the theme of the
action movie, which takes off where Resident Evil: Apocalypse left off.
Jovovich has starred in many films, including futuristic, action
thriller Ultraviolet; Sir Richard Attenborough's Chaplin; Luc Besson's
The Fifth Element; and Spike Lee's He Got Game. Commenting on the
forthcoming "Resident Evil: Extinction" movie, Jovovich is
proud of the work she has done on the third film in this trilogy:
"It was a lot of fun making it - these films have been a great
experience for me. I guess I feel like I can do a lot of different
parts but action I really love. I love training and working with
weapons; it's a lot of fun but takes a lot of focus. I get to recreate
this character and it's been a great opportunity for me - not many
actors can say they have a 3 DVD box-set."
