Michelle Rodriguez also pointed out to Cameron that she’s been resurrected too many times in the movies.
“I came back in ‘Resident Evil’ when I wasn’t supposed to. I came back in “Machete” when I was not supposed to. I came back in Letty [son personnage des films de la saga «Rapides et dangereux», NDLR] when I was not supposed to. We can’t do it a fourth time! That would be way too much!”
“I don’t understand, it’s so weird, she added about the fact that several of her movie characters had been brought back to life. I guess they don’t know what to do with the girl who doesn’t have a boyfriend. Do we keep her alive or do we kill her?”
