Milla Jovovich has joined another thriller, and I'm starting to wonder if she's moving up from the Resident Evil series to much better things.

The plot behind The 4th Kind is being kept quiet, but a few details have been revealed and it seems as though it's a story based on truth...well perhaps some.

All that The Hollywood Reporter through Yahoo News can tell us is that it concerns an ongoing unsolved mystery of a town that has an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances over the last forty years and this brings accusations of a federal cover-up.

It seems that Milla Jovovich's character will be the one to investigate the disappearances.

Right now she's on A Perfect Getaway written and directed by David Twohy and Paul Verhoeven's Azazel remake. Both seem to be a bit of a leap from the Resident Evil series, which I think were good fun and she wasn't half bad in, maybe now we'll get to see more of her more serious acting side.

There's the question though, looking back through her career, is there a serious side to be had and a strong actress somewhere in there?
