Anderson made his feature film debut with the British independent film "Shopping" (1994), and found commercial success with his second film, the Hollywood-produced "Mortal Kombat" (1995), based on the first couple of video games of the same name by Midway Games. Today, he is best known as the creative voice behind the "Resident Evil" film series (2002–2016), which stars his eventual wife Milla Jovovich, and is based on the Capcom video game series of the same name. The series consists of six films, of which Anderson directed four, that have collectively grossed over $1 billion worldwide, making it the most commercially successful video game adaptation to this date. Other notable films of Anderson's are "Event Horizon" (1997), an initial critical and commercial disappointment that found renewed appreciation on home video; "Alien vs. Predator" (2004), based on the crossover concept of the same name between the "Alien" and "Predator" franchises; and "Death Race" (2008), a remake/prequel to 1975's "Death Race 2000".
