Zach Cregger’s ‘Resident Evil’ Movie Approach Sounds Familiar
In a surprising twist, writer-director Zach Cregger has revealed his approach to the upcoming Resident Evil film is eerily reminiscent of previous iterations. In an interview with Inverse, Cregger candidly confessed to being “the biggest worshipper of the games” and vowed to craft a love letter to Capcom’s beloved franchise. This move comes as a stark contrast to the divisive previous films, which deviated significantly from the source material.
Cregger’s words seem to imply that he will be adhering closely to the lore of the video game series, much like the 2021 film “Welcome to Raccoon City”, which attempted to do just that. However, it seems this new approach may go a step further as Cregger has stated his story is “outside of the characters of the games”. This means fans can expect a completely fresh narrative that stays true to the Resident Evil universe’s established rules.
While this move might raise eyebrows among die-hard gamers and franchise enthusiasts, Cregger’s dedication to the series suggests he may be on the right track. His comments also bring back memories of previous film iterations, where characters were created specifically for the silver screen adaptation. It seems that approach will not be repeated with this new installment.
The prospect of a Resident Evil film that stays true to its roots and introduces an entirely new set of characters is tantalizing. Cregger’s passion for the franchise shines through in his words, and gamers can only hope that his commitment translates into a quality viewing experience.
It may have a different story and new cast of characters, but Cregger’s Resident Evil plans bring these movies full circle, in a way.
