Zach Cregger is teasing his new vision for Resident Evil and why he wanted to reboot the franchise.

The film adaptation of the Capcom videogame is set to star Austin Abrams, and in a new interview, Cregger revealed why he wanted to tell this story.

“Because I love the games,” Cregger told ComicBook. “I played all of the games. I played Resident Evil 4 a hundred times through. I’m obsessed with it. And so, I just want to tell a story that feels like it’s honoring the experience you get when you play the games.”

He continued, “I haven’t seen the movies, that’s just not my thing. But the games are my thing. That’s just a playground I just love….I think the movie is going to rip. I think it’s going to rip.”

Cregger added that his film “will be built in the spirit of those games and follows one central protagonist from point A to point B, as they descend deeper into hell.”

I don't mind if it isn't 100% following the games story line I just want it to carry the same tone and not turn into a Matrix of the living Dead movie like the other franchise.

DIRECTOR OF WHO?!! Already trash save the budget and cancel it now

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

This should be a good movie then, because the tension was done very well in Weapons

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

Hauser’s the man. Cregger is cookin’. Expecting basement fukkery in some capacity.
