The filmmaker responsible for the forthcoming Resident Evil movie has shared insights into his creative approach for the remake, mentioning potential departures from the original storyline, which might stir discontent among certain enthusiasts.
In the latest edition of SFX magazine (as reported by GamesRadar), Zach Cregger stated that he doesn’t intend to strictly adhere to the game lore for the movie. He didn’t provide specific details about potential alterations, but Cregger confirmed that he won’t violate any significant rules established within the franchise.
Apart from expressing his excitement, he also emphasized to fans that he is an ardent fan of the “Resident Evil” video game series, having completed every installment available. Notably, he holds a special affection for Resident Evil 4 and mentioned that he has lost count of the number of times he’s played it.
Rather than intending to make the game follow strictly, Cregger explained his goal is to create a narrative that resonates as genuinely connected to the feeling one gets while playing these games.
As a die-hard Resident Evil enthusiast, I’m determined to craft an authentic tale. However, I’m well aware that, regardless of my efforts, there will always be critics ready to voice their opinions online.
He expressed his intention as follows: “I aim to create an exceptional film and narrate a captivating tale. I believe I will find satisfaction with the final product, and I hope others will feel the same.
Previously, Cregger was the director for the hit horror movie Barbarian from 2022, which he came up with himself. After achieving success with that film, Cregger is returning with another original project titled Weapons, set to release in August featuring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin. Contrary to this, Resident Evil marks Cregger’s debut at adapting a significant franchise, as it is based on Capcom’s popular series.
Previously, Barbarian wasn’t the debut film for Cregger; instead, he and his former collaborator from The Whitest Kids U’ Know group, Trevor Moore, had directed the movie “Miss March” which was met with negative reviews back in 2009.
Regarding the Resident Evil video game franchise, a new installment titled “Resident Evil: Requiem” will be released in February 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and personal computers (PC). In addition to this, a mobile version of the game, named “Resident Evil Survival Unit,” is also being developed.
