Resident Evil continues to struggle with faithful film adaptations, despite its popularity among gamers. Paul W. S. Anderson's films were commercially successful but dismissed by fans. Reboots from Sony and Netflix failed to resonate, leading to a third attempt directed by Zach Cregger, who openly admits to loving the games. However, his approach prioritizes creating an authentic narrative experience over strict adherence to game lore, raising concerns about the direction of the new adaptation, which will focus on a courier's journey in a challenging environment.
I am a gigantic Resident Evil game fan. I've played them all. I don't know how many times I've just looped Resident Evil 4 again and again. I just love it.
I'm definitely not trying to be completely obedient to the lore of the games. I'm trying to tell a story that just feels authentic to the experience you get when you play the games.
Cregger's Resident Evil will follow the story of a hapless courier tasked with delivering a package to a remote hospital.
The addition of director Zach Cregger, whose Barbarian felt like the perfect audition, gave fans some reason to hope.
