""That feels so cinematic to me. So I wanted to tell a story that could take place in the Resident Evil world, but wasn't telling a story that the games had already told. To me, I would feel like there's kind of no winning there if I were to tell Leon's story, because the games do such a great job; it would just be kind of redundant, and ultimately, I think, disappointing.""
""I wanted to keep true to like [in the games], you start with a pistol, you graduate to a shotgun, and then eventually you find an MP5. You're always worried about how many bullets you have, and you're getting injured and all those things. So it was such a fun challenge for me to try and write a game as a movie.""
""I feel so sensitive about talking about the film on behalf of fans of the games because he's trying to tell a new story inside the world.""
Zach Cregger's upcoming Resident Evil movie is not a direct adaptation of the game stories or characters. Instead, it follows a character on a journey, maintaining a cinematic format. Cregger believes retelling Leon's story would be redundant and disappointing, opting instead to celebrate the games by creating a new narrative that exists alongside them. The film is set in the world of Resident Evil 2, with some adjustments for dramatic purposes, while incorporating game elements like weapon progression and resource management.
