With excitement building for the forthcoming Resident Evil film, director Zach Cregger has revealed that the movie may deviate from the storylines presented in the video games. In a recent interview, Cregger, renowned for his work on the 2022 release Barbarian, shared his vision for the reboot, discussing the structure he intends to use for the film.
Zach Cregger says the Resident Evil reboot movie may deviate from the ‘lore of the games’
In a recent chat, the actor or director expressed that he’s not aiming to create a film that strictly adheres to the established ‘background story’ or ‘world’ of the Resident Evil video games.
When conversing with SFX Magazine, Zach Cregger admitted that, given the acclaim of the video game series, his upcoming movie might encounter criticism from fans, irrespective of its merit.
The director of the new Resident Evil movie openly expressed his deep-seated fondness for the Resident Evil video games, having played each one multiple times, even repeatedly replaying RE4. However, he clarified that while he appreciates the game’s lore, he isn’t aiming to slavishly follow it in the film adaptation. (via GamesRadar+)
Afterward, Cregger elaborated on his strategy for the reboot, emphasizing, “I aim to narrate a tale that resonates with the genuine sensation of playing the games. I don’t believe I’m violating any fundamental rules, but I’m aware that regardless of my actions, there will be individuals ready to voice their opinions online.
Despite any reservations or doubts, Zach Cregger remains optimistic about the Resident Evil film he’s producing. He emphasized, “My primary goal is to create a truly excellent movie and share an engaging narrative. I am confident that I’ll be satisfied with the final product, and I hope others will feel the same.
Although the movie doesn’t have an officially announced name, Sony Pictures has set its release for September 18, 2026.
