Zach Cregger's 'Resident Evil' Movie Won't Be "Completely Obedient" To Games
Zach Cregger, director of the upcoming Resident Evil movie reboot, has admitted that his adaptation will not be a one-for-one retelling of the games, and that it won't be 'completely obedient' to its lore. Speaking during an interview with SFX, Cregger reassured fans by stating how much of a Resident Evil fan he was, and exclaimed that he didn't know how many times he had replayed Resident Evil 4 . He didn't explain how his take will differ from its source material, but said that it will still remain authentic to the essence of the games. Resident Evil 2 (2019) 'I'm trying to tell a story that just feels authentic to the experience you get when you play the games. I don't think I'm breaking any major rules, but I also recognise that no matter what I do, people are going to come for me online,' Cregger said, 'So all I want to do is just make a really good movie and tell a story that's compelling. I know that I'm gonna be happy with the movie, and hopefully other people will, too.' Only time will tell how the movie will differ from the games, and in what specific way. For now, all that's confirmed from the project is its single announced actor, Euphoria's Austin Abrams, who will take on a yet-to-be-announced role. The movie has not begun filming yet, but it will be based on a script co-written by Cregger and Shay Hatten ( Ballerina ). Resident Evil HD Remaster (2015) This isn't the only film in Cregger's pipeline either, as he is also set to work with Abrams once more in the upcoming mystery thriller Weapons , which stars Josh Brolin ( Dune ) and Julia Garner ( Wolf Man ) and follows a set of mysterious disappearances in a small-town community. The film is set for release on 8 August, giving Cregger time after to fully commit himself to the Resident Evil movie, which is due out on 18 September 2026. Kevin is a reformed PC Master Race gamer with a penchant for franchise 'duds' like Darksiders III and Dead Space 3 . He has made it his life-long mission to play every single major game release – lest his wallet dies trying. Resident Evil Resident Evil Movie Zach Cregger

Josh Brolin shows off his massive fake tattoos on set after removing his real ink
appeared almost unrecognizable as he displayed some eye-popping faux tattoos while on the set of the forthcoming thriller Whalefall on Monday. The 57-year-old veteran actor went shirtless at the San Pedro, California location, adding dark jeans and a faded purple baseball cap. His chest, arms, and back were heavily inked, more than one year after the star removed a real tattoo on his shoulder blade. Whalefall is an adaption of the Daniel Kraus novel and follows Jay, a young scuba diver in search of his late father's Mitt Gardiner's (Brolin) remains. Amid his hunt, he gets swallowed by an 80ft, 60-ton sperm whale and has a limited amount of time before his oxygen runs out. After giving in to defeat, Jay suddenly finds a reason to live. It was announced by Deadline in March that Josh was in negotiations to star opposite Austin Abrams in the film the outlet described as 'The Martian meets 127 Hours.' Whalefall entered production earlier this month, as Kraus gave fans a first-look at Josh as the tattooed Mitt. Originally shared via his newsletter, the photo was later circulated on X by the horror-themed account @BloodyDisgusting. It showed Josh shirtless, covered in his character's tattoos as he wore a ribbed green hat and sported a goatee. Kraus co-wrote the screenplay in collaboration with director Brian Duffield. Also part of the cast are Elisabeth Shue, Jane Levy, John Ortiz, and Emily Rudd, according to Daniel reflected in his newsletter, 'Nearly all of my books have been optioned at some point, but very few get shot, and I wouldn't have necessarily bet on the book that's mostly set inside a whale would be the one to get there — and attract so much talent.' He added, 'Not only Brolin, but Austin Abrams (playing Jay), who I've gotten to know as a good dude who is super-super-super serious about this role.'

He posed in a photo in front of a black van with the business name 'Removery Tattoo Removal & Fading' across it. Wearing a burgundy trucker hat, brown shirt, and jeans, he flashed the 'hang loose' hand gesture. The next slide was a video snippet showing him stretched out while a specialist took a laser to the tattoo. 'Thank you @removery for getting this bulls**t off my back.
