Zach Cregger Promises His RESIDENT EVIL Movie Will Tell a Brand-New Story, Not Retread the Games — GeekTyrant
Zach Cregger isn't here to rehash the Resident Evil stories fans already know by heart. The Weapons director is diving into the world of the iconic horror franchise, but he's making it clear to fans that his upcoming film will step outside the established narratives of the games while still staying true to their DNA. 'I am the biggest worshiper of the games, so I'm telling a story that is a love letter to the games and follows the rules of the games,' Cregger told Inverse. He emphasized that while his film exists in the Resident Evil universe, it will focus on an entirely different set of characters. 'It is obedient to the lore of the games, it's just a different story,' he explained. 'I'm not going to tell Leon's story, because Leon's story is told in the games. [Fans] already have that.' Cregger is directing from a script he co-wrote with Shay Hatten, with Constantin Film producing and co-financing. The producing team also includes Robert Kulzer, Roy Lee, Miri Yoon, and PlayStation Productions. Since its debut in 1994 on the original PlayStation, Resident Evil has grown into one of the most successful and influential horror franchises in gaming history. The games inspired a long-running film series led by Milla Jovovich, starting with the 2002 Resident Evil and continuing through six movies, before Johannes Roberts rebooted the property in 2021 with Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City . While fans might wonder what a new Resident Evil story could look like without Leon Kennedy, Jill Valentine, or Chris Redfield front and center, Cregger believes the franchise's core appeal isn't tied to specific protagonists, but to the nerve-wracking structure and atmosphere the games perfected. 'Those games pioneered something special,' he previously said. 'The pacing of those games is so unique and effective, and just being locked in with one character moving from point A to point B, knowing you're going to pass through this gauntlet of terror, and you've got to be methodical and thoughtful about it. 'That's cool. That's cinematic. So I want to tell the story in the world of the games that honors the lore of the games, but it's a new story.' With Cregger's respect for the source material and his determination to chart new territory, his take on Resident Evil could be exactly the kind of fresh nightmare fans have been waiting for.

Zach Cregger's "Resident Evil" Movie Will Tell a Different Story
Yara Sameh Zach Cregger (Weapons, Barbarian) remains adamant about not remaking any story within the 'Resident Evil' saga for his big-screen adaptation. While he wants to have an original plot, the actor/writer/director told Inverse that he's 'not breaking the rules of the games.' He added, 'I am the biggest worshiper of the games, so I'm telling a story that is a love letter to the games and follows the rules of the games.' Cregger will direct the movie based on the hugely popular horror video game franchise from a script he co-wrote alongside Shay Hatten. Constantin Film is producing and co-financing the film. Constantin's Robert Kulzer, Vertigo Entertainment's Roy Lee and Miri Yoon, and PlayStation Productions are also producing. Cregger is set on creating a project that is 'outside of the characters of the games,' but he reassured fans that the game's roots will be respected. 'It is obedient to the lore of the games, it's just a different story,' Cregger added. 'I'm not going to tell Leon's story, because Leon's story is told in the games. [Fans] already have that.' 'Resident Evil' was released in 1994 as a PlayStation game before being ported to other platforms. In 2002, the first 'Resident Evil' film premiered in theaters with Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez as the leads. Jovovich went on to lead the following 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse' (2004), 'Resident Evil: Extinction' (2007), 'Resident Evil: Afterlife' (2010), 'Resident Evil: Retribution' (2012), and 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter' (2017). In 2021, filmmaker Johannes Roberts took on the franchise reboot 'Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City' as the writer and director. Ahead of the August 8 release of 'Weapons,' Cregger told Variety he hopes to capture the cinematic experience of 'Resident Evil.' 'Those games pioneered something special,' he said. 'The pacing of those games is so unique and effective, and just being locked in with one character moving from point A to point B, knowing you're going to pass through this gauntlet of terror, and you've got to be methodical and thoughtful about it. That's cool. That's cinematic. So I want to tell the story in the world of the games that honors the lore of the games, but it's a new story.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
