woah

@theRealFK9 He wrote a resident evil script. He was a fan of resident evil. If he didn’t get the ip he would have changed the name to something else.

@Ohhbeans Not cool at all. This being a story he wanted to tell whether he got the IP or not means the IP has nothing to do with it. It was just a means to get the movie made, so he could do his own thing.

So you thought it would be less disappointing to adapt your random zombie fanfiction and slap the Resident Evil name on it?

@MadFanBoyWhite @MeanJoeBeam1 @ShitpostRock2 Because when a good director and writer comes to you with a script you take it. They’ve had shit directors and writers for all of their past films. Now they’ve got a real film maker on their hands. Y’all should be happy Cregger decided to dabble with resident evil.

@MeanJoeBeam1 @ShitpostRock2 The first 2 are "ok" for the time. There is no excuse now to not do a true adaptation of the games with the characters.

Why are people hyping this up? It looks like the most generic fucking Zombie movie of all time and has nothing to do with resident evil?

@JMaine518 @AaronB0100 @sevenblades I read the script (it got leaked online and is pretty easy to find), theirs a lot zombies in it. Even zombie dogs. Theirs also a handful of different creatures.

@AaronB0100 @sevenblades You sound dumb if you actually watched the interview you would know that he also said it’s barely any zombies in this movie as well.

That Zach Cregger IGN interview killed all the excitement I had for that Resident Evil movie 😞

@wegrospiritual @Daniel_093 @ThomasThorbur11 Agreed, which is promising for this movie as he’s only getting better with each film he releases.

@Ohhbeans @Daniel_093 @ThomasThorbur11 Weapons is better, but true about Barbarian.

Zach Cregger talking about resident evil village.

@theRealFK9 He’s a fan of the series. He said he would have written the script regardless of if it got green lit or not. He’s basically wrote his own fan fiction and got backing to make it into a movie. How cool is that?

@Ohhbeans If he wants to make something original, what does he need the Resident Evil IP for, aside from it being a vehicle to get the movie greenlit in the first place?

@PeetzNVidya So he would have wrote a fan made version of resident evil regardless of whether or not he got the ip to produce the movie? I don’t get why people keep pulling this quote. He’s saying he’s a fan and he would have written the story regardless.

This post gets undone by one quote.

@Godspeed2529 @ChloeNumberIII That movie was incredible. So was weapons. Just say you have bad taste and move along.

@ChloeNumberIII Same guy who made barbarian and idc what anyone says that movie is a dumpster fire

i think this is gonna be bad not for gamer chud reasons like "where is leon" but for smart people reasons like the fact that it's being directed by zach cregger

@BORJWAZEEZES @ChloeNumberIII He wrote and directed both barbarian and weapons. Both were great.

@ChloeNumberIII they're booing you but you're right Barbarian being good doesn't make him a good director

@ChloeNumberIII What are you talking about. He wrote and directed to great movies. Weapons and Barbarian. Both had high praise and made lots of money at the box office. He’s got a great track record, especially in the horror genre.

@Daniel_093 @ThomasThorbur11 He wrote it as well. He also wrote and directed barbarian, and wrote and directed this new resident evil movie.

@ThomasThorbur11 The guy from Whitest Kids You Know directed Weapons? I'm losing my mind rn.

@RCTypewriter @SuspendedDoll1 I read the script. That is, multiple zombies that merged together somehow into a new creature of sorts.

@SuspendedDoll1 Second I saw whatever this is I was like alright man lmaooo again, on its own this will be a good horror movie I’m sure, it just ain’t RE 😭 I’m not even pressed over directly adapting any games, but that’s not this

Gotta love the Resident Evil tourists popping in to tell lifelong fans of the franchise that we’re wrong for being skeptical of what we saw today

@SuspendedDoll1 @benb998 I don’t think anyone could in your mind.

@benb998 I'm not saying he's a bad director, but can he nail Resident Evil?

That Resident Evil movie trailer was so erm... underwhelming, and if you think it looks amazing, well I don't you're as big of a fan of the franchise as you say you are.

@SuspendedDoll1 @take_a_skit I don’t like that in today’s day and age everything has to be recycled, copied, and pasted to be good. You want all the things you like to be remade into oblivion. No original thoughts are allowed. Pretty sad to live this way. People are scared of new things.

@take_a_skit Go watch the marvel avengers movies

@Diogo_SPombo @ArklayEmbers @Valiantes_ Yeah because the movies they made based off the games prior to this were extremely well made and successful.

@Ohhbeans @ArklayEmbers @Valiantes_ Make a series instead of a movie, or have plans for more than one movie. If there's a game franchise that's relatively easy to adapt into live action, that franchise is Resident Evil.

Today has shown just how clueless and brain dead alot of Resident Evil "fans" actually are. It's pathetic that there are people crying about there being snow in the new movie, or complaining about it being an original character and story instead of a 1:1 adaptation. (1/6)

@Diogo_SPombo @ArklayEmbers @Valiantes_ I think you missed the part where you can’t condense a video game into a 2 hour movie.

@ArklayEmbers @Valiantes_ If RE2 did it, why not use RE2? Oh yeah, make an original story just like the already established one, because why not.

@Rexxthetrex @BDisgusting

Official synopsis for Zach Cregger's RESIDENT EVIL: In an all-new reinvention, Resident Evil follows Bryan (Austin Abrams), a medical courier who finds himself in an action-packed, non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos.

@Rexxthetrex @youngpoultry @CultureCrave

Zach Cregger on his 'Resident Evil' movie 🧟‍♂️ "I wanted this movie to tell the story of what would happen if some idiot like me were dropped into the world of a Resident Evil game. So Austin plays not some badass with combat experience like Leon but just an average dude. That makes his experience of moving through this hellscape way more interesting to me than somebody who’s psychologically equipped" "A pistol [is] the first weapon he acquires in the movie. Just like in the games, as he progresses through the world he’ll get better weapons. It’s such a fun moment when you’re playing RE and you finally get the shotgun or the machine gun and I wanted that sense of progression to be in the movie" "Resident Evil is of course a franchise that’s got a ton of zombies but it’s also got all sorts of weirder monstrosities. Really wanted to make sure that we never got a handle on what kind of dangers we’d find. It’s not just a zombie movie. The T-Virus can have a lot of different effects and I wanted to make sure we had a variety of adversaries" "The slow discovery of horrific elements is something I really love about Resident Evil. It’s not a run and gun action game. It’s about tension and atmosphere and so I really wanted to lean into that. As much as there’s plenty of action in the movie it’s equally important to honor the dread. That moment when you look down a dark passage and you know something awful is waiting in that darkness for you. You don’t want to go forwards but you can’t go back. That’s the sweet spot"
