Resident Evil's Zach Cregger Admits He Was 'Naive' To Assume Fans Would Approve of Him Avoiding a Direct Adaptation of the Games
Zach Cregger admitted that he was “naive” to think his less-direct approach to adapting Resident Evil would be universally well-received by fans after deliberately choosing to avoid retelling the story exactly as it unfolds in the games.
In an interview, Resident Evil filmmaker Zach Cregger admitted he was "naive" for assuming fans would appreciate his decision to avoid directly adapting the games. The movie, focusing on medical courier Bryan (Austin Abrams), takes place in parallel to Resident Evil 2 and aims to capture the player's experience of navigating zombie-filled corridors and evading Lickers.
Cregger acknowledged that some fans were disappointed as they had been waiting for Leon, Ada, and Jill's stories, expressing his regret and emphasizing his love for the series. Despite the controversy, Cregger hoped viewers would appreciate the love for the games in his film.
