Zach Cregger Teases What His ‘Resident Evil’ Will Be Like At CinemaCon

deadline.com:

Nothing has been shot yet, but Zach Cregger stopped by the Las Vegas-hosted CinemaCon to get exhibitors excited about his rendition of Resident Evil, teasing that his version is “unlike any of the previous films” and a “wild ride.” “There’s a moment that comes in every moment of every Resident Evil game where you find yourself standing in the mouth of a dark passageway.

One shot in the gun is left,” he set up. “You know that something horrible is waiting for you in that darkness, that awful moment where you have to will yourself.

That’s something that every Resident Evil game has perfected and has kept me and millions of other players returning to the series for decades.” “My movie will be built in the spirit of those games and follows one central protagonist from point A to point B, as they descend deeper into hell.” Constantin’s Resident Evil was on the block, being shopped around, but Sony made sure the $1.2 billion grossing franchise stayed at the Culver City lot.

Constantin’s Robert Kulzer, Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee (Barbarian, Minecraft) and Miri Yoon (Woman of the Hour, Weapons) and PlayStation Productions are also producing.
