Zach Cregger Frustrated by Game Comparisons Around His Resident Evil Movie
The writer-director said on The Town podcast that much of the discussion focused on whether the film met fans' standards and used the game characters.
Zach Cregger, the writer-director of the Resident Evil movie, said he was frustrated by how much of the conversation around the film focused on its relationship to the games rather than on the movie itself, according to gamesradar.com.
Speaking on The Town podcast, Cregger said the discussion centred on whether the film met different fans' standards, used the game characters and got the lore wrong.
Cregger said he loves the movie and is proud of it, and that it is the film he set out to make. He added that he should have expected that reaction going into the project.
Asked whether he would make a movie based on another property again, Cregger gave a "never say never" answer, according to the outlet.
His next project is the original sci-fi film The Flood, which recently added Jennifer Lawrence to its cast.
