Zach Cregger, known for his horror/thriller movies Weapons and Barbarian, revealed that his upcoming Resident Evil movie is the most violent endeavor he has undertaken. In an interview with Empire, Cregger emphasized the importance of going all out in terms of violence, describing the film as gnarly and brutal. Apart from his directorial ventures, Cregger reminisced about his past involvement in violent sketches during his comedy days with Whitest Kids 'U Know.
Discussing his approach to the Resident Evil movie, Cregger mentioned that he focused on delivering a fun story rather than delving into the franchise's lore or explaining intricate details like the T-virus. The movie centers around one character's journey on foot, engaging in battles with monsters, without conforming to traditional storytelling norms. The Resident Evil movie, set to release on September 18, features Austin Abrams as Bryan, a medical courier dispatched to a hospital in Raccoon City. Cregger shared an anecdote about Abrams nearly facing a dangerous situation on set involving a 150-pound blood bag.
In gaming news, Capcom recently celebrated the success of Resident Evil Requiem, the latest installment in the Resident Evil series, surpassing 8 million units in sales.
