Zach Cregger frustrated by Resident Evil debate over source material instead of the movie

Zach Cregger felt the conversation about his Resident Evil film centered on whether it met fans’ standards for characters and lore, not on the movie. He has also described resisting a checklist approach to writing franchise films. Backlash has reportedly made him wary of a follow-up, but his “never say never” answer concerned another adaptation, not a sequel announcement.
