Resident Evil director Zach Cregger defends major change in new film
If he ever fell in love with fellow horror director who is sometimes funny Robert Eggers he would be Zach Cregger Eggers. Maybe that could be a part of this Resident Evil film.
Resident Evil should always include rhyming. Obviously.
They should collaborate i agree
and then if THEY married Doctor Eggman . . .
& if they got preggers their bb could be greg cregger eggers
He was just interviewed recently and basically said yeah fuck doing another franchise movie ever again
And if Bo Derek married Craig T. Nelson and then Tony Darrow, she'd be Bo N. Darrow! (It took 45 years, but my subscription to Dynamite Magazine has FINALLY paid off)
I love Zach Cregger, and I'm still betting his Resident Evil whips ass. But I hope this whole experience makes him never want to do another franchise horror movie ever again.
Let me revise. I hope his experience gives all up and coming horror directors pause about doing franchise horror. If it can happen to Cregger, it can happen to you.
The article I read about him cutting jokes bc of a test screening was so frustrating bc his films ARE humorous, but now we've lost that.
He's already said he doesn't want to do another one lol.
I sincerely hope he didn't shit the bed after deciding the movie was just too damn funny.
I think the mario and FNAF movies succeeding set a really bad precedent for what people want out of franchise adaptions.
Same. If I get an iota of his normal work with the creature potential shown in the trailer we will be fine. And I hope he never touches franchise work again.
God forbid someone mix genres to strengthen one another 🙄 Also goddammit Zach Cregger is a sketch comedian. Did y’all not watch Weapons? It’s scary AND funny and it works well. Plus I know the Resident Evil games are funny sometimes. What do y’all want????
In other news here’s James A. Janisse praising the first 30 minutes as “awesome.” Weirdly enough he says it’s really funny?? So idk if the half hour he saw is in the final cut. I will say that he’s probably saying this more as a fan of Zach Cregger than an RE fan. I’m still holding on to hope tho
Resident Evil is basically a comedy-horror. Leon quipping is the norm, 1 was always cheesy af... I'm getting worried again now.
*looks left to see Chris punching a boulder* *looks right to see Leon backflip and then do a funny quip* *looks behind to see all the one liners in the franchise* I think the audience wasn't made up of RE fans....just a thought. I just hope a director's cut comes out with all the jokes.
