Gamerant: Resident Evil Director Gives Fans An Official Update on Franchise Future
I've seen it widely misreported that Zach Cregger felt so bullied by Resident Evil fans that he'll never do another adaptation of any IP again, but that's just not what he said.
Rather, he generally feels like sticking to someone else's universe limits his creativity too much. But in the case of Resident Evil specifically, he already has some future story ideas for more story, while cautioning that the first film isn't even out yet (it wasn't at the time of the interview).
Reddit has been unable to shut up about this movie for weeks now, but I think they greatly overestimate their power to influence normal people with lives and friends.
I'll probably go see the movie and try to get the popcorn bucket myself. Be mindful of spoilers, please :)
