The director of the new Resident Evil adaptation can't put down the controller: he has already completed the new installment twice

The director of the new adaptation of Resident Evil, Zach Cregger, has once again demonstrated his commitment to the franchise by completing the latest release, Resident Evil Requiem, on two occasions, according to a tweet from Deadline writer, Destiny Jackson.

Cregger, known for his work in horror films like Barbarian and Weapons, is ready to bring his unique vision to the series, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this week.

In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Cregger revealed that his movie will depart from the iconic characters of the saga, offering a completely original narrative.

“When you see it, you’ll think, ‘this is very Zach,’” he noted. Despite the absence of these characters, Cregger assures that video game fans will not be disappointed. The production is receiving considerable creative freedom, and one of the producers has described the project as a “rollercoaster of relentless action.”

Meanwhile, Resident Evil Requiem has become the fastest video game release to reach six million copies sold within Capcom’s legendary series. The story follows Leon Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft on a chilling adventure through Raccoon City, promising an experience full of scares and plenty of action.

On the other hand, Jackson mentioned that Cregger stepped down from Resident Evil Village, calling it the “scariest” installment in the series. However, many players still believe that Resident Evil 7 holds its place as the most terrifying title, especially due to the unsettling monster from the Beneviento House that lingers in fans’ nightmares.
