Zach Cregger admits he was "frustrated" by the conversation around Resident Evil's relationship to the games

Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie was a massive hit and – for our money at least – the best video game movie ever made. But one aspect of making and releasing Resident Evil still irks writer-director Cregger: the conversation around the movie's relationship to the Resident Evil games.

Appearing on The Town podcast, Cregger was asked about his foray into IP filmmaking, and whether he'd make a movie based on another property again ("I mean, never say never"). But it seems like the big hurdle to Cregger wading back into IP waters is his frustration over the fact that "all the conversation [around Resident Evil] just felt like it was about not the movie".

"I was frustrated at the conversation around Resident Evil and how much of the conversation really didn't have anything to do with the movie," Cregger told host Matt Belloni. "It had everything to do with whether the movie was living up to the different standards that different fans of the games had, whether it was using the characters or not, or what did I get wrong in the lore, or why is it? It was just a lot about why isn't this like the source material or why is it good that it's not like the… All the conversation just felt like it was about not the movie."

Despite these frustrations, Cregger acknowledges that he's "proud" of Resident Evil, as it's exactly the movie he set out to make. "I really love the movie," Cregger said, before admitting, "I should have known better going into it.
