Director Zach Cregger made Barbarian, so you’d think his reputation would be safe, but he’s now making a new Resident Evil movie and he’s aware of how badly this is going to go for him.

Speaking to SFX Magazine he explained “I am a gigantic Resident Evil game fan. I’ve played them all,” but in his film he’s “definitely not trying to be completely obedient to the lore of the games.@

Which means: “I’m trying to tell a story that just feels authentic to the experience you get when you play the games. I don’t think I’m breaking any major rules, but I also recognize that no matter what I do, people are going to come for me online.”

He’s a real one.
