The movies range from mediocre to embarrassingly bad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, for the first time, a talented filmmaker is going to try his hand at adapting the material. Zach Cregger, the director behind Weapons and Barbarian, is currently filming a new live-action Resident Film starring Austin Abrams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Cregger is a massive fan of the video game franchise, but he has decided to tell an original story. That doesn&#8217;t mean he&#8217;s not drawing from the games. He recently revealed which world the film lives in and the tone it is going for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt probably lives more in the world of 2 and 3, but I&#8217;d say it adheres more to the tone of 4,\u201d Cregger said on the Double Toasted YouTube channel. \u201cBut you know, the thing about the games is that the game franchise itself is incredibly malleable. 2 and 3 take place in Raccoon City, and then 4 takes place in Spain, and it feels like it&#8217;s in the past even though it&#8217;s not. And then 7 is like a Texas Chainsaw kind of a thing. And then 8 is like some ancient European village and definitely in the past.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Resident Evil 2 and 3 do feature action elements, but are very much survival horror games. Resident 4 has plenty of horror, but it&#8217;s when the franchise started to focus on action. Considering Cregger is coming from a horror background, it&#8217;s not a surprise he&#8217;s focusing more on horror for his film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/resident-evil-requiem-grace-alyssa-220557398.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Resident Evil Requiem: Who Are Grace &amp; Alyssa Ashcroft?;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: Resident Evil Requiem: Who Are Grace &amp; Alyssa Ashcroft?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>This story was originally reported by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/gamedaily.com\/games\/zach-cregger-reveals-which-games-hes-drawing-from-for-resident-evil-movie\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:GameDaily;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">GameDaily<\/a> on Sep 4, 2025, where it first appeared in the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/gamedaily.com\/games\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Games;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Games<\/a> section.
