Resident Evil Director Explains Why Leon Isn't In New Movie
""I wanted to tell a story that could take place in the Resident Evil world, but wasn't telling a story that the games had already told. To me, I would feel like there's kind of no winning there if I were to tell Leon's story, because the games do such a great job. It would just be kind of redundant, and ultimately, I think, disappointing.""
""I feel so sensitive about talking about the movie on behalf of the game fans, because I think some of the fans are only going to be happy if I tell the story of the games. And I'm not doing that, because I feel like I wouldn't do it justice. I feel like the games do such a great job of telling that story.""
""If you're worried that there won't be any Resident Evil lore or elements in this movie, don't be. Cregger explained to the PlayStation Blog that the movie will feature nods to the games.""
The new Resident Evil movie, directed by Zach Cregger, is not an adaptation of existing game stories or characters. Instead, it introduces a fresh narrative set during the events of Resident Evil 2. Cregger emphasizes that retelling Leon's story would be redundant and disappointing, as the games already excel in that area. He aims to create a story that respects the franchise while incorporating familiar elements, ensuring that fans will still find connections to the Resident Evil lore within the film.
