Zach Cregger er en af Hollywoods hotteste horror-navne lige nu, og det med rette for at sige det mildt. Hans næste projekt er desuden en slags genoplivning af Resident Evil franchisen på det store lærred, og han har delt flere af sine tanker om hvordan han vil bære sig ad.
I et interview med Double Toasted siger han, at det bliver én karakters rejse dybere og dybere ind i helvede, ligesom det ville være for en typisk protagonist i et Resident Evil-spil:
"All I can say is that it is true to the experience of the games. It takes place in the world of the games, but most importantly the journey you'll have as a viewer of watching this movie is going to be similar to the journey you have as a player when you play these games. And what that means is it follows one protagonist from point A to point B as they just descend deeper and deeper and deeper into hell."
Men hvilke spil har han ladet sig inspirere af? Her nævner han en spændende kombination, for han siger at filmen hører mere til i Resident Evil 1 og 2's verden, men har tonen fra 4:
"It probably lives more in the world of 2 and 3, but I'd say it adheres more to the tone of 4. But 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's in the past even though it'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."
