Eftersom Resident Evil Requiem netop er blevet lanceret med massive salgstal, kan man roligt sige, at interessen for serien er på sit højeste nogensinde. Det er med dette i baghovedet, at den kommende filmatisering, der håndteres af Weapons-instruktøren Zach Cregger, skiller sig ud som noget lovende og spændende at holde øje med, især da den betragtes som en "trofast filmatisering", selvom den <a href="https://www.gamereactor.eu/zach-creggers-resident-evil-movie-is-entirely-original-wont-feature-fan-favourite-character-1604393/" title="Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie is "entirely original " won't feature fan-favourite character" target="_blank">ikke vil kredse om fan-favoritkarakterer eller velkendte plotlinjer.
Da filmatiseringer af computerspil kan være lidt af en blandet fornøjelse - og Resident Evil-eksemplerne har været særligt slemme til tider - bliver de lovende elementer i denne kommende filmatisering mødt med en vis forsigtighed, noget som selv Leon S. Kennedys stemmeskuespiller oplever.
I en samtale med GamesRadar+ har Nick Apostolides nævnt, at han er "forsigtigt optimistisk" omkring Creggers projekt, og at han mener, at instruktøren har det, der skal til for at "lave en fantastisk film."
"I'm cautiously optimistic. This is the first time I'm really a big fan of the director's previous works. I think he's a very talented guy. He's got a great vision. And the fact that I read somewhere that the studios have kind of given him a lot of control and just said, 'Do what you want to do, we trust you.' Because Weapons was fantastic and made a lot of money, and so the fact that they're letting him go, I think he's going to make a fantastic movie."
Apostolides fortsætter: "I think there will always be pockets of Resident Evil fans who say, 'Well, it wasn't this, or it wasn't that, it wasn't what I hoped,' but I think it's going to be an entertaining movie regardless. I think I'm going to walk out of the theater and say, 'That was fun,' and I'm going to see it. That's my opinion. I'm going to see it. I'm going to watch it. I hope I enjoy it. I think I will."
