Netflix Resident Evil Movie Will “Get Back to the Roots of the Game”

The writer and director of Netflix’s Resident Evil reboot movie will supposedly “get back to the roots of the game”, a promise that was also previously made and (somewhat) delivered through Resident Evil 7.

The Netflix production was originally announced as a TV series but has since been confirmed to be a movie – Writer and Director Johannes Roberts explained that it is currently in active development and that the film will get back to the roots of the game:

“We are in active development of that at the moment. I pitched them a take, and they really loved it. So, we are just gearing up on that as we speak, really. I’m in the office all the time there. So, yeah, it’s great. It’s gonna be super scary. It’s super, super scary. And it’s just getting back to the roots of the game. I think, at the moment, I’m not really allowed to say much more than that. But it’s gonna be a lot of fun.”

The former series of Resident Evil movies starred Milla Jovovich and had great emphasis on action (in addition to great criticism), a far cry from the first few games in the franchise that instead focused on survival horror.

Robert’s remark will no doubt have some theorizing that the film might pay more attention to maintaining a terrifying atmosphere; but, given the track record when it comes to under-performing game to movie adaptations, others may have less than stellar expectations.
