Zach Cregger is feeling the pressure of taking on one of gaming's most notoriously protective fanbases. The director helming the highly anticipated Resident Evil cinematic reboot recently admitted that he is acutely aware of the massive expectations placed upon his shoulders.
According to Cregger, straying from the survival horror franchise's established universe simply isn't an option. The filmmaker candidly confessed that he fully expects die-hard followers of the series to "crucify" him if the upcoming movie deviates from the official lore.
His stark admission suggests that the upcoming project will prioritize accuracy and faithfulness to the original video game source material. For gamers who have closely guarded the decades-long legacy of the series, Cregger's fear of a fan uprising might just be the best news yet.
