Zach Cregger is shooting his Resident Evil reboot later this year. He states that he has never seen any of the Resident Evil films. Is that normal, to make adaptations where you never bother checking what worked or didn't work in previous adaptations? I understanding wanting to have avoid copying other people unconsciously, but normally when people adapt things they make a point of understanding the wider context. It's like shooting a new James Bond film but you refuse to watch any of the other Bond films.

Zach Cregger's Resident Evil adaptation is shooting in a few months. Will it carve out a space of its own, or will it be forever overshadowed by Paul W.S. Anderson's post-modern masterpiece RE: Retribution?

All this drama over Superman is going to repeat next year when Resident Evil is rebooted. Take a franchise where an auteur took over for years and impressed his own identity onto a series of films. Now a director beloved by nerds is trying to reboot it. However, a key difference is that where Gunn desperately tried to appeal to older Superman fans, Cregger knows that his take is going to come with controversy.
