Zach Cregger's Resident Evil - Trailer Reaction

The best description of this movie that I've seen is that it's a story of a random dead NPC you'd find in a Resident Evil game.

“The police station events are going on at the same time, and this main character is just on the other side of town… like way on the other side. In Canada.”

“September 28th, daylight. The monsters have overtaken the city…somehow it’s snowing.”

The snowy winter setting just proves that this was his own story and was told by a studio to slap the Resident Evil name on it so it could get made

That’s just like how Happy Gilmore was set in the same world as the Mummy - just different parts of the world!!

"September 30th, 1998. It's a day I'll never forget. It was snowing and I got my first iPhone."

Looks like a classic case of "hey, no one's buying this script, so let's stamp some known IP on it. People love known IP".

"I'm a huge fan of the games. I've played them all" -> Makes an Evil Dead movie

Hollywood: "We know what you all want, but we're never gonna give it to you."

Nobody will ever convince me this was written as a resident evil movie , it was written as a random zombie movie and they said yeah let's just put the name on it for copyright purposes and sales
