The next Resident Evil movie is being directed by Zach Cregger of Weapons fame, who played 'thousands and thousands of hours of Resident Evil' but hasn't seen any of the movies

Resident Evil 1 zombie.

The sketch-comedian-to-horror-movie-director pipeline is real. Jordan Peele went from Mad TV and Key & Peele to Get Out, Nope, and Us. Josh Ruben went from CollegeHumor to Werewolves Within, Heart Eyes, and Scare Me. And now Zach Cregger of The Whitest Kids U' Know has become a horror-movie name to watch with Barbarian, Weapons, and an upcoming Resident Evil movie.

Weapons was great, a twisty Stephen King-adjacent story of missing kids in the suburbs, but a zombie action-horror movie will be a whole different kettle of fish. I just hope Cregger doesn't leave his sense of humor behind, because the worst thing you could do with the camp tone of Resi is try to pretend it's Serious Business.
