I love the image of George Romero struggling to play RE1 and getting confused before saying "fuck it! You play this" to his secretary and throwing them the controller.

I can’t wait for the official documentary about this!!!

This along Jodorowsky´s Dune, Neil Blomkapmf´s Alien 5 and Colin Trevorrow´s SW episode 9 are my favorite unmade movies.

i think the full Romero's Version it will be something like Dawn of the Dead with Alone in the Dark - New nightmare, for sure it would have some "supernatural" tasty vibes, not entirely scientifically. I read some of the scripts and i have a lot of fun. Its not Resident Evil like Anderson's version. But its damn good

I absolutely love the resedent evil movies even though they are not true to the games and I do love the games I went through resident evil one at least 10 times

hot take it would have been dog shit, but we would love it with time for what it was

[@memesouls8653]

Nah I definitely think it would have been something note worthy seeing how much of a fan he was of the game and its story. This was the main issue with many of the early 90s/2000s video game-movie adaptations as their directors and producers weren’t interested at all in what made fans love the game and instead focused on what would make the film appeal to mass audiences. Seeing how Romero refused to give into producer demands I think if he got his way we would have been surely satisfied with the film. It would’ve not only been a great RE film but also just a great film in general.

I wasn't really a big fan of it hate it when directors take a book or a game and try to put their own spin on it to try and make a splash. Resident Evil Zero, One, Two, and 3, could easily be adapted into movies or a show all they gotta do is follow the Resident Evil books written by S.D. Perry. Even the Resident Evil book that came out with Resident Evil 1 on the Sega would of made for an amazing movie.
