A QUIET PLACE Creators Pitch Insane 1917-Style One-Take RESIDENT EVIL Movie

A Quiet Place writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods have a unique approach to a new Resident Evil movie – do an insane, outrageous one-take movie like 1917.
Woods tells ComicBook.com. “We thought the zombie genre has gotten so tired. We’ve just seen every iteration of zombies you could possibly imagine. So, how do you do something new? With Resident Evil, we were like, ‘Oh, maybe you could approach it like [1917] and just do this insane, outrageous oner in the zombie genre with Resident Evil,’ which feels organic to Resident Evil because those games feel like one big piece of movement and sustained piece of suspense.“
While this sounds badass, we already know the powers that be behind the scenes have instead chosen to reboot the series Stranger: Prey at Night director Johannes Roberts’ origin story set in 1998 on a fateful night in Raccoon City.
Kaya Scodelario (Crawl) stars as Claire Redfield with Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp) as Jill Valentine, Robbie Amell (Upload) as Chris Redfield, Tom Hopper (Umbrella Academy) as Albert Wesker, Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap) as Leon S. Kennedy, and Neal McDonough (Yellowstone) as William Birkin.
Roberts says: “With this movie, I really wanted to go back to the original first two games and re-create the terrifying visceral experience I had when I first played them whilst at the same time telling a grounded human story about a small dying American town that feels both relatable and relevant to today’s audiences.”
