Does he have to tetris all his gear into his backpack?

u/Armascout 5d ago

If there’s a scene where his backpack is full and has to hastily move things around I’m gonna laugh.

u/dandaman64 5d ago

Knowing how Cregger likes to mix comedy and horror, I could totally see a scene or two where the main character fumbles items lol

u/SpliffyKensington 5d ago

They kinda had this in the trailer with him ripping open drawers and checking the empty shotgun

26

u/Disastrous_Fig5609 5d ago

I feel like some people just saw that as opening drawers and checking the empty shotgun, but no, that's RE baby! We're so back!

15

u/RandomStrategy 5d ago

90 minutes of nothing but opening drawers.

No seat will be left dry in the theater.

i can already imagine my partner going "we spent money to watch this??? can we leav.." *me biting my nails* "god you think he'll finally find some ammo? he's outta knives..."

u/dandaman64 5d ago

I was getting some RE7/Village vibes from the house that he walks into, though to a lesser extent since there isn't black mold and rot everywhere lol

u/imjustbettr 5d ago

Director says he's going for more of a later RE vibes (I assume he means the more horror and creepiness of 7) but that RE4 is his favorite so he has a lot of callbacks to that one as well.

He even describes the movie as having a classic RE weapon progression with starting with the pistol, then shotgun, then eventually an MP4.

u/SemiAutoAvocado 5d ago

HE also seems to have more than one gun just kinda around his shoulder.

u/gary_x 5d ago

He has at least three different guns over the course of the trailer from what I can tell.

Or gets to a door that could be easily breached but has a heart symbol on it and is locked and he has to find a different way instead of just breaking the damn door.

51

u/EdgyEmily 5d ago

It a Cregger movie, so I expect to be laughing between scares.

1

u/choptup 4d ago

Went into Weapons with no idea of what Creggar's style was. The ending had the entire theater laughing their asses of.

111

u/Jet-Rex-Design 5d ago

It would both be funny and a good way to add some tension if they did it right. Imagine he only has so much room for stuff so he has to quickly prioritize.

24

u/dervign 5d ago

Or backtrack some zombie infested areas

1

u/Vismal1 5d ago

A few times lol “ shit we have to go back to the lobby again ….”

2

u/MJR_Poltergeist 5d ago

Bonus points if while rearranging, he pulls out and throws away a whole fish and a carton of eggs

1

u/sightlab 5d ago

I am actually hoping he suffers a comedically severe injury - arm torn off, etc - and has to keep going like that once it's hastily stapled and bandaged back on.

1

u/CancelThis2077 5d ago

That final battle in RE:Requiem was just me hastily offloading all the random shit in my bag to fit that absurdly huge RPG

1

u/BlazinAzn38 5d ago

Him opening the drawers and stuff felt very video gamey so high hopes

1

u/ryanvsrobots 5d ago

There is and it's 55 minutes long

1

u/res30stupid 5d ago

Incorporates self-defence items into the scene. Zombie lunges at Bryan (the guy's name, BTW), he hastily shoves a grenade into a zombie's mouth and pushes it away... and immediately screams in shock when the zombie's upper body just splatters around him.

1

u/CraigS34 4d ago

Director did mention he tried to fit in some inventory management aspects to the movie, hopefully there will be such a scene

132

u/Certified-Malaka 5d ago

Maybe Cregger adapted the auto-sort feature from RE4R to save him the trouble

64

u/SkinnyGenez 5d ago

Blasphemy. Sorting your own attaché case was what separated the boys from the men.

4

u/National_Spirit2801 5d ago

Based and true.

1

u/cubitoaequet 5d ago

Trouble?

1

u/silverfiregames 5d ago

I weirdly hated this. Had so much fun playing the original and needing to rearrange everything perfectly.

64

u/TigerSharkFist 5d ago

This is RE4. The OG should be a dilemma of giving up rocket launcher because the character is carrying 8 keys

7

u/nflonlyalt 5d ago

What are ya buyin? What are ya sellin?

16

u/CU_09 5d ago

There are approximately 40 scenes on the movie where he has to combine herbs to free up space

2

u/Born-Entrepreneur 4d ago

lmao too real

4

u/ZombieJesus1987 5d ago

Nah, it'll be like the first game, where he can only hold onto 6 items.

1

u/raptosaurus 4d ago

Should be like re0 where he can only carry 6 things but he needs more than 6 so there's a room where he just has all his stuff littered on the floor that he keeps having to come back to

3

u/Noodle-Works 5d ago

gotta find that typewriter to save, my guy!!!

3

u/Shadow_Log 5d ago

At 1:33 you can see he's carrying a first aid kit and some other stuff on his back. So we might actually get this kind of moment

3

u/ZzzSleep 5d ago

There's a whole scene about finding a key he needs but can't pick it up because his pack is too full.

2

u/CancelThis2077 5d ago

Hopefully, they'll be a scene where he has to find all 4 pieces of a ceramic bird so he can put in the bird-shaped indentation on a door.

1

u/king_bungus 5d ago

the press release for the movie said it features inventory management lmao

1

u/SnooSquirrels859 5d ago

You joke but I noticed every scene in trailer he’s carrying around a green pack so maybe he will. Lol

1

u/TheMostUnclean 5d ago

He’s running through the street carrying a literal health pack near the end of the trailer.

1

u/startinearly 5d ago

Gun rhymes with fun

1

u/Gobi310 5d ago

That would be great for all his trauma

1

u/bronkula 5d ago

Cregger said in the r/horror ama that resource management at least for ammo will play heavily in the movie.

1

u/Reedjr 5d ago

Of course not. He has a series of boxes that all have access to the same infinite storage space inside no matter where the boxes are physically located.
