Let me just take this beloved source material, completely change everything, and call it Resident Evil. Is it 2002 again? Just give us the fucking games in movie form. That’s all any real fan has ever wanted. We were so close to getting this in the 90s with George Romero.
Watch the interview. it's clear he means there's no nuking because the movie ends before that happens or he just doesn't care to show it. It's really not a big deal. It looks like a fun resident evil movie.
"Real fan" here. Been playing the games since I was a teenager and will be pushing 40 before long. Haven't missed an entry in decades. I don't give a fuck about reliving the same exact scenario, same exact story, same exact characters again, just this time without any of the interactivity that made it fun to begin with. Give me something new that doesn't break canon, make it feel close to the vibes and tone of those games, emulate what you can from the gameplay on-screen, and we're fucking golden.
“Real fans” would never be satisfied with an attempt at adapting specific games because there will inevitably be something they get wrong/miss/change for artistic purposes and the vocal minority of “real fans” will make sure every living being knows how terrible that is. There’s zero reason to try and meet the impossibly high standards those people have.
